The TITLE OF STUDY says specifically what you intend to study. Talk to your teacher for further assistance and to check that the topic is in the syllabus. Three examples of topics are given below.

What factors have contributed to the growth of population in Brown's Town, Jamaica (Jumieka) over the past 20 years?
What processes contribute to the weathering of rocks on the facing the Queens Highway, St. Ann, Jamaica?
Does deforestation contribute to soil erosion in a section of Egypt, Browns Town, St. Ann, Jamaica.

Aim of Study

The Title of Study and the Aim of Study go together. This is the question that your study will be based on. The Aim of the SBA is a statement that says what it is that you will achieve in answering the topic of the SBA. The Aim of the study should have no less than two descriptive words. You include your title in the Aim in the form of a question. the aim helps to determine how the data will be collected and how the data will be presented.
The Aim of the study uses descriptive words such as: identify, compare, classify, contrast, explain, explore, determine, find out, examine, investigate, observe, describe, illustrate, discuss

Examples of aims:

to identify and discuss the factors which have contributed to the growth of population in Brown's Town, Jamaica over the past to find out and describe the processes contribute to the weathering of rocks on the facing the Queens Highway, St. Ann, Jamaica? to investigate whether deforestation has contributed to soil erosion in a sections of Egypt, Brown's Town and explain how it has affected the area.

    Soil is a very vital component for plants that helps them grow and thrive in the environment they are in. Erosion is causing soil to dissipate and it is putting a lot of strain on different plant species. In my paper I will discuss the effects erosion has on the environment and I will provide different ways to eradicate or control erosion. I will also discuss the consequences that erosion will provide if it is not managed quickly.…

    Whenever bedrock is exposed, it weathers. Weathered rock often has a different color or texture from neighboring unexposed bedrock. Most significant from a topographic standpoint, exposed bedrock is likely to be looser than the underlying rock. Blocks or chips maybe so loose that they can be detached with little effort. Sometimes pieces are so “rotten” that they can be crumbled by finger pressure. Slightly deeper in the bedrock, there is firmer, more solid rock, although along cracks or crevices weathering may extend to considerable depths. In some cases, the weathering may reach as much as several hundred meters beneath the surface. This penetration is made possible by open spaces in the rock bodies and even between the mineral grains. Subsurface weathering is initiated along these openings, which can be penetrated by such weathering agents as water, air, and plant roots. As time passes, the weathering effects spread from the immediate vicinity of the openings into the denser rock beyond.…

    Soil erosion is the "wearing away or removal of soil from the land" (Berg, 2013). Being that soil erosion reduces the amount of soil in an area, vegetation growth can become very limited. As a result, it disrupts the balance of the ecosystem by eliminating food…

    Deforestation In Haiti

    The first biophysical factor affecting soil is its topography, 75% of the land is mountainous with more than 60% of land with a gradient greater than 20%, even without human intervention, Haiti has a natural high risk of erosion. The second biophysical factor is its soil type. There are 4 major subtypes, Udepts and Usteps that are newly formed shallow soil that can support forests and grasslands. Fluvents that are shallow and sandy and so susceptible to leaching where the rate of soil erosion exceeds the rate of soil formation and Udults that are heavily leached acidic forests and has a very low fertility requiring additional nutrients to support successful crop production. Another factor is the bimodal rainfall pattern. Haiti has a tropical climate with two annual rainy seasons; April - June and August - November. These climatic conditions cause erosion by wind during periods of moisture deficit and by water during periods of moisture surplus. The differences in soil types means that there is a limited amount of cultivable land. Soil surveys by the US Department of Agriculture in 1980 state that only 11.3% of the land is suitable for crops, 31.7% is suitable for crops but with some restriction, 2.3% mediocre due to poor drainage system but acceptable for rice cultivation and 54.7% is suitable for tree crops or pastures due to severe erosion and steep…

    “Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.”- James Baldwin.

A person can be hungry without being a victim of poverty; a person who is living in poverty is more than likely experiencing hunger as well. There are people all over the world who are victims of poverty and hunger. However, some countries experience it more than others. Poverty and hunger is present for more that one reason and those different reasons vary depending on the country.…

    Generally associated with poor rock, but instability may also occur in isolated parts of otherwise sound rock. The rock salt content and salt type at these sites indicate how intensity salt weathering acting on such weak sedimentary rock, the main salt weathering mechanisms are: salt crystallization, salt hydration, thermal expansion ,in addition to chemical effect of salts. The rate of weathering is 1.52 mm/year for areas close to seashore (Necropolis of Mustafa Kamil and El-Shatbi Necropolis), and 1.36 mm/year for those far away from seashore (Catacombs of Kom EL-Shoqafa and Amod EL-Sawari or Pompey’s Pillar archaeological area) (Hemeda et al.…
