The Geological and Biological Origins of New Zealand Introduction New Zealand has a unique landscape with many animals and plants that are native only to itself. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the geological history of the formation‚ as well as the biological origins‚ of New Zealand. It will also discuss how the major land-forming processes of volcanism‚ glaciation and tectonic plates have shaped the country and defined it’s native flora and fauna. Eighty-five million years ago the

1. The science of biogeography is the description of distribution of life and the explanation of this description. The description is based on both time and space. This describes how things look and why they are there. It also looks to answer the question – are these features the same over time? Biogeography arose with the theory that life on earth is a non-random distribution. This is the most important observation leading to the field of biogeography. The study of biogeography includes many other

It can be a superb piece of writing‚ but if you haven’t linked to the text‚ you can kiss a good third of your marks goodbye I reckon. – You can link OVERTLY – that is‚ use a character or set in 1930′s Australia to explore the conflict b/w white settlers and indigenous Oz (One Night The Moon‚ obviously!) – or more SUBTLY – using landscape metaphors from the film –

Half yearly studies Chapter 2: Reproduction What is Sexual Reproduction? Sexual reproduction occurs when offspring result from the fusion of a male reproductive cell and a female reproductive cell. These special reproductive cells are called gametes and they are produced in the reproductive organs of the organism. External Fertilisation * Gametes are tiny and are dehydrated extremely easily‚ so they only survive in specific conditions. * Some animals‚ specifically those that live in

Biology Unit 4 Chapter 1: “Terrible Lizards” Paleontologist: someone who studies “ancient organisms” Paleobiology – the study of ancient life Paleontology is particularly important with regard to scientific theory‚ since for many children dinosaurs are the first exposure to scientific concepts Early Dino Stuff In 1676- large meat- eating femur (Megalosaurus) was discovered and people thought it was a giant human’s scrotum – “Scrotum humanum” First scientific name given to dinosaur Prior to 1800s

Evolution by natural selection is slow but can be observed in certain situations. How to spot evolution in real time: Artificial selection – manipulation by humans such as breeding dogs or growing corn. Repro-rate – rate of reproduction. Stochastic Event: unexpected disaster like a volcano eruption or tornado. (Research geological time) LIVING THINGS: Biology – Study of living things. Living things – all the organisms descended from a single-celled ancestor. * Characteristics:
