    "Explain How Biological Isolation, Geological Stability and Erratic Climate Make the Australian Continent and Its Flora and Fauna so Unique.”

    The Australian environment also has relative geological stability. The last volcanoes were active many years ago, and the last of the glaciers shrank and melted many years ago. We only had volcanoes and glaciers because of the separation of Pangaea therefore making the Continental Drift Theory. There is little geological activity to create or refresh fertile soils. The majority of Australia is very old rock therefore means that we have very poor soils and recently alluvial soils which also have poor nutrients.…

    Final Paper: Environmental Studies 190

    Environmental Studies 190 has been an extremely beneficial course to me. This was my first quarter at the University of California, Santa Barbara as a transfer student. My first quarter was difficult for me because I was not accustomed to the pace of the system. I came from a community college that was on the semester system. There were a few classes that I was not as excited to attend every week. This course was not one of them. I was excited to come to class every Wednesday to come and listen to the wonderful people who donated their time to speak to students.…

    An Environmental Study

    You are a general contractor wishing to put up a modest sized cement production plant on the outskirts of town. The plant would operate on only one 10-hour shift per day and would produce about 400 cubic yards of output per day for six days per week. It is necessary for an environmental impact study to be undertaken before the county can issue a permit. The biggest issue is, of course, the air quality implications of cement production, but potential impacts on water quality are of concern as well. It is now October, and you want to start building the plant by the end of next summer, if at all possible. It is now time to issue an RFP to procure an environmental impact analysis. Studies of this type normally require about three months of concerted effort by a team of analysts…

    Ap Environmental Science Personal Statement

    I'm passionate about science, specifically the science that revolves around how our planet works. I live in an area that is a geological hot spot, I’m only miles away from Crater Lake and I live near the Cascadia Subduction Zone. I began to learn that earthquakes and natural disasters were a phenomenon that I wanted to learn more about. So I challenged myself by taking 4 and half years worth of science credits. My junior year I took Chemistry and Physics, and my senior year I continued building credit by taking AP Environmental Science. Each year I strived to earn good grades so that I could have an opportunity to continue my education. I want to earn a bachelor's degree in Earth Science and continue on to an advanced degree. My career goal…

    Environmental Observations

    I was able to attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at Calvary Lutheran Parish House in Dover, PA on a Sunday afternoon. The location was easy to find and close to my house. When I arrived, I noticed a group of people smoking near the building and walked over to them and inquired about if I had the right location of the meeting. A gentleman told me to go down the stairs and then I would be in the room that the meeting took place. I walked over to the steps and had to duck my head to keep from hitting my head while walking down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs there was a small room with rows of chairs and a few chairs around the outside of the rows of chairs.…
