to qualitative research methodologies (“What is Geography “ 2012). Physical geography is that branch of natural science which deals with the study of processes and patterns in the natural environment like heatmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ biosphere‚ and geosphere‚ as opposed to the cultural or built environment‚ the domain of human geography (“What is Geography “ 2012). This is the geography that most people think of. There is also is a type of critical geography that uses the theories and philosophy

Garrett Hardin’s Tragedy of the Commons 2) The Tragedy of the Commons is an economics theory by Garrett Hardin‚ which he believes that the depletion of a shared resource by individuals‚ acting independently and rationally according to each person’s self-interest‚ will affect the group’s long-term interests by depleting what is known as the common resource. This article has evoked a lot of strong emotions in myself mostly fear due to what basically Hardin is telling us is the past affects the future

An essay about cycles in biology. Jessie Dean Biological cycles are vital in many aspects of life on earth. From cycles within the body that keep organisms alive such as the cell cycle‚ Krebs cycle and the Calvin cycle to cycles that encompass many aspects of life and our planet such as the Nitrogen and Carbon cycles. The cell cycle involves actively dividing eukaryotic cells passing through a series of stages known collectively as the cell cycle. The two gap phases (G1 and G2) and S (for synthesis)

Carbon is one of the most essential elements in life. Carbon makes up the building block of all living things including proteins‚ lipids‚ nucleic acid and carbohydrates. Carbon also can be found abundantly distributed in a nonliving environment‚ in the atmosphere as Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ natural gas‚ dead organic matter and coal in the ground. Carbon is cycled and maintained a stable concentration in the through the earth’s lithosphere‚ atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ antrosphere and biosphere undergoing

These are the steps of the cycle: 1. Carbon enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide from respiration and combustion. 2. Carbon dioxide is absorbed by producers to make carbohydrates in photosynthesis

Many believe the creation of Yosemite National Park to be formed for about 10‚000 years (1989). Yosemite is a beautiful creation with wonderful geological sites‚ such as Half-Dome‚ Yosemite Valley‚ and all of its waterfalls. The creation of Yosemite and its beautiful landscape‚ as well as the earth‚ is differed in the eyes of evolutionists and creationists since Charles Darwin proposed the theory (Pappas‚ 2014). Some people think the creation of Yosemite is an effect of the Ice Age‚ and others believe
