| Lithosphere | Ecology (NASC 1093) | | The Lithosphere * The lithosphere is the hard shell of the Earth‚ consisting of the crust and the topmost part of the upper mantle. * It is a relatively thin layer‚ about 31 to 62 miles (50 to 100 km) thick under the oceans and 93 miles (150 km) thick on the continents. * It contains the minerals‚ rocks and soils that humans have used for building materials‚ metals and agriculture. * This layer is composed of the upper crust‚ about 3 miles

Q1: It has been said that within the next few years‚ smartphones will become the single most important digital device we own. Discuss the implications of this statement. A smartphone is a mobile phone that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary basic feature phone A smartphone can be considered as a Personal Pocket Computer (PPC) with mobile phone functions‚ because these devices are mainly computers‚ although much smaller than a desktop computer.

Declining Biodiversity Deanna Garrett ENV495 Jeanne Lambert May 6‚ 2013 Declining Biodiversity Biodiversity is important in ecosystems because every life form works together in order for them to function. When these ecosystems are disrupted or altered‚ or even lacks biodiversity‚ it poses major threats to all the life forms in it‚ whether it happens quickly or over a long period of time. These threats include atmospheric pollution‚ weather catastrophe‚ climate changes‚ or even man-made

streaming which would be a little stronger coming from a wired network. New security has been configured also and would make it hard to access as it would have to be in a certain operating distance. In doing my research I came across a variety of hotspots. These hotspots are businesses that will offer wireless internet access to its customers. Some of these businesses will offer this access free while you are in their establishment others will offer a paid service fee for the privilege to access the internet

“EVALUATE HOW PLATE TECTONICS THEORY HELPS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE DISTRIBUTON OF SEISMIC AND VOLCANIC EVENTS” In this essay I am going to look in detail at plate tectonic theory and how it can be used to explain seismic and volcanic events worldwide. However‚ I will also look at other potential causes of these events‚ and some evidence that does not follow the theory that all these events are caused by plate boundaries. I am going to look at a range of case studies from differing scales

resources that we implement. Different firewall policies can be configured for the WAN‚ LAN and VLANs that we may implement. This is important as different user groups will need different types of access to the WAN. For example: the public wireless hotspot will need much more protection than the operations side in respect to what they can and cannot access. The Cisco IOS firewall also protects SIP which is the voice protocol. This is very important for our future voip needs. Wireless LAN: Lan will

disadvantages too. In many countries‚ particularly those in the under developed world‚ tourism has led to the establishment of some morally questionable practices. For example‚ many tourist hotspots in Asia and Latin America are now synonymous with prostitution and illegal gambling. Tourist hotspots are also plagued by problems like theft‚ maimed begging and drug abuse. However‚ these disadvantages are nothing compared to the advantages and it doesn’t take a lot of efforts to see that

How does the theory of plate tectonics help to explain the world distribution of earthquake and volcanic zones? The Earth’s crust is made up of seven major plates and several smaller plates. These plates drift on top of the mantle. When two plates meet‚ they can either be constructive‚ destructive or conservative. At a conservative plate margin‚ one plate moves past another. As the plates are not smooth‚ great amounts of tension build up and earthquakes are made when the tension is released
