years old (Gemma Black‚ 2010). Some scientists suggest that the arrival of aboriginals 60‚000 years ago is the reason why the megafauna population started declining. Aboriginals hunted megafauna in a 15‚000 year time frame‚ they also changed the vegetation due to the fires they created. The Alcheringa: An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology said natives hunted juvenile megafauna because they were smaller and easier to hunt. However this killed off the next generation of megafauna which in the long

“The environment is being harmed more by human activity than by natural disasters.” Is this true? “I realized that you aren’t actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment‚ but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply‚ and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern

All geographers research about the world or an specific area. They use many types of maps and pictures to serve for their purposes. The maps help them explain and understand accurately about the physical features‚ culture and economies of an area. The physical feature maps show about the features and terrains of an area such as rivers‚ mountains‚ hills‚ deserts and many different elevations. Each physical feature has a symbol to identify it. They also include climate‚ which is the conditions of

The most limited vegetation type is the Remnant Dune which only covers a total of 7 acres and can be located on the southern-most point of the lagoon (Los Penasquitos Vegetation‚ 2012).

How and why do the world’s biomes differ in their biomass production? The definition of biomass is the total quantity or weight of organisms in a given area or volume. Biomass can differ because of many things‚ including temperature‚ rainfall‚ location‚ and altitude. Tundra and Tropical Rainforest are two contrasting biomes‚ different in many ways. First of all‚ location. Tundra is located in the coldest parts of the world‚ like the most northern parts of America (i.e. Alaska)

2a. What abiotic factors might account for any differences between different types of habitats‚ such as disturbed and less disturbed hillsides? Explain. Abiotic factors are non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect ecosystems. These include temperature‚ light (sun exposure)‚ soil composition‚ rocks‚ water‚ air pollution‚ humidity‚ radiation‚ and wind that can influence a species’ ability to survive.
