Compare And Contrast Solar System Model Vs Second Life Model

Decent Essays
In comparison, the solar system model of Bill Nye and of that in the Second Life video, the two differ in one major category: in that Bill Nye's exists in reality and the Second Life exists digitally. Because of that, Nye's model has physical constraints of what it can do, while the Second Life model can do anything the game will allow, such as floating in orbit.

If the number of wolves increased in the simulation, I would hypothesize that since the increase in bunnies did nothing in the end run as the grass completely controlled the population, the same would happen with the wolves, especially since the number of their food, or the bunnies, hasn't changed. Therefore, I predict that the wolves will not only fail to live forever, but will die

    The reason why i chose scenario four is that as a restaurant owner i think that it would be bad to have wolves around and if anything was to happen to the tourist then the park would be at fault to any injury. Scenario four helps to keep any issues with the wolves local and it doesn't involve the federal government. Wolves are a big attraction in yellowstone it would be a great thing that the wolves attracted tourist and being a restaurant owner the business could benefit from the tourism. I feel like the business would attack people as well as wolves the reason why i think that the business could attract wolves is that the wolves could be attracted to the smell of food. People would be worried that they could possibly be attacked by wolves…

    Yellowstone Wolves Around the late 1920’s bounty hunters from the government exterminated the park’s last native wolves as part of a national wolf extermination program to protect the farmer’s livestock. In a exert from an interview Scott said “These animals themselves have not killed livestock, and don't know how” and “ They'll learn how to kill wild prey from these older wolves that we're putting them with” so the wolves have not killed livestock because the will learn how to eat wild prey. I believe the wolves should stay in Yellowstone. I believe the wolves should stay in Yellowstone because they help out the ecosystem. In 1955 when the wolves were reestablished into the park the elk population was around 18,000 .With…

    The first hypothesis stated that if rabbits have brown fur, they will be more likely to survive under food conditions within a cold environment. The data from the experiment disproved the hypothesis. In the controlled version, where the food survival was out of play, there were more white fur rabbits at generations 3 (13 to 5) and 6 (340-150). When the food survival was put into play, there were more white fur rabbits at generations 3 (6-0) and 6 (1-0). While the white fur generation had nearly died out by the sixth generation with only generation, and could have easily died out by the generation after, it still fared better than brown fur bunnies, who died out before the third generation.…

    The Sun King’s Heliocentric Rule When a ruler holds authority that is only second to the divine being themselves, an absolute monarch is born.

Most notably are Louis XIV of France and Peter the Great of Russia during the late 1700s. When examining a ruler’s legacy underneath the premise of absolute monarchy, how nice or how effective of a ruler has no effect.…

    Wolves had been missing in Yellowstone National Park for more than 70 years. As a result, the ecosystem of the Park had completely changed. Without any predator that threatened them, the number of deer had grown overreact, destroying vegetation and forcing other species to look elsewhere in order to survive. In 1995 they decided to reintroduce a small number of wolves. Only with their presence, the wolves managed to recover the entire ecosystem: from bears, foxes, eagles, otters, up to all kinds of animals were benefited by the wolves and recovered their habitat; and not only that, they recovered the lost vegetation, halted the erosion and even changed the course of rivers.…

    Red Wolves, legendary members of the dog family, are very important animals which are a vital part of the food chain and our environment.

    While some let out a breath of relief over the relocation, others complained that the Wolves were too close and could navigate their way into human-inhabited areas. Yellowstone Park was not always a safe haven for the Wolves, back during 1914 up 'till 1926; nearly one hundred and forty Wolves were killed by park rangers through use of poisoned carcasses (Swinburne 11). Sadly, Wolves native to Yellowstone Park are in no better conditions or have any better protection from Hunters or Farmers then the Wolves located outside Yellowstone Park. Since Gray Wolf reintroduction to the ecosystem, there have been numerous changes. A visible increase of Cottonwood, Willow, and Grass regrowth rates has been observed in the areas near known Wolf hunting locations (Smith 119-121).…

    Wolf Reintroduction Essay

    One of the most renowned rewilding projects which has demonstrated the effects rewilding has on a whole ecosystem, was the reintroduction of grey wolves (Canis lupus) into Yellowstone National Park in the North West of the United States. The wolves were reintroduced to the park in 1995-1996 and have subsequently recolonised the whole park and some of the surrounding area known as the greater Yellowstone ecosystem (GYE) (Smith et al., 2003). The reintroduction of the wolves has had a great effect on the ecosystem of Yellowstone; the wolves have greatly reduced the numbers of ungulates, especially Elk which have been found to support the wolf packs almost entirely (Smith et al., 2003). The wolves have also had an effect on many of the other organisms…

    Several decades have passed, and we now know that the reintroduction of the wolves to Yellowstone was an overall success, despite a few mishaps with livestock losses to ranchers and poaching losses to the wolf packs. Over time, the greater fears of the ranchers were proven to be insubstantial, and wolves and humans appear to be living side by side in a guarded sort of harmony. The wolf packs have grown and the…
