However, the lecturer finds all ideas dubious, and refute them all. First, the author argues that edmontosaurs must have migrated for at least part of the year to the hospitable warm areas in order to find food in that in the winter harsh cold of the arctic region prevents plants to grow; in fact, there might have been shortage of food. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the fact that in the summer the sun radiates for twenty four hours a day that provides hospitable situation for plants…

Canada is located near and on many fault lines. With fault, lines energy builds up and has to be expelled in the form of an earthquake. The regions for seismic activity in Canada are: the Cordillera region, British Columbia, the Arctic and to a smaller extend, and central Quebec. More than 4,000 earthquakes occur in Canada every year. The western regions are the most seismically active region in Canada. More than 100 earthquakes with a magnitude of 5 or more have occured in Canada over the past…

Bacteria A person with a cold can spread the infection by coughing and/or sneezing. Bacteria or viruses can be passed on by touching or shaking hands with another person. Touching food with dirty hands will also allow viruses or bacteria from the intestine to spread. Water bacteria needs water to dissolve the food they use for energy and growth. Energy sources such as sugars, starch, protein, fats and other compounds provide the nutrients. Oxygen some bacteria require oxygen to grow (anaerobes)…

All plastic is oil. Most paints and all pesticides are made from oil. Everything from toothpaste to tooth brushes are made from oil and there are seven gallons of oil in every tire. There is absolutely nothing anywhere in any combination that will replace the assembly built by fossil fuels…..nothing at all.

This research demonstrated the population size and migration time period of when the polar bear and brown bear separated. Making a dependable time frame for when the polar bear emerged as a new species and how fast new adaptations to intense environments can occur in a large mammal. The population genomic formation evaluates the nuclear genomes of polar bear and brown bear populations. By doing so the researchers estimated when polar bears and brown bears diverged. They gather demographic…

The most striking element to me about the Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina is that the elevations of the Patagonia glaciers can reach around 3,000 meters above sea level compared to other glaciers. I can only imagine the great sceneries of the glaciers within this National Park due to this higher elevation. Also, since there are numerous glaciers that melt, two massive lakes called Lake Argentino and Lake Viedma, formed. Perito Moreno Glacier is the biggest and most striking one. The…
