Continent

The continent of Antarctica has been set aside as a preserve in 1959. Since then, many people have argued over whether or not to explore the continent or leave it be. The stories, “The Last Wilderness Preserve” and “A New Land of Opportunity” both have contrasting ideas about Antarctica. The first passage provides the argument of how people do not belong on the continent while the other explains the complete opposite. The first passage, “The Last Wilderness Preserve” explains how humans should…

In this study continents will be used to compare the railroad industries for two reasons. First, America cannot be compared to one single country in Europe because America is a union of fifty states. Germany for example encompasses 357,168 square kilometers (sq km) with…

theory, Kious, W. J., & Tilling (1996). The theory was based on stunning observations that the African continent makes a perfect fit with the South American. It had also been observed that the similar animal and plant fossils had been found in the adjacent African and South American coasts. Given the extensive Atlantic Ocean between the continents, it was then plausible to reason the continents were once connected; rather than the animals and plant species being transported across the ocean.…

differently or not at all would completely adjust the world and species we see today dramatically! Evolution is a cause and effect processed which adjusts based off of genetic fitness needs and the ability to adapt and survive in a geological area. As the continents move and break apart this causes the climate to adjust the area affecting how a lineage of species will evolve or not leading to adaption or extinction. In my Pangea theory, it would have broken into two large land masses (possibly…

when Africans thought that the tight hold on their continent was the worst to be faced, their resources were starting to be stolen by America and Europe. A ‘White Man’s Burden’ has also affected Africa in both times of colonization and in present day. In a novel by Joseph Conrad, he speaks of how the continent charmed him like a snake, and the Europeans seemed to have charmed- or at least attempted to charm- the Africans to gain hold of their continent. European colonists…

European powers would go on to dominate the continent for years to come, and leave debilitating effects on the continent that still last to today. The time before 1884, European powers colonized only 10% of the African continent. However, this all changed after King Leopold II of Belgium annexed the Congo as his own estate. This led to the European powers of Britain, France, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Spain scrambling for territory in the continent. To prevent the powers from…

When you look at a globe of the earth it is easy to think that the earth has always been this way that the continents and the ocean basins have always been where they are now and they will always be. But if you examine the globe closely you may notice something curious. Some of the continents appear as if they have been joined at one time. A good example of this are the coast lines of South America and Africa. When you compare them with just a little bit of adjustment that they match quite…

America has been a continent found in 1492 by Christopher Columbus. When the discovery of America occurred three intercultural continents were able to interact with each other. Three distinctive cultures—Native American, European, and African—influenced and shaped the environment in a fascinating part of America.These continents joined together to become stronger and soon be interdependent. Europe, America and Africa are three continent that were able to unite and differ politically, socially…

of the experience. “The media depiction of Africa in the media defines how people who migrated from Africa lead their lives in the western world.” Remi Adekoya writes, “Africans, especially those living abroad, fret about the perception of their continent and its inhabitants because their future often depends on the opinions of those in whose country they reside.” The negative media influence is so immense that people find it surprising to meet a fluent English speaking person let alone a…

to get and discover more resources and they were exploring and taking the people from Africa to make them slaves. the people who were exploring the ocean and trying to govern the continents in parts so that each one was a governor of that country or continent and in the search they came across Africa in that continent they found some resources…
