Haiti Economy Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. World Bank data put Haiti's GDP at just over $11.9 billion in 2011. With a population of 10.12 million people, that translates to a GDP per capita of only $1,179. What little economic resources Haiti has are highly unevenly distributed. The 2010 UNDP HDR…

To start off the exhibit is the Precambrian period. The Precambrian period lasted for 4 billion years. Scientists believe that this period where 90%of earth's history was discovered. Life first started evolving, and progresses and changed the planet. Scientists discovered the truth about organic compounds, the first prokaryotic cells and the first meteorites to hit the earth. Scientists believe that some of these meteorites gave rise to organic compounds, or life's building blocks. The Cambrian…

The Sahel is the hardest part of the Saharan region to live in. Due to the fact that the Sahel faces long term drought and desertification. It is very inadequate, that some countries even have advertisements to persuade their citizens to stop using wood for their homes and to switch to coal. In addition to the drought and desertification, the countries in the Sahel also have marginal land. Marginal land is land that is not suitable for farming. This makes it harder for the population to farm…

This paper will focus on the Patagonian Ice Field and how global warming is affecting the glaciers as well as the affect the glaciers have and will have on the rest of the world. To begin I first must explain what a glacier is. A glacier is an immense field or stream of ice, formed in the region of continual snow, and moving slowly down a mountain slope or valley, as in the Alps, or over a large surface area, as in Greenland. They are formed over many years when snow is incessantly compressed…

sub-tropical, tropical and arid. However, the warm and sunny long summers with mild winters are the most common one, hence the reputation for their plantation systems. In contrast, the Northeast region is about halfway between the North Pole and the equator, cold, harsh winters and lack of fruitful land make it arduous to grow crops and develop agriculture. Instead, the cities in the Northeast develop near rivers and bays and with a variety of waterfalls, the Northeast relies much more on…

tool using the positions of the stars or the Sun. It was formerly used in navigation to help explorers and sailors figure out where they were. The development of the astrolabe allowed sailors to determine how far north or south they were from the equator. A advantage of the astrolabe is that a clear horizon is not needed to use the instrument, which means that a navigator can take measurements at night, or on foggy days when it might be hard to see the horizon. One of these explorers was John…

The story begins with a simple, unnamed man who is going to a wedding before the…

Hello, my name is Samuel the sperm. I will be taking you on a journey today, from how I became a sperm all the way until I make my grand exit. We will start with the process of meiosis, which is how I got to become a spermatozoon. Like any good journey, we have to have a setting. In this instance, we are in the testes, the male reproductive organ that produces sperm. The process of becoming a spermatozoon all starts with a process called interphase. During this time, chromosomal DNA is being…
