covered with lots of rolling grassland with several isolated trees and shrubs. You can also call the Savanna Tropical grassland. This Biome could be found between or around a tropical rainforest and a Desert. You can find them on both sides of the equator near Tropical Rainforest. The temperatures and seasons in a Savanna are very funny. The temperature mainly is kind of warm all year. There are two different seasons in a Savanna. When its winter it’s a very long and dry season but when it’s the…

GEOLOGIC SETTING AT OUTCROP The rocks of the Wilberns Formation have a very involved history. Today, the Wilberns outcrops are found in the Llano uplift region of central Texas, the most prolific Wilberns outcrops are to the west of the Llano uplift area (Bell and Barnes, 1972, p. 28). The Llano uplift area is a geologically complex region of central Texas (fig. 3). Precambrian metamorphic and plutonic igneous rocks mostly dominate the Llano region. The uplift brought Cambrian Wilberns rocks to…

Dustin Smalley Biology 257 May 4, 2016 Multiple Sclerosis What is Multiple Sclerosis? Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective myelin coating on the nerves causing communication issues within the brain and body. It’s not contagious, but it effects approximately 2.3 million people around the world, usually between the ages of 20 and 50 years. There are different types of MS and a very broad range and severity of…

Shark bay research A bit about shark bay: Shark bay lies on the extreme western coast of Australia between 24 and 27 degrees south of the equator. Shark Bay comprises two large, shallow embayment, numerous islands and a coastline, which is 1500km long. Part 1: Ecosystem description a) Shark bay is a heavily marine based environment that covers 2.2 million hectares and has a coastline of more than 1,500 km long. Shark bay has a very diverse ecosystem but is mostly steered by aquatic abiotic…

People who live closer to the equator are less likely to get MS compared to people who live at further distances from the equator. An explanation for this is that sunlight is rich in Vitamin D and there is more sunlight near the equator, compared to areas further away from the equator. This research implies that lack of Vitamin D may be responsible for the onset of MS. If a person is deficient in Vitamin…

Chapter One I was born on December 21, 1992, However, that is not the beginning of my story. My family history began far before 1992 in a small town called Holyoke Massachusetts in the year 1936.

My grandmother was a first generation American her parents had emigrated from Poland in the early 1900 's, they wanted a better life and at that time, there were rumors of World War II…

The stages of human development can be culturally defined in addition to biologically defined. The biological stages describe when things grown in develop in a human throughout their life span. These stages are for the most part clear and stay pretty true to the ages in when things happen. However in different cultures, they will care for their children in different ways. In different cultures, they experience different upbringings; doing certain things differently because of the way their…

Weather is something that the world faces on a daily basis. The art of weather forecasting began with early civilizations using reoccurring astronomical and meteorological events to help them monitor seasonal changes in the weather (Griffin, 2005). During the 1800s, weather observations began to grow and expand across the United States (Uccellini, 2015). During the 19th century weather observations from distant points could be rapidly collected and analyzed at one location (Uccellini, 2015). The…

deforestation. I also will talk about the organisms such as plants and animals that are in Tropical Rainforest. The climate will be a big part in this essay also. Here is my essay on the Tropical Rainforest. The Tropical Rainforest is close to the equator and it makes up six percent of the earth's land surface.The rainforest is made up of four layers the emergent, the upper canopy, the understory, and the forest floor. It gets up to an average of 50 to 260 inches of rain…
