Tropics

By comparing the data in Table 2 against the graph above, it is discovered that Site 1 is located on the St Mary’s glacial river and feeds onto the meltwater from the St Mary’s glacier. Orthocladius is most abundant between 2 and 4 degrees as well as Microspectra. The first 2 bugs thrive when it is 2 to 4 degrees and they are most rich at site 1. At site 2, Psectrocladius is present between 6 and 8 degrees. Site 2 is situated on St Mary’s River at a height of 1100m and is located approximately…

The Social Space and Mobility of the Freeway In Yamashita’s Tropic of Orange, space is a crucial element to the novel that affects the major characters throughout the plot. Space is constantly changing in the novel, especially with the magic realism in the novel. Social space in particular is a key aspect of the plot and influences the events in the story. In the social space of the freeway in the novel, the freeway offers mobility to each of the characters, however, not all the characters are…

However, it is now concentrated in the developing world, which lost approximately 494 million acres from 1980 to 1995. Many of these forests are in the tropics, mountain regions, or high latitudes, places difficult to exploit before the advent of modern transportation and machines. The problem is especially serious in the tropics because they have high human population growth. For example, fire-related deforestation rose sharply in Indonesia in 1997. Estimates of forests destroyed in 1997…

vitamin D3 synthesis (Murray, 1934). For the humans living inside the tropics pigmentation evolved as an adaption to protect against too much exposure to UVR which is harmful. Loomis (1967) explains how the higher pigmentation is correlated to lower levels of radiation from UV rays. This supports the hypothesis that latitude and location relative to the equator is correlated with skin pigmentation. As people migrated out of the tropics the depigmentation became advantageous for producing vitamin…

combine to form ozone, O3. As this reaction is reliant on solar UV radiation, it is greatest in areas with larger amounts of radiation, the tropics. However, the ozone layers are found to be thicker at higher latitudes rather than at the tropics. Meridional and downward transport of ozone molecules in the stratosphere carries the O3 away from the equator and tropics, towards the poles where it collects to form thicker layers. In the northern hemisphere, the greatest column densities occur during…

Tropical Fruits Tropical fruit is any type of fruit produced in tree that is native to the tropics. The tropics are usually as the region and area of the globe that is between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. Tropical region has unique environmental conditions and therefore creates a habitat that is usually for diverse species of fauna and flora. Many tropical fruits are mostly used and consumed by humans, and certain fruits are widely known where its demands are high. (Site) There…

Usually, animals from the different tropic levels can be found here. The first tropic level consists of primary producers, which is known to be plants. Plants surrounded the lake mostly. For the second tropic level, it consists of primary consumers, known to be herbivores as well. One specific kind of herbivores I observed in the park, like last time was squirrels. The squirrels were continuing to find food for hibernation. In the higher tropic level, most of the species are considered to…

the poles and the richest at low latitudes. This pattern is referred to…as the ‘latitudinal diversity gradient,’ or LDG,” (Kolbert 152). To support and explain this ideal, more 30 theories have been advanced, of one is that more species live in the tropics so they can produce more generation only at lower latitudes with which will create more mutations and higher chance of evolution, development. Kolbert and Silman search the forest, finding various, unique new tree and plant species which is…

Pattern- Malaria Figure 1: global malaria distribution figure 2: global distribution of malaria mosquito Geographic Distribution of Malaria As shown on figure 1, the risk of malaria disease is concentrated between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, such as Sub-Sahara in Africa, north of South America and Southeast of Asia. Malaria is more concentrated here because these areas have similar patterns such breeding of Anopheles mosquito. This is due to the high…
