Tropics

grasses being the dominant vegetation. The prevailing weather has distinct seasonal variations between hot summers and cold winters with moderate rainfall. This biome exists north of the Tropic of Cancer and south of the Tropic of Capricorn. Conversely, tropical grasslands grow near the equator between the two tropics. The climate in this location is characterised by seasonal heavy rainfall with a constant temperature all year round. Grassland ecosystems are being altered as a result of human…

that appears in different variety of crops. According to Ogundele and Caxton- Martins," Cassava is the most widely consumed of these plants and it has been associated with economic condition in certain parts of the World; especially the tropics and sub tropics." These plants are called cyanophoric plants because they contain phytotoxins. Cyanide is very highly reaction to alkali earth metal. They mostly reactive to salt such as potassium, sodium, and calcium but are less reactive to copper,…

Many countries have very unique cultures in many different ways such as food,people,clothing, and traditions. Croatia, however is not known for what you predict. Croatia is world-renown in their architecture and art. In Croatia, buildings are considered to be art instead of just regular, everyday structures. Many ancient monuments were built back in 390 BC by the greek artists during the Bronze Age. The structures considered to be the most beautiful were the cathedrals and churches. Many of…

northerns, in congressional debate of 1850, stated they would accepted Cuba into the Union only if that state applied under the Wilmot Proviso, where no new territory or state would incorporate slavery. Douglas wanted to expand to Latin American and other Caribbean/tropical islands in the South, but for what purpose? National pride? Yes, to expand and grow American but at what cost to the American slaves? Northerners became very nervous that Douglas extreme expansionist policies would expand…

heart would give up. This didn’t stop the narrator from having one of the best brothers ever, Doodle. I believe that the symbol from the story “The Scarlet Ibis” that best represents Doodle is the Scarlet Ibis. The first reason is “It lives in the tropics- South America to Florida. A storm must have brought it here” (Hurst 137). In this sentence, they are talking about the Scarlet Ibis they found up in a bleeding tree in their…

A line of large pyramids connect in a line from West on the Tropic of Cancer, to North East crossing the globe. A new theory suggests that the Earth is held together inside by an energy, and it just so happens that the pyramids are located at the points where the energy meets with the Earth's surface. Ancient and…

Coffee Belt contains regions around the middle of the world that have the right conditions needed in order to grow coffee. It is at least 1,000 miles long and runs and is bounded by The Tropic of Cancer and The Tropic of Capricorn. The Tropic of Cancer being the latitude most north from the equator and The Tropic of Capricorn being the latitude most southern from the equator. Soil, climate, and altitude are three factors that each continent differs from causing a different flavoring in the…

Action Story about Humanity to Troubled Love Story? You’ve been stranded on an island in the tropics with a fellow hunter that feels the only quarry worth his skill is human beings and your life is in danger if you do not outwit him. He is the hunter and you are the hunted. This is The Most Dangerous Game, the story Richard Connell brought to life in the short story written in 1924. Similarly, the film produced in Hollywood in 1932 was based on the same plot. However, the two are vastly…

Ibis, and how it represents the way Doodle is out of place. Hurst writes, “"It's a scarlet ibis," he said, pointing to the picture. "It lives in the tropics-South America to Florida. A storm must have brought it here."”(602). Doodle was supposed to die, born sickly and to some disappointing. The Ibis is foreign to the area and is indigenous to the tropics. Similarly to the Ibis, Doodle breaks expectations and survives only to fall to the same fate in the end, death. This…

Germs affected many people. The germs that spread were caused by the geography and how the early Europeans lived their life. Germs affected people in different parts of the world because of imperialism. The factors leading to why diseases were so deadly to some people and not others, including what people have been exposed to and what antibodies the new Europeans and New Guinea people had. How did geography have anything to do with diseases and how did they affected different people across…
