As a matter of fact, Santo Domingo was the third settlement on the island of Hispaniola. The first was Navidad, where about forty of Christopher Columbus’ sailors were left behind after one of the ships sank on his first voyage. Navidad was later destroyed by the unpleased indigenous Taino Indians. The settlement of Isabela was founded following Columbus’ second voyage. The environment at Isabela was not conducive to a successful and productive settlement, therefore Bartholomew Columbus decided to relocate the settlers to present-day Santo Domingo.

After helping suppress a native Caribbean uprising on Hispaniola, in 1504 Ponce de Leon was granted provincial governor of the eastern part of the country,…

    “This time he had an army with him, seventeen vessels and approximately fifteen hundred men.” Christopher Columbus would again sail west, looking to further chart and plot what he believed were islands off the coast of China. Upon returning to the settlement he left on Hispaniola, Columbus found the settlement was destroyed, and the men he left there were dead, this infuriated Columbus.

    Primary Source 4 Analysis

    Schultz ”Columbus and his crew sighted land in the present-day Bahamas. As we seen source one it does not give the complete information of where Columbus exactly landed, but it does describe what they saw for example “the crew of the Pinta saw a cane and a log, The crew of the Nina saw other signs of land, and a stalk loaded with rose berries”. This helps us picture how it looked when Columbus arrived to the Bahamas. Equally important is HIST4 stated “ Columbus returned to Spain shortly thereafter, bringing some treasures and, more importantly, tales of the possible riches via the western route”. HIST4 only informs us that Columbus brought information to the Spanish, but it does not elucidate as primary source two does. According to Christopher Columbus, letter to “Luis de Santangel” (1493) “the people of this island, and all of the others that I have found and seen, or not seen, all go naked men and women” here we learned that the Indians were ignorant, they did not know the importance of…

    However, there is a point in the graph that slightly deviates above the line of best fit. This may be because of some water leaving from the 3-neck round bottom flask as steam, when different volumes of salicylic acid solution were being pipetted out. This increased the concentration of salicylic acid in that flask, and the value of A obtained would thus be slightly higher than expected.…

    In ecology, predation describes a biological interactions[->0] where a predator (an organism that is hunting) feeds on its prey (the organism that is attacked). Predators may or may not kill their prey prior to feeding[->1] on them, but the act of predation always results in the death of its prey and the eventual absorption of the prey's tissue through consumption.[2] Other categories of consumption[->2] are herbivory[->3] (eating parts of plants) and detritivory[->4], the consumption of dead organic material (detritus[->5]). All these consumption categories fall under the rubric of consumer-resource systems[->6].[3] It can often be difficult to separate our various types of feeding behaviors[->7]. For example, parasitic species prey on a host organism and then lay their eggs on it for their offspring to feed on it while it continues to live or on its decaying corpse after it has died. The key characteristic of predation however is the predator's direct impact on the prey population. On the other hand, detritivores simply eat dead organic material arising from the decay of dead individuals and have no direct impact on the "donor" organism(s).…
