August 8‚ 2013 Peopling of the Earth The earliest full human species known today lived in East Africa about 2.5 million years ago. Early humans survived by hunting and gathering. With an economy based on hunting and gathering‚ there is a great deal of space needed for just a small community. Before migrating majorly‚ they migrated to the Levant‚ in about 25‚000 years ago a global freeze happened and it wiped them out completely. They would then later end up migrating to the Middle East from Africa

Atmosphere Homework Describe the composition of the air Air is a mixture of gases and aerosols that compose the atmosphere surrounding Earth. The primary gases of air include nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). Trace gases and aerosols make up the remaining 1% of air. The trace gases include the noble gases argon‚ neon‚ helium‚ krypton and xenon‚ hydrogen and the greenhouse gases. The aerosols are solid or liquid particles having diameters in the region of 0.001 to 10 microns‚ and include dust

Earth Summit International meetings aiming at drawing up measures for the environmental protection of the world. The first summit took place in Rio de Janeiro‚ Brazil‚ in June 1992. Treaties were made to combat global warming and protect biodiversity (the latter was not signed by the USA). The second Earth Summit was held in New York in June 1997 to review progress. The meeting agreed to work towards a global forest convention with the aim of halting the destruction of tropical and old-growth forests

Packed with rich biodiversity‚ streams and rivers. Have you seen this place before? Maybe yes‚ but for how long? How much it matter to us if it is lost? What can we do to save them? Those are questions that that will hopefully strike our nerves. In this new millennium‚ many changes have occurred that altered the condition of the nature

There are many different layers within the Earth. The core is at center of the Earth. The Earth’s core takes up sixteen percent of Earth’s volume‚ containing thirty-three percent of its Mass ..Pressure rises steadily inside the earth because of the weight of overlying rock. Therefore ‚the Pressure at the outer boundary of the core reaches 1.37 million atmospheres‚ 3.7 million Atmospheres. The core is made mostly of iron and nickel and possibly smaller amounts of lighter elements including sulfur

soil will vary geographically and at different soil depths. Moisture content changes seasonally‚ varies according to the nature of the sub layers of earth‚ and the depth of the permanent water table. Since soil and water are generally more stable at deeper strata‚ it is recommended that the ground rods be placed as deep as possible into the earth‚ at the water table if possible. Also‚ ground rods should be installed where there is a stable temperature‚ i.e. below the frost line. For a grounding

At the core-mantle boundary‚ composition changes. Seismic waves suggest this material is of a very high density (10-13 g/cm3)‚ which can only correspond to a configuration of metals rather than rock. The presence of a magnetic field around the earth also indicates a molten metallic core. Unlike the crust and the mantle‚ we don’t have any samples

Earth in Danger Nobody can negate that a lot of phenomena has been changed in our world recently while wondering the reason of these changes. One of the main reason for a lot of change in our life is the rapped raise on temperature which is called global warming. Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century‚ Earth’s mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8
