The concept of site includes the set of biotic and abiotic factors that influence tree growth. Teak is native to regions of South Asia with a monsoon climate. It develops on fertile soils of alluvial‚ limestone‚ and basalt origin (Kaosa-ard.‚ 1989). Teak has been planted in a large variety of site conditions inside and outside of its native area across the tropics‚ including extremes of climate and soil conditions. Complex relationships between climate and soils (soil

CONSERVATIVE PLATE MARGINS (TRANSFORM FAULTS): When two plates slide past each other they create a conservative plate margin. The relative movement is horizontal‚ and classified as either sinistral (moving to the left) or dextral (moving to the right). Along these margins crust (lithosphere) is not being destroyed by subduction‚ neither is it being created. There is no melting of rock‚ and‚ therefore‚ no volcanic activity or formation of new crust. Despite the absence of volcanic activity‚ these

1. Explain the difference between a “reserve” and a “resource”. What factors influence estimates of reserves and resources for commodities such as minerals or fossil fuels? Resources and reserves are similar in that the both benefit humanity. Resources are materials that can be used to satisfy human needs‚ or used as support. Reserves on the other hand are known deposits with the ability to extract the available material economically; the size of these reserves is not always known or defined
