In the novella Call of the Wild‚ by Jack London the theme of the story is the power of instinct. In the text it states‚ “ The blood-longing became stronger than ever before he was a killer‚ a thing that preyed‚ living on the things that lived‚ unaided‚ alone‚ by virtue of his own strength.” (London‚ page 48). This shows that Buck is Starting to use his domesticity and wild instinct while in the forest. Buck is starting to hunt his own food and only eat the food he has hunted. Additionally‚ Buck

More like rolling hills than snow-covered mountains‚ the Western Ghats - stretching some 1‚600km from the north of Mumbai to the southern tip of India - is a biodiversity hotspot that contains a large proportion of the country’s plant and animal species; many of which are only found here and nowhere else in the world. As gandhiji said-“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs‚ but not every man’s greed.” The Western Ghats were once covered in dense forests. Today‚ a large part of the

Threats to Biodiversity: Habitat loss is mainly due to human population growth‚ industrialization and changes in the land use patterns‚ poaching of wild life and man wildlife conflicts. Man has begin to overuse or misuse most of these natural ecosystems. Due to unsustainable resource-use‚ once productive forests and grasslands have been turned into deserts and wastelands have increased all over world. Scientists have estimated that human activities are likely to eliminate approximately 10 million

Conservation of matter and energy Introduction to conservation of matter and energy The conservation of matter and energy means that the total amount of energy and the total amount of matter is always constant in a given closed‚ isolated system. In other words‚ neither energy nor mass can be created or destroyed in any physical or chemical process. Formation of the law of conservation of matter and energy Until the discovery of mass - energy equivalence by Albert Einstein in 1905‚ conservation

Lab 5 Conservation of Momentum and Energy Abstract The physics laws governing conservation of momentum and mechanical energy were investigated by performing multiple experiments with differing conditions. Conservation laws state energy is to be conserved in systems with no net external forces. Two trials consisted of inelastic collisions and two trials consisted of elastic conditions. Photogate software helped decipher initial and final velocities in order
