INDIA PHYSICAL FEATURES Geographical Set Up: India takes its standard time from the meridian of 82 30 E‚ which is 5 ½ hours ahead of Greenwich Mean time ( 0 longitude).Pakistan time is 5 hours ahead of GMT and Bangladesh time is 6 hours ahead of GMT. Significance of Location: Barring the plateau of Baluchistan (which form part of Pakistan)‚ the two great ranges of Sulaiman and Kirthar cut it off from the west. Along the north‚ the great mountain wall formed by the Hindukush‚ Karakoram and

Kayli Jade Gertsen Skin Evolution Essay Human skin pigmentation is the product of two clines produced by natural selection to adjust levels of constitutive pigmentation to levels of UV radiation (UVR). One cline was generated by high UVR near the equator and led to the evolution of dark‚ photo protective‚ melanin-rich pigmentation. The other was produced by the requirement for UVB photons to sustain cutaneous photosynthesis of vitamin D3 in low-UVB environments‚ and resulted in the evolution of pigmented

British Colombia‚ Canada‚ may not seem like much to the untrained eye‚ but to Charles Doolittle Walcott and other paleontologists‚ it is a treasure trove of thousands of uniquely preserved fossils. Millions of years ago‚ North America rested on the equator. Earth was still too young for terrestrial plants and animals to inhabit the hostile land; instead‚ they dwelled in the sea where a vast array of organisms thrived. The fossil records beautifully preserved in the shale rock‚ tell the story of the

Introduction Franklinian basin is one of the oldest basins in North America. It is a passive margin basin in arctic Canada that extends from northeast Canada to North Greenland (Ineson‚ 1988). The origin of Franklinian basin has not been extensively studied‚ but some authors (Miall & Blakey‚ 2008; Henriksen & Higgins‚ 1998) suggested a late Precambrian origin which began with the rifting of Rodinia (a supercontinent) about 700 Ma. Since the rifting of the Rodinia‚ Franklinian basin has undergone

1 Title: The Marine Biome #2 Biome Description and Definition The Marine Biome is made of all the oceans in the world. It holds many diverse species in animals and plants and since it is so enormous‚ there is some species that have not been discovered yet. The ocean is a mysterious thing because it is different in each part of the world‚ the climate depends on the location and the location depends on what species are located in that part. Australia is home to the coral reef‚ where today it is

the earth rotates in the opposite direction to that of today‚ with the aid of diagrams‚ describe the likely characteristics of the global atmospheric circulations. The sun heats the atmosphere more at the equator than it does at the poles. There would initially be a surplus of heat at the equator and a deficit at the poles which would be evenly distributed through oceans and the atmospheric circulation such as in Figure 1. This is due to the density differences between air masses because of the uneven

In this essay I will discuss the adaptations on human evolution‚ this includes skin color‚ disease‚ Lactase Persistence‚ and the negative effects of the Neolithic Revolution. I will focus mostly on the diseased portion the most because this plays a vital role in natural selection. Natural selection is the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring (dictionary.com). Without disease natural selection would play less of a part in how species

Last Tuesday‚ we took a trip to Huntington Beach and observed the ocean‚ sand‚ waves‚ tides‚ life on shore‚ wind‚ currents‚ sea bedding‚ sediments‚ and the fully developed sea. It was around 4 PM when we arrived at the beach‚ and it was about 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The coastline of the shore is a curve that faces southwest. Winds are disturbing forces that move the waves‚ and they generate every time there is a density boundary. The cool winds were coming very strong from the West at 251° that it

Reading Assignment #1: Vector Analysis Textbook Sections that I read: 2.1-3 Important Concepts: An interaction between two objects can be described and measured in terms of two forces. The force is a push or either a pull. There are two types of forces. #1 is a long range force and this force does not require the objects involved to be touching each other. An example of this is when you are holding a magnet away from a refrigerator and you are able to feel the magnetic pull. #2 is a contact force
