From Water to Land (Revision) Abstract: The early tetrapods were the first vertebrates to actually walk the solid earth. They began their conquest of land in the Paleozoic era around 360 million years ago. The question many paleontologists have been asking for a long period of time is whether the anatomy for locomotion on land was developed in water for swimming purposes‚ or if it was adapted after the creatures became terrestrial. Recent findings of fossils indicate that the transformations

rehabilitate degraded areas. The increase in the size of the population can influence land rehabilitation practices either positively or negatively depending on the issue whether it has led to intensive or extensive agricultural practices in the area. As it can be understood from Table 13‚ 68.2% of the respondents replied that increase in size of population in a given area result in decrease in the involvement of the society on land management practices. While 27.4% of the respondents indicated that with the

the natural flora of the land. Some of these lands might originally be rich in biodiversity‚ yet as these lands are being populated by more people‚ the productive vegetation is destroyed. Also‚ as the global demand for natural resources increase‚ people go to the Himalayan Foothills to search for these rich resources‚ therefore destroying the vegetation along the way. The increasing population in this hotspot has made the land become deforested for cultivation and land use by extensive logging

my experiences oral traditions. Coincidently‚ I believe that land based model’s of education work to install oral practices within children and encourage traditional land based relationships. The ability to learn without restrictions also assists in the aid of children learning how to listen and interpret what they hear without having to be guided to a set conclusion or meaning behind the story‚ rather they can relate it to what the land and their teachers have taught them and grow from that point

Evolution of land animals THE LARGEST genetic study ever performed to learn when land plants and fungi first appeared on the Earth has revealed a plausible biological cause for two major climate events: the Snowball Earth eras‚ when ice periodically covered the globe‚ and the era called the Cambrian Explosion‚ which produced the first fossils of almost all major categories of animals living today. According to the authors of the study‚ Science‚ plants paved the way for the evolution of land animals

Land Law Leases 1. Introduction Leases in general may be the most valuable category of interest in land other than freehold estate. A lease may also constitute a legal estate. In some cases‚ such as flats‚ it may even replace freehold as the operational form of “ownership”. On the other hand‚ a lease is also a contract between two parties. It serves important social functions‚ sometimes much more than land ownership‚ and therefore has been receiving unyielding attention from the legislature

The multiple nuclei model is also known as Harris and Ullman Multiple Nuclei Model. As shown in Figure 1‚ this model suggests that the land use pattern is built not around a single centre 13 but around several discrete nuclei. On that note‚ smaller business district acts as satellite nodes‚ or nuclei‚ of activity around which land use pattern formed. This model based on the notion that central business district (CBD) was losing its dominate and primacy as the nucleus of urban areas. However‚ it differed

Aldo Leopold Aldo Leopold wrote in a way that inspired and promoted the conservation of natural ecosystems on this earth. Take the following excerpt for example: We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then‚ and have known ever since‚ that there was something new to me in those eyes - something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then‚ and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer‚ that
