Gondwanaland‚ Science 905 Section I In the late nineteenth century‚ on the basis of comparative geological evidence‚ the Austrian geologist‚ Edward Suess‚ founded a theory that a single supercontinent‚ which he called Gondwanaland‚ an ancient landmass that consisted of the present continents of South America‚ Africa‚ Australia‚ and Antarctica as well as the Indian subcontinent. Gondwanaland is believed to have been intact at least twice‚ about 350 million years ago and about 200 million years ago

is low in energy and is small. With constructive waves the swash is stronger than the backwash‚ so more materials such as sand‚ are carried to the beach as deposits. Along with constructive waves building up the beach‚ the process called longshore drift is also involved. Waves usually move towards the beach at an angle and the materials are washed up the beach at the same angle by the swash while the backwash moves straight down the beach. Then the sediments are transported at the beach at an angle

Ecosystem Preservation versus Conservation Earth is composed of many different ecosystems and each one is a "dynamic complex of plant‚ animal‚ and micro-organism communities interacting with the non-living environment as a functional unit" (Protecting Threatened Ecosystems‚ 2004). These ecosystems are an intricate part of the human lifecycle as they provide us with our water‚ food and energy. Since mankind is in a take and take some more relationship with the ecosystems‚ many of them have had their

the defences‚ the rate of erosion of the unprotected cliff to the south has trebled. This is because the groynes have destroyed the balance within the coastal system and have stopped the supply of beach material by cutting off the longshore drift. The narrower beach south of the defences means that waves crash against the cliff foot more often and with more energy. 3.

When opening a business in an international realm‚ one must examine many factors including cultural differences and geographical locations. When opening a business in a foreign nation‚ one must examine the need for the product being offered‚ the acceptance of the product into the culture‚ and the most effective means of advertising.

genetic drift from gene flow in terms of how they occur and their implications for future genetic variation in a population. Genetic drift‚ defined as the process in which chance events cause unpredictable fluctuations in allele frequencies from one generation to the next‚ can increase or decrease variability within particularly small populations. Certain genotype/phenotype frequencies‚ for example‚ may be reduced or completely eliminated through chance events. Examples of genetic drift might include

people walking on dunes and pollution. Although structures such as a groyne is used to help withstand beach erosion it is stopping sand from replenishing beaches further down a coast. This is because it is stopping the sand normally moved by longshore drift. People walking on dunes increases the rate of erosion. This causes the dune to become extremely unstable‚ making it dangerous - especially if there is a big drop. When the dunes are walked on or when the vegetation is destroyed the sand becomes looser
