Introduction: In every scene of a country’s life‚ there has always been a leader at the forefront of it all. Many countries have flourished under the good leaders while they have been destroyed by the bad ones. However‚ the question that begs to be asked is what is a leader and where are they usually found?

A habitat is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular species of animal‚ plant‚ or other type of organism.[1][2] It is the natural environment in which an organism lives‚ or the physical environment that surrounds a speciespopulation.[3] A habitat is made up of physical factors such as soil‚ moisture‚ range of temperature‚ and availability of light as well as biotic factors such as the availability of food and the presence of predators. A habitat is not necessarily a

There are many different ways that the human species have impacted the biomes‚ such activities like Agriculture‚ Mining‚ Industry‚ Urbanisation and many more. Agriculture impacts the water quality which can modify the nutrient cycle of water and earthly ecosystems. It also changes the land cover‚ which modifies hydrological

Stretches of a river can be different in terms of their processes and landforms. Introduction: My investigation is a study of hydrology‚ as I want to find out how and why a rivers channel‚ flow and valley characteristics change as you move downstream from its upper course to its mouth. These changes are represented in the Bradshaw Model (fig 1)‚ a fluvial model that describes changes in the river channel and flow characteristics between different courses along the river. Based on three factors

The vast array of sea life that the reef biome houses can stand a bit of chill but they cant tolerate it for long periods of time. Normal reef temperatures usually range from 17-34°c. The coral reef biome is one of the most important of all marine biomes. It is home to more than 25% of all known marine wildlife‚ even though it only covers o.o1% of the ocean floor.

River channels show different patterns in its whole stretch of flow which directly correlates to the landform characteristics and varying from straight course typical of mountain streams‚ meandering in midland stretches and braided in the low land reaches (Leopold and Wolman‚ 1957). Variability in channel pattern can be attributed to variation in the landform characteristics and flow dynamics. These can be caused due to geological processes operating in the region‚ which might
