Essays on Continents

Continental drift is the theory which proposes that the world was originally made up of a single continent. With the passage of time, this continent was broken up, and it drifted apart to form the seven continents that are present today. It was proposed by Alfred Wegener whose hypothesis stands that the continents are made up of rocks that rest on the heavier weighing rocks on the crust, and this is a movement that is mimicked by icebergs on water. The continents move rigidly. Plate tectonics theory proposes that the Earth’s surface is actually broken up into a ...

The theory of continental drift assumes that the earth is composed of one continent for billions of years. It slowly drifted apart to form the seven continents which could be recognized in the modern times. The drifting of the continents is mainly due to the lighter rocks at the surface which is influenced or moved by the heavier rocks beneath. On the other hand, the plate-tectonics theory assumes that the earth is composed of plates or slabs which are shifting or moving away or towards each other. The movements of the plate depend on the condition and chemistry of ...

In any type of company, one of the significant challenges for leadership is connecting industry knowledge and business analytics. Bartlett (2013) observes that these two components serve as the primary sources of information for decision makers. Managers generally hold much insight and wisdom in their accumulated experience, but unfortunately, any gaps in the facts are commonly filled with opinions (Bartlett, 2013). Instead of relying on subjective sources, leaders can utilize business analytics to validate new ideas and test industry beliefs (Bartlett, 2013). A starting point for effective business analytics is to recognize that data and information are not ends ...

Introduction

In the past, humans practiced hunting and gathering as a way of finding food. They would hunt down animals for food and feed the different communities. Over time, as the human population grew.

The natural selection theory is also referred to as the Darwinian Theory and is found in his book the Origin of Species which was published for the first time in 1859 . The Darwinian Theory has always been considered controversial due to the lack of background material to offer inheritance. Darwin makes the theory based on his personal observations of the fauna and the flora. Darwin’s ideas tend to focus on the end product and not on the process that leads to the existence of the end product. The theory was first introduced by Darwin in the 1850’s ...

Describe how Spain, England, France and Dutch’s different economies-along with their justification for expansion-shape their settlements in North America –

The colonization of North America revolves around the need for Spain, England, and Spain to conquer and control the continent. The French and the Spaniards governed through autocratic sovereigns while the English were free to govern themselves as much as they followed the English law. The biggest advantage, therefore, for the English to expand into North America was that they allowed immigration which enabled them to boost their colonial population that helped them to participate more actively and on a wide scale in agricultural activities. The English colonies were established by a royal charter and settled first in Massachusetts ...

Introduction

As known in all contexts, Europe is a relatively small continent which is located in between the Asian and African continents. However, despite the proximity of the two continents, Europe is able to establish its own culture and becomes distinct with a pronounced uniqueness.

Though Europe is relatively small, several countries are bounded and these boundaries are important for analyzing the geography of the continent. Looking at the physical and political maps of Europe, this paper aims to analyze the ...

A multinational company may also be defined as an entity whose assets, sales or total operations are apportioned and deployed in various foreign locations. (Martineau, 2000, P.6) Examples of multinational companies include Diageo Plc, which is ...

The continental landscape features are reflected with analogous features on the ocean basins. Plains, Plateaus, volcanic cones, rolling hills, mountains, and valleys are found underwater in the oceans just like on land.

There is a relationship between volcanic eruption and the climate of a place. After the eruption, the poisonous sulphur dioxide which is emitted out as a volcanic product, reacts and get oxidized to form sulphate aerosols in the stratosphere, hence affecting the climate adversely (Forster 2007). Volcanic ashes and particles having diameter larger than 2 um also affects the atmosphere. According to Ramaswamy (1996), ozone depletion results when the volcanic aerosols react with the balanced chemistry in the stratosphere. Mid and high latitudes volcanic eruptions create drastic climatic changes. The aerosols here retain over the hemisphere and cause climate to change. For ...

The results can easily be affected by external contamination as well, which requires the research to be conducted within specialized laboratories by trained laboratory personnel (Arandjelovic, Guschanski, Schubert, Harris, Thalmann, Siedel, & Vigilant, 2009). DNA analysis has been ...

Certain elements involved in the geochemical and biogeochemical cycling are of great concern due to their limited availability both naturally or through industrial manufacture of the compounds involved in the cycles. Some of the processes involved are chemical reactions with other elements or substances. Some of these reactions are irreversible chemical reactions. This implies once the reaction has taken place, the elements are removed from natural cycle and they cannot be replaced again. As such, the more the cases of irreversible reactions, the greater the rate of reduction of these elements from the environment. Ultimately, there could be less ...

1. How do continents grow and how are they modified Continents arise due to movement of plates causing boundaries within the earth surface. Plates move through the oceanic crust along narrow zones between each other leading to the development of plate-tectonic forces. As a result, this forces leads to development of boundaries between the plates. This plates becomes the continents. Generally, continents arise because of continental drift that forces a single land mass on the earth surface to split and drift hence forming a continent. Their modification arises due to various plate boundaries that develop within the earth surface. These boundaries ...

Question 1 In defense of his statement, Diamond says that the location in which a particular culture took as a settlement area led to their ability to progress. The key things that defined the growth of a culture were animal domestication and agriculture. Apart from that, the ability of a community to come up with ways to have significant health traits, such as developing immunity vaccines, is significant. In short, the reason America and Europe progressed is due to the lack of some of the key features. It led them to travel far in search of them. Through the travels, they got ...

Many people hold the notion that race is a way of creating divisions among people. This form of racial construction is based on the assumption that there are differences between different groups of human beings identifiable by their physical features. But to some degree, this does not encompass a biological or genetic; race is limited to some constructed ideologies that are bases for political, cultural and economic concepts. It can never be a biological or genetic concept because there are no concrete facts that back the biological theory. Going by previous research and theories, all human beings subscribe to a common ancestry, and ...

After all, Charles Darwin wrote his groundbreaking work On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection was published in 1859. Since its publication many other scientific discoveries have been made to support Darwin’s dangerous idea. Evolution should not be a controversial issue and sadly it remains so even in the most educated countries of the world. Part of the controversy could be because many people who oppose evolution have no idea what evolution is. ...
