In 1864, after the Civil War, the composition of the Indian penny changed again - 95% copper and 5% zinc and tin. “The Coinage Act of 1864” was passed which made the penny legal currency. The penny’s composition (95% copper and 5% zinc) remained the same for over forty years, with the exception of 1943 the penny’s composition was zinc - coated steel due to the use of copper for the war effort. In 1909, Abraham Lincoln was the first historical figure on a U.S. coin.

(My calculator doesn’t go that far, ha.) Cost of Hard Drive Space per GB: In 1980, the price per GB was roughly $100,000. Today, it would not even cost a dollar. Based on the chart above, the space per unit cost has roughly double every 14 months. ”Several terabyte+ drives have recently broken the $0.10/gigabyte barrier, making the next milestone $0.01/gigabyte, or $10/terabyte.” (Komorowski, 2009) With Moore’s law in effect, I believe we will see a 100 TB hard drive within the next twenty years.

Explain. Beak depth Gizmo Warm-up Darwin’s finches are one of many types of animals on the Galápagos Islands that have unique adaptations, or traits that help an organism survive in its environment. The Rainfall and Bird Beaks Gizmo™ allows you to explore how rainfall influences the range of beak shapes found in a single finch species. 1. The beak depth of a finch is the distance from the top of the beak to the bottom, as shown.
A year after 2006, the DST schedule was changed to start from the second Sunday of March all the way through the first Sunday in the month of November. People insist that there are upsides and downsides to DST. According to timetemperature.com, we will possibly save 100,000 barrels of oil daily during the period of time of DST,
In 2013 AD, CO2 in the atmosphere is 396 ppm. 1. What was the percent of atmospheric CO2 in 1850? Move the decimal place 4 digits to the left to get percent (%) 2. Hopefully you will live until the end of this century - 2100; what will be the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere in 2100 assuming there is no change in the emissions rate of 2 ppm/year?

Chapter 13 Learning Objectives Define Adaptations Something, such as a device or mechanism, that is changed or changes so as to become suitable to a new or special application or situation. Evolution Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species. Fossils are any preserved remains or imprints of living organisms (usually ancient animals and plants), such as bones, shells, footprints, or leaf impressions.

Sea level has been rising for the last century at a rate of 1-5 mm/year (depending on location). The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has maintained a project, called SeaFrame for over 30 years, which has recorded tidal rise and fall over a number of South Pacific islands, including Kiribati, which shows sea level changes of this size. Several islands show sea level falls of 1-2 mm/year. The measuring stations have instrumentation to monitor shifts in location and elevation which are used to correct the tidal measurements. Low-lying islands are vulnerable to storm and wind effects, but are not in danger of inundation caused by sea-level increase in the foreseeable
