Jared says, "People around the world who had access to the most productive crops becomes the most productive farmers". As the fertile crescent brought many great crops and animals that spread and Europeans people were able to gain access much earlier then other civilizations. In the first video Jared states
Tourism was also increasing so that a promenade and other tourist attractions were built. By the end of the Victorian era, the population was 47000 and during the mid-1900’s it had grown to approximately 147,000 and was one of the most famous British Seaside resorts; the most popular style of holiday at that point in time. However, during the late 20th Century there has been a decrease in tourism numbers and Seaside holidays have become decreasingly popular as a result of cheaper international fights and change of tastes although it still attracts millions of visitors per year as a result of its iconic attractions such as the Blackpool Tower, the Blackpool Illuminations and it’s Tramway; the UK’s only surviving 1st generation tramway. Over the last 300 years, Blackpool has
The melting of glaciers can, and is, having a disastrous impact on human societies across the globe. Up to this point, our actions have been driven by purely economic interest, but will this always be the case? Text Structure: The primary structure of the text is that of Comparison. Signals That Lead the Reader: No, the writer does not use subheadings. The Author frequently uses transitional words and phrases dealing with TIME and PLACE.
Easy jet is the largest air line in terms of passengers volume – ‘59 million’ (Easy Jet corporate media file, p.3) in UK and internationally across 30 countries with flight scheduled services of ‘600 routes’ as well as the fourth largest short-haul carrier in Europe with a market share of ‘8%’ (Easy jet annual report, 2012, p.12). In order to promote efficient service to customers, they introduce speed boarding that gives passenger’s greater choice over their seat arrangements. Furthermore, the volumes of passenger’s turnover have increased their financial performance to ‘£317 million’ (p.9) profit before tax and after tax of ‘£255 million’ (p.19).

Thus, stopping commercial expeditions may in fact make summiting Everest less feasible and more dangerous, as professionals will no longer have paying clients. Some might maintain that commercial expeditions above 8000 metres should be prohibited because they are unsafe. Document A, for example, points out that many inexperienced, physically unfit and inadequately equipped individuals are attempting to summit Everest. This, however, merely demonstrates that better preparation, professional assistance and safety measures need to be implemented, and does not necessarily mean that commercial expeditions should be stopped altogether. For example, the ability of individuals to endure the ‘death zone’ could be assessed so that only those deemed capable could continue.
Physical factors are natural things such as mountains and rock type that also affect how some things work, again in this case the rivers discharge. Some would argue that physical factors are more important than human factors when affecting a rivers discharge. An example of a physical factor that affects a rivers discharge is the rock type surrounding the river. If a river has impermeable rock type surround it, water will not be able to percolate, this will mean that the water will run as surface run-off and as this is the fastest way of travelling, the water will reach the river quicker, increasing the rivers discharge. However, if the rocks surrounding the river is permeable then the water will be able to percolate and it will travel slower, as groundwater-flow to the river, which will reduce the rivers discharge.
In fact, issues of distributive justice in the context of climate change are overly deep-rooted and have far-reaching impacts not only for the current generations but future generations as well. Queries related to siting and management of storage sites which encompasses concerns associated with risks and uncertainties of the technology; consideration of risk perceptions of all stakeholders; autonomy (or monopoly) of actors over the development and implementation of the technology; sources of funding (cost burdens) for technology deployment; discrepancies between local hazards and global good nature of the technology (as it abates GHG emissions), etc. are some of the predominant moral contestations with respect to distributive justice within CCS. Thus, a fair allocation of benefits and burdens involves socio-techno-economic factors and calls for action by the local, national and international actors. Although most of these concerns are not specific to CCS only, but the complexity and political implications of these factors in the context of CCS is certainly much more intense and contentious as it firstly, pertains to climate change, and secondly, there are too many unknowns in the technology as of
To begin with, geographic difference was one of the contributors to the diverse population development of the Paleolithic Man and the Neolithic Man. The Paleolithic Man encountered geographic surroundings were cooler and drier. Consequently, this cooling that occurred might have enabled forests to disappear and may have increased grasslands and savannas to spread. Also, glaciers were another climate suggestion which affected the population development and made way for an ice age to be possible. For this reason, the population tribes were scattered and well distant from each other.
When Queen Elizabeth took the throne in 1558, it is estimated that there were more sheep than humans in England. Unsurprisingly, given the number of sheep in England, the new industry transformed country’s economy. The people saw it beneficial to process wool and spin it into thread. This job was assigned to women, but men still contributed to the sheep business by mowing and plowing fields. By the late 1500s, England experienced a momentous expansion in the cloth-manufacturing business.
The main economic activity of the Karoo is sheep farming. Sheep wool and meat has become the economic backbone of the Karoo. In recent years, farmers are turning their land into game farms that attract many tourists every year. Today the Karoo is a great tourist attraction and is a place of great significance for the world’s paleontologists, astrologists, geologists and ecologists because in the Karoo lies a landscape that is abundant with fragments from the past in the form of fossils and a soil bed that
