Neptilia is a massive chunk of land, larger than that of Australia, though not quite as big as Brazil. Located to the left of Gabon, on the west coast of central Africa, it has often heat waves that cause dehydration since it’s on the equator. Many reptiles have found this country suitable, though most people have migrated or would like to migrate elsewhere because of the dangerous animals and intolerable heat. The terrain of Neptilia is not ideal for farming or living: 56% of the land is desert, another 20% is rainforests, while the 24% left is dry savanna. Their huts are grouped near the ocean and are made up of dry grass they have collected from the savanna. They obtain water by digging deep wells. Neptilian is very arid and poor. With
Australia is a land of rather extreme weather conditions and widely diverse climates that force the vegetation living there to adapt in many interesting ways. Australia is the driest continent, and biomes such as grasslands and savannas are prime sources of widespread catastrophic fires. The plants that grow in the vast arid and semi-arid regions of Australia are prone to fires simply because of the desert climates that they grow in. High temperatures combined with low fuel moisture contents, little humidity and drying winds that sweep across the landscape encourage many of the plants living in these areas to burst into flames at fairly frequent intervals. Serotinous cones, protective bark, intricate underground recovery systems, unique seed distributions and even the necessity of fire for reproduction are just some of the amazing ways that the major plant families which grow in these fire-prone areas have learned to adapt to their environments.
In the southern margins of the Sahara Desert, going southward toward East Africa are tall, rather thin dark skin peoples called the Nuer. To the Nuer horticulture is degrading toil. The Nuer live the pastoral mode of production with their primary dependancy on animal husbandry, cattle. Although the cattle is not raised for the meat, unless they become barren, or injured they eat them under special conditions. Usually adapt in dry grassland with short growing seasons.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is a Japanese animated film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The film is one of the first Studio Ghibli films to be created and it is actually said to be the movie that started Ghibli 's career (Mirasol). It was originally released in 1984 but the uncut English Version did not appear until 2005 with the help of Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment who then took over the English dubbed versions of Ghibli 's films. The voices for this film included Alison Lanman as Nausicaa, Shia LeBeouf as Asbel, Patric Stewart as Lord Yupa, Uma Thurman as Kushana, and James Arnold Taylor as Mito which proved as a decent cast for this beautifully crafted film. This film was created using traditional animation, hand
Climate change has the potential to devastate millions in Australia. Rising temperatures will impact the landscape of Australia by decreasing Australia's forests. Australia is going to have to spend billions of dollars to make sure their safety from climate change. The people in Australia will need to be strong and flexible to make it through this tough time they're going through, and Australia will have to find a way to fix this problem before it's too late. Climate change is something that will affect the entire world and it's not an issue to take lightly. Australia’s solutions are not simple at all and in order for them to work everyone will have to work together. Climate change in Australia will impact the environment, the economy, and the lives of Australians, an example of a solution is to cut down on carbon emissions.
Bauxite is a clayey rock that's the main ore of aluminum. It consists of hydrous aluminum oxide with proportions of iron oxides. Bauxite is mostly used for aluminum production. It’s a rock composed largely of aluminum-bearing minerals. It forms once dirt soils are severely leached of silicon oxide and alternative soluble materials during a wet tropical or subtropic climate. Primarily, all the aluminum that has ever been created has been mined from Bauxite.
Because of it’s poor geography-- the inconvenient layout of the land, it’s lack of crops and productive, beneficial sources of food and the poor nutrients that such frugal crop (the taro plant) provides, the country has struggled for centuries. Moreover, New Guinea’s wildlife is incredibly poor, home to no animals that they can control, domesticate and use as a reliable source of food or to work.
The Great Barrier Reef is such a large space that it is the only living thing the unaided eye can see from outer space. It is the world’s largest living structure and is located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The Great Barrier Reef is a place that helps to provide the world with food, shelter, and support. This world wonder is headed towards extinction and so is humanity.
The western highlands of Papua New Guinea are mainly composed of rugged mountains, high plateaus, and valleys. Most of the province is 2,000 meters above sea level (PNG ON LINE). This higher land is less populated than the valleys, making the valley lands densely populated with almost no region of unclaimed land. Grasslands cover the majority of these valley regions and also the swamp basins located throughout the Enga t...
The issue that I will be outlining is land erosion. I have chosen this issue because it is a big problem in Australia and in the world as it effects many industries, especially agriculture. Soil degradation is the decline in soil quality caused by its improper use, usually for agricultural, pastural, industrial or urban purposes.
The culture and structure of life in the Pacific region, or Oceania, has always been fascinating to me. There are so many things to know and learn about the Pacific Islands and their way of life. In this paper I will look deeper into the culture and describe ways in which this culture has, and continues to, survive. In doing this I will examine this particular cultures society, family structure, life ways, unique and indigenous ways, history, future, and changing factors that effect their way of life.
When looking at the climate of Australia, we can break up the continent into three basic areas of climate. The tropical region containing the northern peninsulas of Australia, as well as the city of Darwin, is hot and extremely wet. Average maximum temperatures range from 30 - 39°C with an average annual rainfall of up to 400 cm. The tropical north is covered with rainforests and is regularly hit by tropical monsoons, hence the extreme amount of precipitation. Secondly, the central deserts and grasslands cover over seventy percent of the inland and receive the least amount of rain, from 12 to 100 cm annually. The maximum temperature ranges from 24°C in the southern deserts to over 36°C in the northern grasslands. This enormous section of Australia is usually referred to as the “Outback” and is not densely populated. The third and most heavily-populated climate area is the temperate south and southeast. The big cities in Australia – Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Perth – are all located in the south, and all in the southeast except for Perth. We will focus on the southeastern coastal area when talking about this temperate climate zone, as the vast majority of Australians live in this area. The climate here is very moist and mild; although not as wet as the tropical north, receiving anywhere from 50 to 320 cm of rain annually, but much wetter in comparison to the Outback. The average maximum temperature in the southeast ranges from 12 to 27°C, which is more livable compared to the rest of the continent. To understand just how these climate zones function, we must look at the subtropical high that exists in the southern “horse latitudes” of around 30°S.

As an Amazonian inhabitant, I have witnessed the loss of the natural wealth of the rainforest and the struggle of a society to find a better future in the midst of difficulties. This environmental and social context has always encouraged me to better...
Life in Ndotsheni was that of agricultural tribal communities. The people were mostly all simple, illiterate, African pastoralists trying to live off the land. It would have been hard to grow the crops needed to survive, such as maize, because of the arid environment. Drought was not at all uncommon, and it is quite hard to grow a food supply or feed cattle when there is no water to replenish the land. The tribesmen needed help from men educated in agriculture to help cultivate the land. A person with education will know exactly what seeds to plant and when to plant them. He would also know the importance of the cattle dung to make the soil rich. If the soil is not good enough to produce crops then the villagers will be forced to move to the city along with the people who have received an education, and work for the white man's wages. "A boy with education did not want to work on the farms, and went off to the town...
Sometimes, life can deteriorate to the point where a person loses their dignity and self-respect, and are unable to communicate; life like this is longer worth living, as the most enjoyable of things are no-longer enjoyable. Euthanasia could, in my opinion, be practiced when a person reaches this point, and then only passively. If the person in question is able to communicate rationally, then their opinion must be asked first.
