Do you think the United States (or the country where you live) should phase out dependence on imported oil? Write up a three-point program that you would use to accomplish this. List two major challenges you would face in achieving this goal and explain how you could deal with each.

"Building Better Soil for Better Crops,” What I would like for all of you to consider while reading these particular excerpts is "what goes into a healthy soil?" Summarize the chapters in a paragraph, making sure to hit all of the key points. 2. Why do you think some soils are healthier than others? Think back to some of our previous in class discussions and readings. 3.a. You have experimented with gardening on your property. However, year after year, your garden has failed to produce. What might be some indicators for this failure? How might you go about determining what your issues are? b. Peer Responses: Through peer responses, discuss amongst yourselves what you would do to manipulate soils in Southern NJ to improve their health based on suggestions presented in the article. What properties do you think might not be the best for growing crops and will likely require assistance? 4. Differentiate between how humans mistreat soils in modern day vs. historically - do you think we have learned anything from history? Can anyone please answers these question by in orders and with mentioning number. Thanks in advance

Please comment on the paragraph.

I have chosen the argument of global warming being a hoax. Global warming is the idea that earth’s atmosphere is being depleted due to increased levels of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. The antecedent argument supports the claim of global warming which is, if global warming is real, then the global temperatures will have risen. And that has happened, therefore, global warming is real. While I do believe we are leaving a carbon footprint I also believe that the world has been rising in temperature since the beginning, and that there is no way to stop this. We can only be mindful in the amount of contribution we have towards global warming. Therefore, the antecedent argument that is invalid would be, if we are experiencing cold weathers, then global warming is not true. However, cold weather can still occur during global warming, because the colder temperatures are based off of the position of the world to the sun (Shepherd, 2018).

Identify two (2) factors that influence a species’ ability to disperse to follow its suitable climate if it shifts due to climate change

Explain the modifications to Julian Date that need to be made for Heliocentric Julian Date (HJD) and Barycentric Julian Date (BJD) [5]

Two large containers A and B of the same size are filled with different fluids. The fluids in containers A and B are maintained at 0° C and 100° C, respectively. A small metal bar, whose initial temperature is 100° C, is lowered into container A. After 1 minute the temperature of the bar is 90° C. After 2 minutes (since being lowered into container A) the bar is removed and instantly transferred into the other container. After 1 minute in container B the temperature of the bar rises 10°. How long, measured from the start of the entire process, will it take the bar to reach 99.8° C? (Round your answer to two decimal places. Assume the final temperature being asked for is reached while the bar is container B.)

A controversial practice in conservation is the collecting of DNA from endangered animals and keeping it safe in various institutions so as to have a "stored bank" in case the animal goes extinct. One such project is the Frozen Ark Project. The "mission of the Frozen Ark Project is to collect, preserve and store tissue, gametes, viable cells and DNA from endangered animals. The project focuses on the thousands of animals that are threatened with extinction. Animal species are dying out at an unprecedented rate. The current round of extinctions is largely created by mankind, because of the increase in human populations and its effect on the planet’s ecosystems. Global warming is a major contributor to this destruction. Despite the best efforts of conservationists, thousands of extinctions are happening. This pattern is common across all animal groups, both vertebrate and invertebrate, and emphasizes the importance of collecting the genetic materials and cells of endangered animals before they disappear. The loss of a species destroys the results of millions of years of evolution. If cells are preserved, invaluable information about the species is saved. The Frozen Ark Project is not a substitute for conservation, but a practical and timely backup of genetic material for the good of, future generations" (https://frozenark.org/).  Do you think this is a viable practice? Ethical practice? What are the positives and possible negatives of such 'frozen' projects?

Why are sediment grains that are resting on the sea floor more likely to become entrained at high Reynolds numbers than low Reynolds numbers? Make sure you also relate your answer to the shape of the boundary layer.

• What is your preferred approach when having to solve complex problems?

• Sometimes it is very difficult to make a decision where there are number of alternatives available. Describe a situation where you found it difficult to choose between different alternatives? How did you eventually arrive at a decision?

• How do you decide which are the most important things to do in your job and which are the least important on a particular day/week

• Can you think of a recent example where you were under extreme pressure at work to produce results in a short time? Explain what steps you took to motivate yourself to be on time?

3. Without any controls, population growth would be exponential. However, this does not occur because there are population-limiting factors.Describe the growth pattern of populations growing in a limited environment..What is meant by density-dependent factors that affect growth Give three examples of density-dependent factors and explain how they affect population growth. Give one example of a density-independent (abiotic) factor that affects growth and explain why it is density independent.
