Ocean Currents and the Overlying Atmospheric Circulation System
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the relationship between ocean currents and the overlying atmospheric circulation system. Both ocean circulation systems and atmospheric systems have definitive patterns which are comparable in their nature and both function in much the same way in regard to the manner which they move through the world. The author discusses the causes and effects of this interrelationship, noting important phenomena like hurricanes and the ability of the world’s currents to transport not only sedimentary material but man himself. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Photosynthesis And The Carbon Cycle
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The cycle of life is present in myriad forms -- from birds dispersing seedlings far and wide to bees pollinating flowers to animals propagating their respective species -- providing for the survival of every living thing on this planet. The symbiotic relationship that exists between each two elements in the above examples illustrates how the lifecycle could not perpetuate itself if one of them were missing, a point just as pertinent when examining how soil and seed make food as when analyzing the interdependence of photosynthesis and the carbon cycle, with coral reefs representing a most appropriate example of this association. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Piotr Alekseyevich Kropotkin’s “Mutual Aid: A Factor of
Evolution”
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses the theories of Piotr
Alekseyevich Kropotkin (1842-1941), a Russian geographer, social
philosopher, and political anarchist. Kropotkin’s work and
observations of the natural world convinced him that creatures
survived when they supported one another but had to face an
enormous amount of pain and dissension when they turned on one
another. Such thinking flew in the face of the popularity of
Social Darwinism and served as a significant philosophical
contention. “Mutual Aid” was primarily written as a rebuttal to
Thomas Huxley’s essay titled “The Struggle for Existence in Human
Society.” Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Planet Hunters May Rival Indiana Jones.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) "Or it might have formed from a large burp
of matter from its host star, or maybe a passing
star just left a chunk of itself behind at some time in the past, "Marcy said. "It may even have moons around it, but I just don't know what to call it." Sounds like conversation from a discarded sci-fi novel, doesn't it? How about that is real conversation from January of this year (2001). Geoffrey Marcy of the University of California, at Berkeley, calls himself a "planet hunter." He and his team have located "something,"123 light-years from Earth, is indeed a planet, it would be the largest ever detected. This guy is so big we don't know what to call it," Marcy said.
Bibliography lists 3 sources and 2 visuals of
expoplanets.

Plant And Animal Species In The California Desert
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The California desert is not conducive for just any life form, but rather only those who have effectively undergone the necessary physiological adaptations that allow them to withstand extreme heat and cold. Indeed, it can readily be argued that heat is not the only prerequisite for desert environment, inasmuch an arctic-like atmosphere is just as much a part of the desert since its water source is locked within the ice structures. Therefore, there are two distinctly separate entities of life forms that exist within the desert landscape: the heat-adapted and the cold-adapted. Bibliography lists 9 sources and 5 small charts.
