Geography Assessment

Your written response must be typed, using 12 point font, with 1 inch margins, double-spaced and in an essay format (introduction, body and conclusion paragraphs). Be sure to use content from the textbook ( Diversity Amid Globalization: World Regions, Environment, Development, 7e) and lectures to support your argument. The essay should be between a page and a half to two pages.
Select one World Region or Realm you studied this semester in your Regional Geography of the World course. Identify three characteristics (population patterns, economic patterns, political systems, climate, biomes, religion, language, etc.) found in the majority of countries in the region that justify the grouping of countries together as a unit. Be specific about how each characteristic is shared among countries in the region. Next, discuss an outlier to one of the shared characteristics that contribute to the diversity present in the region.

No other citations are required, if it’s written by using info from text book.

Reading Summary

In your own words.. (NO CITATIONS)

Explain the main purpose and objective(s) of this research.

How do the authors explain/simulate/map the range expansion of mountain pine beetle (MPB), and do you think this is effective?

The authors state In the past, large-scale mountain pine beetle outbreaks collapsed due to localized depletion of suitable host trees in combination with the adverse effects of climate. What do they predict will happen with MPB outbreaks in the future if climate change continues in their predicted trajectory?

Scholarly articles Science

This scientific article (attached ) the document is an example of primary source infromation from a well-respected academic journal Science.  Read it, then answer the following questions (+ 12 pts):
If you want to ask a question about this paper, who should you contact? what is the email address to send the question? What is his mailing address?
Who has contributed most to this paper?  Why isn’t he/she the corresponding person?
Where are “Materials and Methods” located?
How is the order of sections different from the general orders we’ve learned about this week?
Where is the abstract in this paper? Based on the abstract what is this paper roughly about?
Copy down the legend for Figure 6 and paste it in your post.  Which acylcarnitine types showed a significant difference between Ob-Ob, Ln-Ln and Obch groups?
Find the online article or abstract for reference #29. How many authors are there in this reference?
This obviously is a very technical paper involving lots of terms and research data.  How do you feel this week’s learning materials have helped you understand it?
This New York Times article (Links to an external site.) is a secondary source information regarding the research published in the journal of Science.  It’s much easier to understand.  You may want to read it to help you answer the questions. 

Watch the YouTube video below. Which tip do you find most helpful? Explain how it works. (+3 pts)

Wildfire Adaptive Trait

**THIS INCLUDES A POWERPOINT SLIDE OR SKETCH**

There are countless examples of interesting fire-adaptive traits (meaning the trait confers an adaptive advantage to the species) in vegetation, animals, insects, and bacteria and fungi, across the world. Here’s your chance to pick your favorite, and make it shine. Use web and literature resources to find a species with fire adaptive trait(s) you consider to be impressive and interesting. Then: sketch (by using powerpoint, a diagram, sketch, or schematic that explains that trait.

Answer the following questions: (In a short 2 page essay)

Include: 1) the scientific name and common name of the species;
2) where it is found- geography and what ecosystem(s);
3) what its fire adaptive trait(s) is/are;
4) what are the characteristics of the fire regime to which it is adapted, and
5) why this is relevant and interesting.

EXAMPLE:
Nice work on this week’s module. I had a tough time with it, but I REALLY like how you organized your thoughts for question 1. I was having a hard time kinda getting all that information together and packaging it neatly for others to read, so great job there! Obviously being on the ambulance makes for things being a bit hard to read, and I don’t know if I’ve forwarded this along to you yet, but downloading Adobe Scan on your phone and using that to submit makes the text pop a little more. So, just for future use. Your chart for question 2b is awesome — well done!!
