Origins and relationships, similarities and differences, geographic distribution, adaptations to surrounding environments b. Presented evidence that the many species of organisms presently inhabiting Earth are descendants of ancestral species that were different from the modern species c. Proposed a mechanism for this evolutionary process Natural Selection Natural Selection- population can change over generations if individuals that possess certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals

Miles Diehl 3rd Period Urban Geography "Cities still where the jobs are, says RBA." Australian [National, Australia] 16 May 2014: 35. Global Issues In Context. Web. 25 May 2014. This article talks about urban sprawl happening in Australia?s urban areas. It talks about how advancements in telecommunications aren?t large enough to allow for city suburb business. This means the central business district is still the place with the highest job density and this means much higher cost of city homes close to the CBD. In the article it says ?"While telecommunicating on some days might avoid at least some travel time, jobs are showing even greater tendency to congregate in existing centers," said RBA head of financial stability Luci Ellis?.

Miles Diehl 3rd Period Agriculture Agriculture 1. What is agriculture, and where did agriculture begin? Agriculture is the deliberate tending of crops and livestock to produce food, feed, fiber, and fuel. Primary economic activities: Economic activities that involve the extraction of economically valuable products from the earth, including agriculture, ranching, hunting and gathering, fishing, forestry. Secondary economic activities: Activities (ex., manufacturing) that take a primary product and change it into something else such as toys, ships, processed foods, chemicals, and buildings. Tertiary economic activities are those service industries that connect producers to consumers and facilitate commerce and trade or help people meet their needs.

How did plant and animal domestication set the scene for the emergence of civilization? The domestication of plants coincided with the cultivation of the use of fire. Environments dictated the choice of crops, which is why there are different types of food in all places of the world. The domestication of animals occured during the same time as that of plants. When global warming heightened, it transitioned hunter-gathering lifestyles to agricultural lifestyles, which historians call the Helocene Revolution (9000 BCE). With this new lifestyle came the emergence of civilization, and it increased the population from ten million in 5000 BCE to fifty to one hundred million by 1000 BCE.

Why did the earliest civilizations arise in river valleys? Plant domestication set the scene for the emergence of civilization, and if there is one thing plants cannot live without, it is water. Most people in early food producing societies lived in villages near rivers. Mesopotamia, the first civilization, was formed between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. There, not much rain fell, so they used water from the rivers to cultivate the crops. Its warm climate called for good soil, and the Nile regularly deposited silt.
