Behind the flowery bushes, the land is filled with short grass and few trees. The plants around the river are flourishing with color and are large in size. Water is the key to life (obviously) and this picture represents it well. The environment NEEDS plants. As for society, animals and reptiles linger around water and vegetation. Most of them consume plants which means sustained energy in the animal.]]> 2018-01-24 08:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/224117149 mjett2 https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/229407875 I really enjoy this video below because it makes it very easy to understand. I like when videos make references to scenarios that we can all relate too. One of my other favorite things about this video is the animation used in it. I am such a visual learner so videos that have descriptive animation help me out when understanding a concept.]]> 2018-02-08 03:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/229407875 mjett2 https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/232357115 The Indian Blanket Flower is the plant that I chose to do this Padlet on. It is native to Georgia and is classified an Angiosperm. The taxonomic name for this flower is Gaillardia pulchella. This is a heat-tolerant plant which is one of the many reasons Georgia is a great place to grow this type of flowing plant. ]]> 2018-02-16 15:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/232357115 mjett2 https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/238907841 The biome that is in the most danger is the Tundra. Global warming is causing a lot of problems on Earth, especially to the colder climates. The warmer the Earth gets, the warmer the ground gets along with change in vegetation and precipitation. Though there is nothing really that humans can do to stop the climate changes, it will still affect the plants and animals that call the Tundra home. ]]> 2018-03-06 21:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/238907841 mjett2 https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/243803065 Humans were immensely impacted by the First Agricultural Revolution. The food supply increased along with the population. Jobs were created from agriculture, leading to jobs making equipment. Though many advantages came from this, there were also disadvantages that arose. Yes, food supply overall increased, but if there was a drought, famine became widespread. The exposure to disease made people extremely sick, leading to death.

The creation of the plow was to this day one of the most useful farming machines. The plow digs furrows in the soil, making planting seeds extremely easy compared to do it all by shovels and hoes. This invention is used all around the world and has impacted the global society immensely, making the production of plants a lot faster. ]]> 2018-04-09 00:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/249602506 mjett2 https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/252788820 Quinine, which comes from the bark of the cinchona tree, is one of the most influential chemicals in the world. Quinine was founded well before the 1600's and has had an extremely important impact on Earth. This chemical is used to treat and prevent malaria. It is also used to relieve muscle cramps and treat various colds.]]> 2018-04-17 21:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/252788820 mjett2 https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/256385712 If present day practices were unchecked and unregulated, I envision the future world to look like this. Water is filled with trash and cattle being unsupervised. The cows are most likely eating the trash, meaning that the meat they provide will be tainted. Food stability will decrease and the demand for food will surpass the supply. ]]> 2018-04-30 02:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mjett2/Unit_1_Unit_2/wish/256385712
