If we can not hold the earth together the earth will fall. Without earth providing for us we will not be able to survive. This is how we as humans have a perfect relationship with the Earth! ]]> 2017-01-14 19:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/gerardchristina/c9znsxb0laqu/wish/147205061 gerardchristina https://padlet.com/gerardchristina/c9znsxb0laqu/wish/148540954 I choose this video since it was simple and straight to the point. It described photosynthesis basically in Layman's terms without all of the scientific words that can definitely get confusing. The animation was also very helpful to the explanation provided in the video. After watching it, i now have a better understanding of what the term photosynthesis means.  ]]> 2017-01-22 03:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/gerardchristina/c9znsxb0laqu/wish/148540954 gerardchristina https://padlet.com/gerardchristina/c9znsxb0laqu/wish/157815502 Desert is a dry land that receives little or no rainfall and experiences heavy wind. The winds do form the sand dunes, which support the growth of the desert plant (Mainguet 4). The occasional mild changes in temperature and rainfall or precipitation would have a drastic effect on plants and animals living in the desert because they largely suffer from drought.

The Stonehenge has led people into having settled life. Moreover, human beings have grown food from their farms. Equally important, they are protected by the laws of the land and have more time for leisure and learning. ]]> 2017-03-12 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gerardchristina/c9znsxb0laqu/wish/159520183 gerardchristina https://padlet.com/gerardchristina/c9znsxb0laqu/wish/163262217 The GM sorghum has been invented from the biotechnological techniques. These types of sorghum have less maturation time to harvest, it is also drought resistant, and has improved nutritive value. In addition, it has led to the increase in food security and an overall improvement in the local and global economy. ]]> 2017-03-28 20:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gerardchristina/c9znsxb0laqu/wish/163262217 gerardchristina https://padlet.com/gerardchristina/c9znsxb0laqu/wish/163263488 Quinine is an antimalarial drug that is derived from the back of the cinchoma tree, which is largely found in India. Its chemical formula is C₂₀H₂₄N₂O₂. It is normally in the form of tablets. The drug is affordable to many people and readily available. ]]> 2017-03-28 20:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gerardchristina/c9znsxb0laqu/wish/163263488 gerardchristina https://padlet.com/gerardchristina/c9znsxb0laqu/wish/163264457 The world would be dry with the sun scorching, look like a desert, and become formless without any attracting features. It would have no plants and animals in it. Human activities such as deforestation, mining, and poor farming practices would leave the land bear. Humanity would consider money as most important and would ignore the impacts their activities would have on the environment.
