Biodiversiteit: aanpassings en oorlewing

Module 31

Die wêreldbevolking

In die vorige leereenheid het ons genoem dat die groei van die wêreldbevolking sal bepaal of volhoubare ontwikkeling moontlik is en dat ons deeglik hiervan bewus moet wees.

Aktiwiteit:

Om inligting oor wêreldbevolking te vertolk

  • Bestudeer die volgende tabel en bereken die natuurlike aanwas per eenheid.

  • Op 12 Oktober 1999 het die wêreldbevolking die 6 BILJOEN merk bereik!!!

1. Wat is die nuutste waardes op die World POP clock?

2. Wat sal dit wees teen 2050?

3. Bestudeer die volgende tabel en teken ’n grafiek van die wêreldbevoking 1985 – 2006.

Aktiwiteit: OM NA TE DINK OOR DIE ROL WAT JY SPEEL IN DIE TOEKOMS VAN DIE AARDE

  • Skryf ’n paragraaf oor jou indrukke van die toekoms van die mens op planeet aarde en die rol wat jy kan speel.

Assessering van indrukke:

Het jy sinvolle indrukke oor die aarde se TOEKOMS neergeskryf?

[LU 3.1]

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

PLANET Earth is 4,600 million years old.

If we condense this inconceivable timespan into an understandable concept, we can liken the Earth to a person of 46 years of age.

Nothing is known of the first seven years of this person’s life.

Only scattered information exists about the middle span, but we know that only at the age of 42 did the Earth begin to flower.

Dinosaurs and the great reptiles did not appear until one year ago when the planet was 45.

Mammals arrived only eight months ago.

In the middle of last week, man-like apes evolved into ape-like men.

And at the weekend the last ice age enveloped the Earth.

Modern man has been around for only four hours.

During the last hour man discovered agriculture.

The industrial revolution began a minute ago, and during those 60 seconds of biological time, man has made a rubbish dump of paradise.

He has multiplied his numbers to plague proportions, caused the extinction of 500 species of animals, ransacked the Earth for fuels, and now stands like a brutish infant, gloating over his meteoric rise to acendancy, on the brink of a war to end all wars, and of effectively destroying this oasis of life in the solar system

Questions & Answers

A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?

Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter,it composition,it structure and the changes it undergoes

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
