Carbon tax is an environmental tax levied on the carbon content of fuels. It is a form of carbon pricing. Carbon is present in every hydrocarbon fuel , such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas. It is then released as carbon dioxide (CO2) when they are burnt. In contrast, non-combustion energy sources—wind,sunlight, hydropower, and nuclear—do…

One footprint, one large impact The latest official world population estimates the current population, for mid-year 2009, at approximately 6,790,062,219 (Rosenberg, 2009). From now until the middle of the 21st century, in only fifty years, the world’s population will increase by 50% from 6 billion at the end of 1999 to close to 9 billion…

Both Diamond and Graphite are different forms of carbon, known as allotropic forms. Despite sharing the same element, they display contrasting properties. Diamond is exceptional in conducting heat but lacks conductivity in electricity, whereas graphite struggles with thermal conduction but excels in electrical conduction. This variation in properties is a result of the distinct arrangement…

The debate between nature and nurture continues to perplex society, particularly when trying to determine the appropriate course of action in certain situations. One of these instances is sex change, a significant decision that requires careful consideration of various factors. This decision is not straightforward when confronted with complications such as hermaphroditism or botched circumcisions….

Interdependence in nature is illustrated by the transfer of energy through trophic levels. the diagram below depicts the transfer in a food web of an arctic lake in Alaska. Choosing organisms from four different trophic levels of this food web as examples, explain how energy is obtained at each trophic level; 1 page, 1 source…

            Enrico Fermi was born in Rome on September 29, 1901, to a family that originally was composed of peasants from a rich agricultural region near Piacenza, in the Po Valley in northern Italy.

However according to Richard Dawkins, in his Selfish Gene theory, pure altruism does not exist. This theory all boils down to expanding and maximizing inclusive fitness. The term selfish does not imply that there is any motives…
