Promoting and practicing gender equity is the best way that a country can reduce population growth and poverty rates. Explain how this works, using examples from Module 4 course materials

Question #1: How does the development of housing along the Gowanus canal help or hinder efforts to reduce displacement and inequity through gentrification? Question #2: What are the major social justice issues facing Brooklyn communities that the work along the Gowanus canal can help address?

What is the difference between weather and climate? Describe how Earth’s climate can change naturally. How do humans contribute to climate change? Do you feel you have personally contributed to climate change?

In a minimum of 1000 words, describe why management of food waste is so important to the environment and explain what steps the state of California and  (try to also do Fresno County also) has taken to minimize the impact of food waste into the climate. Any resources you use must be cited.

what you would take with you if you had to spend a month in an Antarctica research station. You don’t have to worry about basic living conditions, and three meals a day are provided. What would you definitely want to take with you, and why?

What is the difference between a meridian (or longitude) and a parallel (or latitude)? Indicate the latitude and longitude key west, Florida  What are the four types of distortions that can result from map projections? What are the three ways to indicate scale on a map? What are GIS, GPS, and Remote Sensing and how do these technologies contribute to more accurate and timely geographic information on Earth? How do you use these technologies (if any) in your everyday life? The body of the papers should be 2-3 pp. long, double-spaced with 1-inch margins and a times new roman 12 point font. Use APA style for citations and provide a reference page.

The Five Themes of Geography include location, place, region, movement, and human environment interaction. How does the US Navy use these themes of geography in their day to day actions

PowerPoint built modeling the one attached discussing the nation of Croatia including its capital, GDP, import and export, politics, military/ law enforcement capabilities, economy, culture, social and tourism, infrastructure, environment, terrain, climate, and time zone.

Throughout the semester, you have learned about various components, processes, and interactions in the “Earth System”; in other words, the “natural environment”. Choose an aspect of the Earth System that you thought was particularly interesting and write about it (MAKE SURE IT IS ABOUT SOMETHING WE COVERED IN CLASS; SOMETHING RELEVANT ABOUT NATURE). Include what the basic components (“parts”) are, discuss some processes (“things that are happening”), and explore some ongoing interactions (“how some things are affecting other things”).  Example: Here is a very simple, basic example, just to give you an idea (I didn’t elaborate here because it is up to you to do that over 5 paragraphs): You might choose earthquakes (THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE. CHOOSE WHATEVER YOU LIKE THAT IS RELEVANT TO THIS CLASS). What is particularly interesting about them to you? Why did you choose them? You would need to address the “parts” involved, such as faults and energy waves (and more). You would then need to discuss the “things that are happening”, such as the waves moving through the ground and then shaking things up on the surface (and more). You would finally need to discuss “how some things are affecting other things”, such as the earthquake creating a tsunami, which affects people along coastlines (and more).

Precipitation patterns on Earth depend on the characteristics of the surface and location. Why is precipitation important for life on land? Discuss the hydrological cycle and why it is important for the formation of precipitation. Describe at least 3 types of precipitation and describe how each one forms (the conditions necessary). Give examples of one location where precipitation is very low and one location where it is very high, and discuss why?
