One of the best mysteries on Earth are the statutes which stand on Easter Island. Easter Island is one of the most remote islands on Earth. It’s in the southern Pacific Ocean, 2, 300 miles west of the coast of Chile and 2500 miles southeast of Tahiti. The closest island is 1400 miles away, and that island is uninhabited. Easter Island is only 15 miles long and 10 miles large. Still, Easter Island, which was nearly uninhabited when it was discovered on Easter Day in 1722 by a Dutch captain, is covered with hundreds of giant statutes, each weighing some number of tons and some standing more than 30 feet tall.

. The major function of using hybrid stains is to increase productivity. Unfortunately, this accepted results in only some hybrid crop strains being used for commercial agriculture. These hybrid crops lack the genetic diversity of the many wild strains, and the resistance of hybrids to pests and illness is usually lower. So, it’s needed to protect and conserve the wild strains as a genetic library, from which one can draw the genetic info needed for producing improved and more tolerant hybrid strains. A alike situation exists in livestock breeding, except that the loss of genetic diversity in livestock has more serious consequences. (eoearth.org)

AP Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary course intended to be the equivalent of a one-semester introductory college course. Some of the big themes discussed include biochemical cycles, ecology, health, human population, energy resources and intake, pollution and agriculture. Students will be provided with the fundamental rules and methodologies obliged to rigorously examine these issues, investigate alternative solutions to both natural and man-made environmental issues, and weigh relative risks related with the problems. Research, fieldwork and laboratory experimentation will be utilized. (hamilton.k12.nj.us)
