Question 1 - 12

The largest of the giant gas planet, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 time greater than Earth's contain more than twice the Mass of all the other planet combined. It is though to be a gasseous and fluid planet without solid surface, had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reaction and it would have flamed as a star in its own right. Jupiter and other giant planet are of a low density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planet: they are composed predominantly of such substance as a hydrogen, helium, amonia and methane unlike terrestrial planet. Much of Jupiter's interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under pressure of millions of kilograms per square centimeters, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid with the properties of metal. Some scientist believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might be rocky or metallic like the core of earth

Jupiter rotated very fast, once in every 9,8 hour. As a result, its cloud, which are composed largely of frozen and liquid amonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands that circle the planet at different speed in different latitude. Jupiter puzzling great red spot change size as it hovers in the southern hemisphere. Scientist speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size ( the earth could easily fit inside it), last for hundreds of years.

Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from sun. Perhaps this is primeval heat or beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet. Another starlike characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellite, which, like a miniature model of the solar system, decrease in density with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away. If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the best preserved sample of the early solar nebula and with its satellite, might contain the most important clues about the origin of the solar system.

In 1972, a century after the first national park in united state was established at Yellowstone, legislation was passed to create the National Marine Sanctuaries Program. The intent of this legislation was to provide protection to selected coastal habitats similar to that existing for land areas designated as national parks. The designation of an areas a marine sanctuary indicated that it is a protected area, just as a national park is. People are permitted to visit and observe there, but living organism and their environment ma not be harmed or removed.

The national marine sanctuary program is administrated b The National oceanic and atmosphere administration, a branch of the united state department of commerce. Initially, 70 site were proposed as candidates for sanctuary status. Two and half decades later, only fifteen sanctuary had been designated, with half of these establishment after 1978. The range in size from the very small (less than 1 square kilometer) Fagatele bay National Marine Sanctuary in american Samoa to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in California, extending over 15,744 square kilometers.

The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is a crucial part of new management practice in which whole communities of species and not just individual species, are offered some degree of protection from habitat degradation and over exploitation. only this way can a reasonable degree of marine  species diversity be maintained in a setting that also maintains the natural interrelationship that exist among these species. several other types of marine protected areas exist in the unite state and other countries. The National Estuarine Research Reserve system. managed by United State government, includes 23 designated and protected estuaries. outside the united state marine protected-area program exist as marine park, reserve and preserve. over 100 designated area exist around the periphery of the Carbbean Sea. other range from well-known Australian Great Barrer Reef Marine Park to Lesser-known park in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, where tourism is placing growing pressures on fragile coral reef system. as state, national and international agency come to recognize the importance of conserving marine biodiversity, marine projected areas. whether as sanctuaries, parks or estuarine reserves, will play an increasingly important role in preserving that diversity.

With only an apprentice as an assistant, the rural artisan provided the neighborhood with common goods from furniture t shoe to farm equipment in exchange for cash or for "goods in kind" from the customer's field, pasture or dairy.

like their farming neighbor, rural artisans were part of an economy seen, by one historian, as "an orchestra conducted by nature". some task could be not done in the winter, other hand to be put off during harvest time and still others waited on raw material that only produced seasonally. as the days grew shorter, shop hours keep pace, since few artisans could afford enough artificial light to continue work when the sun went down. to the best of their ability, colonial artisan tried to keep their shops as efficient as possible to regularize their schedule and methods of production for the best return on their investment in time, tools and materials, while it is pleasant to imagine a woodworker, for example, carefully matching lumber, joining a chest together without resort to nail or glue and applying all thought and energy to carving beautiful designs on the finished piece, the time required was not justified unless the customers was willing to pa extra for the quality required and few in rural  areas were, artisans, therefore, often found it necessary to employ as many shortcuts and economics as possible while still producing satisfactory product.

Question 9 - 19

Cities develop as a result of functions that they can perform. Some functions result directly from the ingenuity of the citizenry, but most functions result from the needs of the local area and of the surrounding hinterland (the region that supplies goods to the city and to which the city furnishes services and other goods). Geographers often make a distinction between the situation and the site of the city. Situation refers to the general position in relation to the surrounding region, whereas site involves physical characteristics of the specific location. Situation is normally much more important to the continuing prosperity of the city. If a city is well situated in regard to it's hinterland, it's development is much more likely to continue. Chicago, for example, possesses an almost unparalleled situation: it is located at the southern end of a huge lake that force east west transportation line to be compressed into it's vicinity, and at a meeting of significant land and water transport route. It also overlooks what is one of the world's finest large farming region. These factor ensured that Chicago would become a great city regardless of the disadvantageous characteristics of the available site, such as being prone to flooding during thunderstorms activity.

Similarly, it can be argued that much of new York Citys importantce stems from its early and continuing advantage of situation. Philadelphia and Boston both originated at about the same time as New York and shared New York's location at the westhern end of one of the world most important oceanic trade route, but only New York possesses an easy access functional connection (the Hudson Mohawk lowland) to the vast Midwestern hinterland. This account does not alone explain New Yorks primacy, but it does include several important factors. Among the many aspects of the situation that help to explain why some city grow and other do not, originally location on navigable waterway seems particularly applicable. Of course, such characteristic as slope, drainage, power resources, river crossing, coastal shape and other physical characteristics help to determine city location, but such factors are normally more significant in early stages of city development than later.
