Some people argue that we should change to Peters PROJECTION because it is fairer. With the Mercator projection, Polar REGIONS look BIGGER than they should, in comparison to EQUATORIAL regions. Of course, all projections change the shapes of places; but the Peters Projection does not change their relative areas.

As water flows in rivers, it picks up small AMOUNTS of mineral SALTS from the rocks and SOIL of the riverbeds. This very-slightly salty water flows into the oceans and seas. The water in the oceans only leaves by evaporating (and the freezing of polar ice), but the SALT remains dissolved in the ocean - it does not evaporate. So the REMAINING water gets saltier and saltier as time passes.

The location of a ZOO that an animal is KEPT in will have NOTHING at all to do with its TAXONOMY. Taxonomy is the technical word for its classification, and that stays the same no matter where the animal is moved. Sometimes classification will have to do with its location, but the animal's species does not CHANGE because it has been moved.

• Heading indicates the DIRECTION the ship/aircraft/vehicle you are in is moving.
• Bearing is normally used to INDICATE the direction something else is relative to you.
• The ship was heading 085 and maintaining a station on the carrier at two miles and a bearing of 200 from the carrier.
• This is often the case where a ship or airplane is "pointed" on a bearing ACROSS the WIND or current and "moving" on a heading that is the NATURAL consequence of the combined forces on the hull.

Fold Mountains are formed from the COLLISION of continental tectonic plates. Since neither plate sub DUCTS under the other, the colliding plates wrinkle and fold LIKE a rug being pushed into a wall.

If a river tends to FLOOD, the most practical solution may be to designate a more or LESS flat area along the river as the "floodplain". This Area is ALLOWED to flood and THUS save other, more valuable areas from flooding. Obviously, no buildings should be erected on the floodplain and it is usually unsuitable for FARMING, too.

Xeric UPLAND forest occurs mainly in the Shawnee Hills in southern Illinois on sites where the soils are even thinner than those of barrens do. The trees have a STUNTED, GNARLY growth form on these nutrient poor, droughty soils.

Dry upland forests grow on steep ridges, along rocky CLIFFS, and on bedrock outcrops along the Mississippi River and in the Shawnee Hills. Many of these sites were barrens in the past when natural fires were not extinguished by humans. The soils are thin and excessively drained, but the trees are not as stunted as those of the xeric upland forest are, which have even thinner soils.

Barrens means describes a variety of open-canopied forests with under stories of grasses and prairie plants. They are a UNIQUE combination of forest (oak) opening and prairie surrounded by dry or mesic upland forests with greater canopy cover. Both barrens and savannas have widely spaced trees and under stories of grasses, but whereas savannas occur on a range of soils from nutrient poor to nutrient rich, barrens are restricted to poor, thin, excessively drained soils.

GEOGRAPHICAL coordinates allow LOCATIONS or DEVICES with the geographical locations to be tracked and located. In essence, if a phone has geographical positioning built inside the phone can be tracked by satellite and located. An example of this is PEOPLE call 911 and they are not sure where they are. Operators are STILL able to locate where they are and send help.

There are infinite numbers of imaginary lines that are used to divide and identify the entire surface of the EARTH. Some are CALLED lines of latitude, or parallels as these lines run parallel to each other and the equator in an East and West direction. The others are called lines of longitude, or meridians, and they run north and SOUTH, CONVERGING at the poles. The two "primary" lines (or starting points, if you will) are called the Prime MERIDIAN and the Equator. The Prime Meridian bisects the earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. It runs north and south through Greenwich, England at zero degrees of longitude and through the Pacific Ocean at 180 degrees of longitude. The Equator at zero degrees latitude bisects the earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and runs around the middle of the earth. The Equator runs through South America and passes about 15 miles from the center of Quito, Ecuador.

A NATURAL boundary might be something like a river, mountain range or an ocean. These are generally considered obstructions, which prevent crossing without additional equipment or assistance, such as a boat or horses to carry what you need to cross a mountain range.

A political boundary WOULD be a real or imagined line in the sand that DEFINES the boundary of a nation or state.

For example, Australia's boundary is an ocean and SWITZERLAND's boundary is defined by mountains, these are both physical and natural boundaries. The boundaries of Colorado are all just surveying lines and there really is not much of a physical boundary involved.

This article concerns the development of conceptual understanding of a physical phenomenon with computational representations. It examines how students make sense of and interpret computational representations, and how their understanding of the represented physical phenomenon develops in this process. Eight studies were conducted, in which pairs of students were engaged in an exploratory activity of natural HARMONIC oscillation. They first explored physical oscillators (e.g., springs, pendulums) and then interacted with dynamic and interactive computational representations that represent aspects of natural harmonic oscillation. The analysis focuses on selected episodes DEMONSTRATING critical steps in the development of the students' understanding. It offers a detailed description of these steps and closely examines students' interaction with various FEATURES of the representations in order to identify the relations between use of representations and students' developing understanding.

A theory of conceptual change, coordination class theory (diSessa & Sherin, 1998), is used to track the development process of students' understanding with representations. The detailed analysis aims to construct a model describing mechanisms of developing understanding through the mediation of computational representations. The significance of this study is in its close look at the detailed process of learning and conceptual change in computational ENVIRONMENTS.

Most places along the equator are WARM because that is where the SUN's light and HEAT hits the Earth most directly. However, if the land is very high, like the Andes Mountains in ECUADOR, there it can be cold and COVERED with snow.
