Introduction... I read a book abput the Galapagos islands writen by Paul D. Steward. I have devided my presentation in 3 paragraphs: Firstly i will tal about the origins of the islands and the history, secondly about life on the land and in the sea, finaly about conserving the Galapagos. The Galapagos Islands are situated on junctions between several shifting tectonic plates on the equator and about 1000 km off the Pacific coast of Ecuador. They are the product of one of the most volcanically active regions on our planet, a hot spot is situated directly beneath the islands and also It is the point where major ocean currents meet. These circumstances combine to make an area that truly is like no other place on earth. Galapagos is comprised of 13 major islands, more than 120 smaller islets and rocks, and the surrounding ocean. The total land mass is almost 8,000 sq. km. Highest peak is Wolf Volcano reaching 1707m. The present islands ar...

Ecuadori riigi transpordi ja turismimajanduse ülevaade 1. Lennujaamu on kokku 2010 aasta seisuga 428 . See näitaja on väga hea, kuna nad on 18 maailma arvestuses. Raudteede kogupikkus on 965 km. Eestiga võrreldes on seda vähem, arvatavasti kasutatakse neid rohkem kaupade ja asjade transportimiseks , kui inimeste vedamiseks . Maanteede pikkuseks on 43,670 km. 2. a) Neid jõgesid kasutatakse kalastamiseks, inimeste vedamiseks, b)Suuremad sadamad on Guayaquil, Manta, Puerto Bolivar. Neid sadamaid kasutatakse transiitvedudeks. c) d) Õhutranspordi tähtsus on enamjaolt suur, kuna inimesed lendavad Ecuadoris lennukitega ühest linnast teise, see on mugavam ja kiirem võimalus kohale jõudmiseks. e) 3. a) Enimlevinud turismiliigid : Kalastamine, seiklusturism, loodusturism, ajalooliste ehitiste turism, sukeldumine b) 6,6% moodustab turism kogu riigi SK...
Subject: Animals in danger of extinction Date: 20.04.11 The aim of this report is to make an overview of the status of wild animals in the world. The report is based on up-to-date statistics related to the topic. There are several disappointing facts and figures. a) Over the last couple of years the list of animals in danger of extinction has grown rapidly. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has calculated the percentage of endangered animals as 40 percent of all organisms. Recent research indicates that 70% of the world's most threatened mammal species are currently receiving little or no conservation attention.On 29 January 2010, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species identified 842 extinct species and subspecies. b) The rarest animal on Earth today is the Pinta Island Tortoise (originating from the Galapagos Islands) , which is critically endangered, since t...

Tallinn 2013 Ott Speek Subject: English Geodesy Study group: GI-21b PETROLEUM PRESENTATION Petroleum (L. petroleum, from Greek: Πέτρα (rock) + Latin: oleum (oil) is a naturally occurring flammable liquid consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and other liquid organic compounds, that are found in geologic formations beneath the Earth's surface. The name Petroleum covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude oils and petroleum products that are made up of refined crude oil. A fossil fuel, it is formed when large quantities of dead organisms, usually zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock and undergo intense heat and pressure. Petroleum is recovered mostly through oil drilling. This comes after the studies of structural geology (at the reservoir scale), sedimentary basin analysis, reservoir characterization (mainly in terms of porosity and perme...
