Influence of Geography on History and Development
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing geography’s influence on history. Geography has a great impact on history, development, and social, cultural, religious and political affiliations. Historically, regions with geographical advantageous positions, such as those with access to navigable waterways have led other areas in regards to exploration, market economy and development. Geographically, Britain provides an excellent example of the advantages of a land with fertile soil, navigable waterways and a long coastline with natural harbors. This led England to exploration and navigation which in turn led them to other lands which they could develop. Other regions with water access also gained a great deal in trade and exploration. New lands which were developed were also those which were easily accessible, had irritable soil, and navigable waterways. Lands which did not have these geographically preferred features were largely neglected unless they were geophysically blessed with natural resources such as oil or gold. Today geography still plays an essential influence on the historical affiliations of many peoples who despite political, religious or international alliances are still mostly affected with their geographical locale.

Invasive Non-Native Plants
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses
non-native, invasive plants and the fact that they have often
damaged more habitat than development. Non-native plants or
invasive weeds follow a growth pattern opposite the native plants
and overcome habitats either before or after the native plants
are in season. They may be harmless and beneficial in their
natural surroundings, but they can totally devastate different
environments. Greater effort must be spent to make individuals
aware of the potential harm and destroy non-native invaders when
they first appear. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
