In this discussion forum – write an opening post of about 350 words that focuses on one specific event that is linked with global climate change. The topic should be specific and not attempt to discuss the large scale components of global climate change – it should be one specific aspect of this much larger issue. Include a video/or provide the link to a video […]

The larger the mass of a star, the higher the internal pressures. Higher internal pressures causes higher temperatures and it is temperature that determines the types of fusion that can occur deep in a stars interior. Discuss all of the types of fusion that can occur in stars, the temperatures at which each begins, and the mass required to produce each temperature.

One of the most useful fields of paleontology is biostratigraphy. Biostratigraphy is the science of using fossils to figure out how old a body of rock is. We can do this because different organisms lived at different times in the Earth’s history. This exercise will also help you become more familiar with the geologic time scale and how scientists date rocks.

 For your initial post in the discussion forum, identify at least one push/pull factor (a factors that pushes people out of one area and pulls them into another area) causing the movement of Latin American people, and give specific examples.
