Biosphere
The biosphere consists of four main parts: the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere. The biosphere is the region of Earth where life exists, including the surface and lower atmosphere. It exists primarily near the surface where sunlight is most available to drive photosynthesis. The biosphere includes interactions between living organisms (biotic factors) and their physical environment (abiotic factors), together making up ecosystems. Heterotrophs like animals obtain food by consuming other organisms, and can be primary, secondary, or tertiary consumers. The sun and water are essential for life in the biosphere, providing energy and serving as the universal solvent.

This chapter introduces the field of physical geography and its main perspectives. Physical geography is the study of natural environments and physical processes on Earth. It involves fields like climatology, geomorphology, and hydrology. The chapter outlines three major perspectives in physical geography: the spatial science perspective, which examines the location and characteristics of places; the physical science perspective, which views Earth as an interconnected system; and the environmental science perspective, which focuses on human-environment interactions and sustainability. The chapter concludes by discussing important concepts in physical geography like models, systems, equilibrium, and feedback loops.
Section 01
Soil is formed through the interaction of the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. It is the biologically active, porous medium that develops below the land surface. Soil consists of mineral and organic components, with pore spaces filled with either air or water. As the interface between these spheres, soil impacts ecosystem dynamics and the Earth system as a whole. It is classified based on its horizons, which form layers with different properties over time through soil-forming factors like climate, organisms, relief, and parent material.

The document then describes Earth's four subsystems - the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere - and how they interact with each other. For example, it notes how the atmosphere and hydrosphere exchange heat and moisture through the water cycle.
Integrated Science M4 terrestrial environment
This document provides an introduction to a unit on the terrestrial environment and the biosphere. It begins by outlining the objectives and overview of the unit. The unit will introduce the components of the biosphere, ecosystems and biomes, and interactions among the spheres. It then defines key terms like biosphere, environment, and discusses the three main spheres of the biosphere - the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. The document provides examples of terrestrial and aquatic biomes and discusses abiotic and biotic factors within ecosystems. It also explores interactions between the spheres through examples like the water cycle and food chains/webs.

Lesson 4 river features
Rivers change as they flow downstream from their source through three main stages - upper, middle, and lower course. In the upper course, erosion is dominant as the river has high energy and cuts into the landscape. In the middle course, transportation of sediment occurs as the river flows across flatter land. In the lower course near the river's mouth, deposition takes place as the river slows and loses energy, forming features like deltas.
Lesson 2 hydrology
The document provides an overview of hydrology and the hydrological cycle. It discusses key topics like the significance of water, water availability globally, the stores and transfers of water through evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, runoff, and groundwater flow. It also describes key hydrological concepts such as drainage basins, patterns of drainage, and nested basins.
The semicolon
The semicolon has two main uses: to connect two independent clauses and to serve as a "super comma" when items in a list already contain commas. It can also be used in a few minor situations, such as introducing a list preceded by a connecting word or joining two sentences connected by a conjunction when the first sentence already contains commas. Mastering the two primary uses of connecting independent clauses and serving as a super comma will allow you to use semicolons correctly in most situations.
How to reference
This document provides guidelines for citing and referencing sources using the Harvard referencing system in geography. It explains that sources should be cited in the text of an essay or report using the author-date format (e.g. Smith, 2020) and included in an alphabetical reference list at the end. The reference list includes full publication details for different source types, such as books, journal articles, reports and websites. Consistent citation and referencing is important for acknowledging sources and allowing readers to trace information.
How to reference, The Harvard Way
The document provides instructions for using the Harvard referencing system. It explains that the Harvard system is simple and easy for readers to use. Direct quotations should include the page number. For web pages, include the author's name and year last modified. References are listed alphabetically at the end with specified formats for books, newspapers, and electronic sources that include titles, authors, publishers, and URLs.

Migrants Effects on Age Structure and Fertility in the USA
This document analyzes the effects of immigration on the age structure and fertility rates in the United States using data from the 2007 American Community Survey. It finds that immigrants have a younger age distribution than native-born Americans, with a disproportionate share of immigrants being of prime working age. The flow of young immigrants continues to lower the average age of the foreign-born population. Immigrant women also have higher fertility rates than native women, accounting for over 20% of U.S. births and keeping the overall birth rate at the replacement level. Therefore, the study concludes that immigration significantly impacts the demographic composition of the U.S. population in ways that previous studies have not fully acknowledged.
Lesson 3 migration part 1
This document provides an overview of key concepts relating to population migration, including:
1) Definitions of migration terms like migration, circulation, push and pull factors. Migration is defined as movement between administrative regions while circulation covers shorter trips.
2) Causes of migration like economic, social, political factors that can push people to leave a place or pull them to a new one.
3) Types of migration by timescale (daily to permanent) and space (local to international).
4) Examples are given of migration rates and top sources and destinations of international migrants worldwide.
Population Key terms cheat sheet
This document defines key terms related to demographics and population studies, including: population distribution, population density, natural population increase, crude birth rate, crude death rate, population growth rate, demographic transition model, population age-sex pyramid, average life expectancy, infant mortality rate, economically active population, non-economically active population, dependency ratio, fertility rate, replacement ratio, MEDC, LEDC, migration, emigrant, immigrant, push factors, pull factors, migration balance, and forced migration.
Ned Baring Lesson 1 population
This unit introduces key concepts and terms related to population geography. It examines global patterns of population distribution and the factors that influence these patterns. Some key points covered include defining population terms; describing population distribution at micro, meso, and macro scales; analyzing factors like climate, resources, and development level that affect distribution; and important population milestones and projections for future growth. Students will study population trends and statistics in more and less developed countries. The unit aims to help students understand population dynamics over time, space and scale.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
