LAMARCK's THEORY 
                                   
Jean Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) proposed a theory which was published in "<em>Philosophie Zoologique"</em> (1809).  This theory is simply known as Lamarckism. It has two main postulates:

1. Use and disuse of organs
2. Inheritance of acquired characters.

Example
             He explained his theory by giving the examples:
1. Neck length of Girrafes
2. Webbed toes of water birds, and
3. Wings of penguins

Explanation
               Lamarck explained that water birds use toe for swimming, with the passage of time webbed were developed in their toes. these features were then transferred to their offspring. 

Drawback
                Lamarck theory was based on natural observation. It did not explain the genetic basis of such characteristics.

1. How much of downtown boston was original land? Where did the rest come from?
Hatshy [7]

History of Boston is described below.

Explanation:

  • When workers cut down Copp's hill the only thing they left untouched was the old three-acre burying ground. The city built a retaining wall around the graveyard to prevent it from eroding. In 1814, the Boston and Roxbury Mill Corporation built the Boston & Roxbury Mill Dam across the back bay
  • Originally called Tremontaine for the three hills in the area, the Puritans later changed the settlement's name to Boston, after the town in Lincolnshire, England, from which many Puritans originated.
  • South Boston, which was front and center in the battle, is no longer that close-knit old school “tough-as-nail” Irish Catholic enclave. “Southie,” as it is still fondly referred to, houses the world today flaunting some of the best restaurants and expensive housing in the city
  • Boston was founded in 1630 by English Puritans fleeing religious persecution. On 29 March 1630 a fleet of 11 ships carrying 700 people sailed from England to Massachusetts. They were led by John Winthrop (1588-1649). At first the people settled at Charlestown, which had been founded the year before.
  • Much of Boston's coastline is man-made land. The original shoreline, from 1630, is visible in dark green on this map. Land made between 1630 and 1995 is light green.Boston is a safe city, but as with any major city, you should take the usual safety precautions. Stay in well-populated areas, travel with others, especially at night, and keep track of your belongings. The tourist areas in Boston are generally safe, but some areas deserve mention.

How does vegetative surface type affect amount of runoff
sergejj [24]
(1) Meteorological/Climate factor: -Rainfall intensity -Rainfall amount -Rainfall duration -Distribution of rainfall over the drainage basin. (2) Phsyiographic factors (e.g. watershed) - watershed size -Watershed shape -watershed slope (3) Vegetation - Dense vegetation leads to less run-off while sparse vegetation leads to more run-off. (4) Urban development. - Roads and buildings have do not allow infiltration into the soil. Water will therefore run off directly into the stream, at a very fast rate and in significant volume.
