Environment - March 2007

Two different species of periodical cicada in America spend 13 or 17 years underground before emerging for a few weeks to mate and lay eggs and then die. Both 13 and 17 are primes, and the cicada uses these so that predatory insects with periodical lifespans of their own will have little chance of coinciding their life cycle with those of the cicada (because primes have no other factors other than themselves and 1 - e.g. if the cicada used a 10 year period, then insects with a a 2 or 5 year period could end up as systematic predators). This made me wonder if there are any other instances of primes occuring in the natural world

I've already asked a question about reusable pads, and someone posted an interesting view: he mentioned that Toxic Shock Syndrome would be a risk. I need help understanding how this would work, then, because they have been in use for years. Thanks for answering my last question, everybody!

I am a 19-year-old eco-entrepeneur. Right now I am conducting surveys and creating prototypes of reusable, eco-friendly feminine products. They are larger than most disposable pads (ie. Always and Kotex brand), made of soft cotton, and can be reused for years. I would just like to have your opinion about this product. If you say "Yes," or "No", then why? Thank you.

I haven't been able to find any simulations regarding sea level effect of global warming at different scenarios, including total meltdown of all permanent ice on the planet. Any ideas?

Thanks!

i am doing a speech about global warming. what is a metaphor i could use to compare global warming to it? such as death.

"In a sense, we’ve come to our earth’s end. when things were young, everything was healthy and safe. After all the bad things, it is getting closer and close to the end. We cannot live in this earth forever as it is getting hotter and hotter.



what is some more i could add to this? make it into 2 paragraphs
