1. How would you define being an entrepreneur? Being an entrepreneur is a great deal of work and dedication. 2. I am doing a research paper on Island Beneath the Sea, a novel about slavery in the Caribbean during the 1770’s and 1800’s. Can you share some insights about what you believe entrepreneurship was like during that era? Entrepreneurship during that era had to be a lot of work. Most likely due to lack of infuse structure, technology, and skilled labor. You had to be very hands one, put

in Hawaii; the other four volcanoes are above sea level. Kilauea is a hyperactive shield type volcano. Volcanoes are mainly found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. The Mid Ocean Ridge is an example of divergent tectonic plates pulling apart, where the Ring of Fire is an example of convergent tectonic plates pushing together. Hawaii today is comprised of many different volcanoes with several different volcano types. The Hawaiian Islands spread over 1,500 miles in the
“All the Disappearing Islands” A. Paragraph 1: Introduction Julia Whitty writes about the amazing beauty of Tuvalu Islands B. Paragraphs 2-3: General Idea The general idea is the environmental and cultural impact of melting ice caps on the nation of Tuvalu. Global Warming could cause the sea to expand and rise faster than the corals could fortify themselves against it and Tuvalu could disappear beneath the waves. This not only risks the population of the island but also to the unique
answer the question. His solutions to the Spratly Islands dispute all assume that China will be able to claim EEZs and territorial waters around Mischief Reef and its man-made “features.” However, what these features are, exactly, can’t be overlooked when examining this issue. China began by dredging and dumping sand on a small portion of the slightly submerged reefs and, over the past few years, have transformed it into a full-blown and developed island. The sand has been cemented and paved in order
Since the 3rd Century AD, the South China Sea has been home to countless territorial disputes between China, the Philippines, Vietnam, and other East Asian Nations. This region is so contentious because it is one of the busiest trade routes, and is home to vast natural resources. Because of the long and dense history of them, these disputes are some of the most difficult events to understand and interpret in international relations. Because the disputes deal with relative power, and the security
Discovered in 1535, the Galapagos Islands have been a place of mystery and wonder for centuries. The Galapagos Islands are a group of volcanic islands located approximately 1000 kilometers west of the South American coast on the equator. Thirteen main islands make up the island chain, along with 6 smaller islands and numerous other islets, small rocks, and pinnacles, with a total land surface area of approximately 8,000 square kilometers. The islands are known for their unique species of countless
increase in the South China Sea this in turn has increased potential implications for its environment. One major implication is the potential hazards that are threatening coral reefs and other components of the local marine ecology within that region. The once untouched ecosystem is at danger because of aggressive engagements of ocean floors in search of natural resources. Since 2013, China has orchestrated reclamation constructions on reefs in the disputed Spratly Islands with goals of transforming
boundary has caused the Juan de Fuca plate to subduct under the North American plate. This resulted in 15 composite volcanoes being formed, one of them, Mount St. Helens. Similar to the peru-chile region, the Japanese islands are situated in a subduction zone. In the northwestern margin of the pacific oceans, the pacific plate
transformed into the creatures of my imagination. The lake reflected the worlds psychedelic colors, mystic and free. Just there, across the lane from my palace, dwelled a magnificent floating spiral island. A place only known to my father, little sister and I. Although I was only four, I understood its secrets. The island was magical, including everything that surrounded it. We lived in a hidden area that only the chosen could find. I remember my tan body gliding across the grass of our expansive front yard
