  1. Possible Environmental and Ecological Damages Due to Possible Future Kratom Ban

    Problem Identification The FDA asserts that the prohibition of kratom is due to its addictive, abuse-prone, and hazardous properties. 44 fatalities with the presence of kratom occurred between 2011 and 2017. In the majority of those instances, there was no evidence that kratom contributed to or caused mortality. The evidence was too sketchy, in that the FDA’s proposed ban has been rejected by the DEA, WHO, and the UN. Nobody outside of the FDA is certain of the reasons why it wants to outlaw kratom so badly that it hasn't given up trying to propose a national and international outlaw since 2016.

  6. Fukushima Earthquake And Tsunami 2011

    Around the globe scientists and organisations have attempted to develop method of detecting earthquakes so that maximum damage can be prevented. Currently, around the globe seismometers, sea walls and building modeling are used to detect earthquakes through the readings of seismic waves. This scientific solution has potential to minimise damage from earthquakes and tsunamis around the globe if implemented correctly and its negatives minimized. The Application of Science To Detect Earthquakes and Consequently Prevent Damage-Seismometers Earthquakes can be detected by measuring the frequency of the seismic waves in a particular area using a scientific device such as a seismometer.

IB Geography encourages its students to build an international and global awareness throughout the course and to acquire an understanding of alternative ideas and approaches. IB Geography will cover both human and physical geography and you'll be looking at key contemporary issues in the subject such as sustainability and climate change at a variety of locations. The subject is organised into core and option modules and the core is based around the concept of the UN's Millennium Development Goals; this means you'll cover Population in Transition, Disparities in Wealth and Development, Patterns in Environmental Quality and Sustainability, and Patterns of Resource Consumption. There are 7 optional topics which include Hazards and Disasters, Oceans and their Coastal Margins and Extreme Environments.

At the Higher level there is an extension which covers another 7 compulsory topics. There is a fieldwork element which will be at the local scale and must be related to one of the topics you cover. The report from this forms part of the internal assessment. The external assessment is completed by a series ofexaminations and you'll need to build your exam technique and written style.
