    Charles Darwin

    Charles was born in England on the 12th february 1809.He also died on April 19th 1882.
    Charles was famous for his work on the nature section.His idea was that all species of life have evolved over time from our very old ancestors.This involves favourable things becoming more popular in successive generations of living things while at the same time unfavourable things become less popular every day.Not only did Charles develop the idea of nature section, he also presented unbelievable evidence from his important research which included a five year adventure.On this adventure, Charles
    visited lots of country's/regions such as Brazil, Chile, Australia, the Falkland Islands and the Galapagos Islands.His adventure was so big it was like a around-the-world adventure.

  8. Charles Darwin
    Darwin was an inquisitive man. Sure he was curious about all of that science stuff, but he's also a guy when he saw strange animals, he often wondered what they would taste like. The difference between Darwin and the rest of us is that he actually ate them! Charles was born on the 12th of February 1809 and he died on the 14 April 1882. Charles had a daughter named Annie who was born on 2 March 1841 and was devastated when she died on the 23 April 1851 not much later than her 10th birthday!!!

    Antartic
    The sea's around the Antartic are full of life and there are Whales ,seals ,krill and birds like penguins but the penguins dont realy live in the water because the just jump in the water and not live in the water. the antartic blizzards are realy bad for the animals that live on land.

  16. The desert is a region of extremes. It is usually extremely dry, extremely remote and extremely hot. It can also be extremely cold at night especially in the winter extremely windy especially in the summer and prone to flash flooding in the spring.The desert is the hottest habitat on earth. It can be over 100 degrees Farenheit during the day and drop below 32 degrees Farenheit at night. This change happens because deserts are bare. There is little protection to keep them from heating up in the sun and cooling off when the sun disappears at night.

    There is little rain in a desert, However, when it does rain, it pours Violent rainstorms can cause flashfloods in the desert. After a storm, the desert may not see any rain for weeks or months. Sometimes rainstorms fail to wet the desert floor. The rain may turn to vapor before it reaches the extremely hot ground.

    Deserts can be sandy, stony or covered in pebbles. The land can be flat or have rolling hills. It can have cliffs, canyons and unique rock formations. Some lie below sea level and others rest up on plateaus and mountains.


    Deserts have different climates because their locations vary. The seashore deserts are among the driest on earth eventhough they are next to an ocean. The surface of a desert may be dry as bone but there may be water deep beneath it. Water seeps through the soil from higher elevations and underground streams may flow from caves and hidden springs.

    There are two types of deserts hot and cold. Hot deserts receive what little moisture they get in the form of rain. Cold deserts receive their moisture in the form of snow.
