1) which of the three types of fingerprints was the fingerprint that you examines (loop, arch, or whorl)? within that print, what minutiae did you see?
2) compare the print of your with your own. describe the similarities and differences between the two fingerprints.
3) imagine that you are alphonse bertillon and you are trying to explain why you think fingerprints can be so useful to solve crimes. what would you say to persuade them? pretend you are explaining to someone who has never noticed fingerprints or thought about what they are.

emerald ash borer

the emerald ash borer is a green buprestid or jewel beetle native to north-eastern asia that feeds on ash species. females lay eggs in bark crevices on ash trees, and larvae feed underneath the bark of ash trees to emerge as adults in one to two years. hope this !

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
