Evolution is most commonly defined as a change in allelic (varieties of genes) frequencies in a population over time. In other words, evolution encompasses a series of mechanisms that lead to changes in the relative proportion of different types of genes contained in a population where these changes persist from one generation to another.

The weather in Greater London had been unusually cold for several weeks leading up to the event. Because of the cold weather, households were burning more coal than usual to keep warm. The smoke from approximately one million coal-fired stoves, in addition to the emissions from local industry, was released into the atmosphere.

Deception Island is part of the South Shetland Islands and lies approximately 60 miles (150 Km) north of the Antarctic Peninsula across the Bransfield Strait. The island is ring-shaped (roughly circular with with a flooded interior), from 7-10 miles across.

Bernard Tellegen was born 24 June 1900 in the Netherlands. He attended Delft University, where he obtained his degree in electrical engineering in 1923. In 1924 he entered into the service of the Philips Research Laboratories. These laboratories had been founded in 1914 by Holst and Oosterhuis. Tellegen belonged to a fairly small nucleus (van der Pol, de Groot, Penning, Druyvestein, Bouwers) around which one of the largest research centers in the world would grow.

Energy return on investment (EROI) is the ratio of the energy extracted or delivered by a process to the energy used directly and indirectly in that process. A common related term is energy surplus, which is the gross amount of energy extracted or delivered, minus the energy used directly and indirectly in that process. EROI is a dimensionless number, while energy surplus refers to an actual physical quantity of energy.

The landforms that are found on the surface of the Earth can be grouped into 4 categories:

Structural Landforms - landforms that are created by massive earth movements due to plate tectonics. This includes landforms with some of the following geomorphic features: fold mountains, rift valleys, and volcanoes.
