“Roof of the World” Largest and Highest ever exist on Earth Average height 16,400 ft

A New Approach for Modeling Gas Geochemistry• Despite the fact that gas formation is a more complex process than oil formation, the geochemical techniques currently employed for natural gas exploration are still relatively simplistic• In contrast to oil which is generated in the so-called "thermal oil window", natural gas is generated throughout the entire thermal evolution of sedimentary basins (Figure 2C)• The combination of kinetics theory with laboratory experimental data allows for the development of a more accurate model of natural gas generation• This approach enables forward predictions to be made for specific basins based upon the source rock type and the thermal history of the basin• Integration of kinetic model results into basin models provides a powerful tool for understanding natural gas formation, minimizing exploration risk, and maximizing realized gas resourcesFigure 2C: Conceptual Model of Natural Gas Generation in Petroleum Systems

“… exterior temperature in Dubai ranges from 60 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit “(Perman). As you can see a lot of development has been happening in Dudai…

Hmmmm, what is it?

“… ski area remains a constant 28 degrees…The walls have several layers of insulation and 23 blast coolers. Two feet of snow pack lies underneath a layer of fresh powder that is replenished every night by mimicking mother nature” (Perman).

NY Standards Standard 3: Geography use a variety of intellectual skills to demonstrate their understanding of the geography of the interdependent world in which we live-local, national, and global-including the distribution of people, places, and environments over the Earth's surface. Key Idea 1: Geography can be divided into six essential elements which can be used to analyze important historic, geographic, economic, and environmental questions and issues. These six elements include: the world in spatial terms, places and regions, physical settings (including natural resources), human systems, environment and society, and the use of geography. (Adapted from The National Geography Standards, 1994: Geography for Life)

NY Core Curriculum B. Geography 1. Elements of geography a. Human geography b. Physical geography c. Political geography d. Migration e. Trade f. Environment and society g. The uses of geography 2. Critical thinking skills a. Asking and answering geographic questions 3. Identifying & defining world regions
