Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, on February 12, 1809. he came from a wealthy family and never had to work. He studied medicine and theology. In 1831 he graduated from University of
Cambridge with a degree of theology. He began a career as a scientist quite by chance.
On December 27, 1831, 22 years old Charles Darwin joined the crew of the HMS Beagle as a naturalist. The five years expedition collectedhy drographic, geologic, and meteorologic data from South America and many other regions around the world. Darwin‟s own observation on this voyage led to his theory of natural selection.
Charles Darwin was greatly influenced by the geologist Adam Sedgwick and naturalist John Henslow in his development of the theory of natural selection, which was to become the foundation concept supporting
the theory of evolution. darwin „s theory holds that environmental effect lead to varying degrees of reproductive success in individuals and groups of organisms. Natural selection tends to promote adaption in organisms when necessary for survival. This revolutionary theory was published in 1859 in Darwin‟s now famous On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.

The following text is for question 29 to 32.
Geyser
A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of high temperatures and Increased pressure beneath the surface of the earth. Since temperature rises approximately 10ºF for every
sixty feet under the earth's surface, and pressure increases with depth, the water that seeps down in crack and fissures until it reaches very hot rock In the earth interior becomes heated to temperature In excess of
290°F. Because of the greater pressure, the water shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and hot water , The result is a geyser In order to function, then a geyser must
have a source of heat, reservoir where water can be stored until the temperature rises to an unstable point, an opening through which the hot water and steam can escape, and underground channels for resupplying water after an eruption.
Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the world Including New Zealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most famous geyser in the world is Old Faith-full in Yellow Park. Old Faithful' erupts almost every hour, rising to a height of 125 to
170 feet and expelling more than ten thousand gallons during each eruption.

eyelids. They had thick tails that comes to a point. Leopard geckos have small thin toes that do not have pads. This makes It difficult for them to do vertical climbing. Their skin is scaly and colorful. Geckos have black spots and wide black bands.
Leopard geckos are natively found in the deserts of western India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
They live in dry areas and prefer rocky floors or semi-arid grasslands. Leopard geckos are nocturnal, spending the daytime hours under rocks or inside underground caves in the daytime. Geckos love the heat,
preferring temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees
Leopard geckos have adapted well to dry, hot climates. They are nocturnal. Instead of coming out of the daytime to soak up the warmth of the sun, they are able to absorb the heat from the rocks under which they hide. Another adaptation that helps the leopard gecko survive is Its ability to store fat and nutrients In its tail at times when food is hard to find.
The leopard gecko has a fairly typical lizard-life cycle with the exception of their eggs. While most geckos have hard-shelled eggs, leopard gecko's eggs are soft-shelled.
