Challenging Intersections

As we emphasize the transference of energy and how the transference may contribute to physical changes in matter, it is easy to forget that we need to be able to apply our understanding to the broader world, as well as to specific, concrete examples. Thus the challenge : select an specific instance in the ecological environment where heat transference occurs, and then--using at least two scholarly articles--discuss in a post how this heat transference affects the ecological economy (i.e. 'web of life'). Second to that, review a fellow student's posting, including articles, and respond with a constructive critique by commenting on their post. As always, cite resources in MLA format.
