Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes This method of harvesting from nature’s provision, however, is not only the oldest known subsistence strategy, but also the one that has been practiced continuously in some

parts of the world for at least the last two million years It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and very crude methods for the domestication of animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago

Because hunter-gathers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in the marginal wastelands In higher latitudes, the shorter growing season has restricted the availability of plant life Such conditions have caused a greater

dependence on hunting and, along the coasts and waterways, of fishing The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants In short the environment differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies

Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors We know from

observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile Following the food supply can be a way of life If a particular kind of wild herding animal is the basis of the food for a group of people, those people must move to stay within reach of those animals For many of the native people of the great central plains of North America, following the buffalo, who were in turn following the growth of grazing foods, determining their way of life

For gathering societies, seasonal changes mean a great deal While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp When the food in

the area is exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site We also notice a seasonal migration pattern evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practiced by humankind during the Paleolithic Period

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Although only a small percentage of the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by the Sun is ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the amount that is emitted would be enough to cause severe damage to most forms of life on Earth were it all to reach the surface of the Earth Fortunately, all of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation does not reach the Earth because of a layer of oxygen, called the ozone layer, encircling the Earth in the stratosphere

at an altitude of about 15 miles above the Earth The ozone layer absorbs much of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation and prevents it from reaching the Earth

Ozone is a form of oxygen in which each molecule consists of three atoms (O3) instead of the two atoms (O2) usually found in an oxygen molecule Ozone forms in the stratosphere in a process that is initiated by ultraviolet radiation from the Sun UV radiation from the Sun splits oxygen molecules with two atoms into free oxygen atoms, and each of these unattached oxygen atoms then joins up with an oxygen molecule

to form ozone UV radiation is also capable of splitting up ozone molecules; thus, ozone is constantly forming, splitting and reforming in the stratosphere When UV radiation is absorbed during the process of ozone formation and reformation, it is unable to reach Earth and cause damage there

Recently, however, the ozone layer over parts of the Earth has been diminishing Chief among the culprits in the case of the disappearing ozone, those that are really responsible, are the chloroflurocarbons (CFCs) CFCs meander up from the Earth into the stratosphere, where they break down and release chlorine The released chlorine reacts with ozone in the stratosphere to form chlorine monoxide (CIO) and oxygen (O2) The chlorine then becomes free to go through the cycle over and over again One chlorine atom can, in fact, destroy hundreds of thousands of ozone molecules in this repetition cycle, and the effects of this destructive process are now becoming evident

A: is only a fraction of the Sun’s electromagnetic radiation

A: consists of two oxygen atoms
