Iberian Peninsula: Morphostructural Units and Climate Analysis
Morphostructural Units of the Iberian Peninsula
In the document, map 1 shows eight identified locations. For each, we will indicate:
- (a) The morphostructural unit to which it belongs.
- (b) The dominant crag type (siliceous, calcareous, or clay).
- (c) Whether the morphology is ancient, recent, or very recent (with justification if necessary).
- A: Sierra Carrasqueta:
- (a) Subbetic System.
- (b) Predominantly Mesozoic limestones.
- (c) The Subbetic System is somewhat later than the Penibetic, originally beginning
Material Buildings: Structure, Materials, and Properties
Building Structure
Skeleton: The foundation, beams, and pillars form the building’s skeleton.
Enclosures: These protect the building from external atmospheric agents.
Partitions: Walls and dividers constructed from bricks and plaster.
Coatings: Finishes such as paint and roofing.
Natural Stone Materials
Natural stone is categorized by origin:
- Magmatic or Igneous Rocks: Originating from within the earth, these rocks have a grainy texture and are typically light in color and hard.
- Sedimentary Rocks: Formed

Global Biomes: A Journey Through Earth’s Ecosystems
Earth’s diverse landscapes are categorized into biomes, each characterized by specific climate conditions, plant life, and animal adaptations. Let’s explore some of the major biomes:
Mediterranean Forest
The Mediterranean forest biome is found not only around the Mediterranean Sea but also in southern Australia, Chile, and parts of the American Pacific coast, including California. It features a mild climate with hot, dry summers. Some even consider

Healthcare Waste: Concept, Importance, and Classification
Definition: Healthcare waste encompasses all solid, liquid, or gaseous waste generated in a healthcare facility. This includes facilities where activities related to human healthcare take place, such as patient care, analysis, research, teaching, and the procurement and handling of biological products.
Classification of Healthcare Waste

Greece: Architecture
a) Characteristics
- Since the creation of art is linked to human life and the polis, all buildings must be proportional to the scale or measure of man. Therefore, the stones should be perfect (isódomos) and not too large, to avoid unreasonable results in buildings.
- As a material, first used the “pores”, conglomerate or sandstone, then hard limestone and, finally, marble (5th century).
- Architecture lintel (pre-Hellenic art influence), seemingly more serene. Renounce the arch and
Fertilization, Plant Anatomy, Animal Nutrition, and Metazoa
Types of Fertilization
Types of fertilization:
- External without a partner (invertebrates): Gametes are fertilized and float together in the water.
- External with a partner (aquatic mobile species): The female deposits eggs, and the male releases sperm over them.
- Internal with a partner (mammals): Sperm enter the female’s genital tract.
Plant Anatomy Definitions
Definitions:
Root: The underground organ that fixes the plant to the soil. It absorbs water and dissolved mineral salts, forming a fluid called
