The Indian Ocean tsunami traveled as much as 3‚000 miles (nearly 5‚000 kilometers) to Africa‚ arriving with sufficient force to kill people and destroy property. By the end of the day more than 150‚000 people were dead or missing and

Harbor Seals Harbor seals inhabit the costal regions of the North Pacific and Atlantic oceans‚ and the Arctic regions. They can dive to 1450 feet and stay submerged for 25 minutes. The harbor seal weighs around 180 pounds and are six feet in length. Pups weigh about 24 pounds at birth. Harbor seal pups appear skinny when born and make sounds like they are crying. Harbor seals inhabit areas that are also frequented by humans and are easily disturbed. When disturbed the mothers sometimes abandon

Ice Water Fish Vs. Room Temp Fish INTRODUCTION Fish‚ being an aquatic animal‚ has a respiratory system that is different from animals that live on land. It is capable of breathing underwater‚ without coming up for oxygen. Fish are able to breathe underwater due to a breathing organ known as gills; which is made up of thin feathery sheets of tissue membrane containing many blood vessels through which oxygen passes allowing fish to breathe (Edmonson 2006). Fish breathe by the process of water

The Physics Of Scuba Diving: Swimming with the Fish Have you ever wondered what it would be like to swim with the fish and explore the underwater jungle that covers two-thirds of the earth ’s surface? I have always been interested in water activities; swimming‚ diving and skiing‚ and I felt that scuba was for me. My first dive took place while on a family vacation. I came across a dive shop offering introductory dives‚ which immediately caught my interest. After much convincing (my

to career diving. Scuba Diving is just not a swim in the water‚ scuba requires certification‚ uses technical equipment‚ and there is a lot of risk involved with scuba diving. Scuba‚ which is actually an acronym for "self-contained breathing apparatus"‚ Allows divers to dive deeper and stay submerged longer. Scuba comes a long way from other forms of diving by using an air-tank and regulator. This is what allows them to stay under longer and dive deeper. Scuba originally began with military
