on the western coast. 1. FEATURES OF THE GULF OF THAILAND Some of the physical and chemical features of the Gulf of Thailand include coral reefs‚ mineral resources and water quality. Coral reefs are havens‚ or safe places for many species and organisms. They are sensitive to pollution and are under threat from certain fishing practices. The main factors to coral destruction are the setting up of industrial parks and city expansion activities in the

which extends from the months of November to April. The intensity and duration of these intense low-pressure systems ultimately determines the level of damage inflicted upon the coral. These cyclones are not only associated with strong winds that generate large storm waves that rip apart the softer corals and chip the hard corals‚ but also bring with them large volumes of rain‚ which alter the salinity and turbidity levels within the waters. This ecosystem experiences relatively warm temperatures‚ which

multitude of reasons. First of all‚ chemicals like oxybenzone are detrimental to coral reefs. Research has found that these chemicals can kill of juvenile coral‚ cause color bleaching‚ mutate their DNA‚ and even cause the prevention of new coral buds forming (sunscreen chemical‚ 2014). And without coral reefs‚ scientists are worried about what could occur to the oceanic ecosystem. Beyond the loss of its natural beauty‚ coral reefs are an important “mini-ecosystem.” Reefs provide shelter for some fish

battle of the coral sea was a colossal naval battle between the Imperial Japanese navy and and air forces from the United States and Australia‚ this fight went on from 4 to 8 May in 1942.

Coral reefs are known to protect other sea life such as fish and attract tourists. As the ocean water temperature increases‚ corals are experiencing bleaching by ejecting algae‚ which is what gives them the various colors they are known for (Baird). The death of these precious coral reefs are jeopardizing fishing of those species that live off of coral. Coral reefs also create a “roadblock” in the ocean and without them there

Bleaching of crude palm oil (CPO) Bleaching of crude palm oil will be carried out using a mass ratio of 1 synthesized adsorbent to 11 CPO. The CPO in bottle is well shaken before pouring into beaker with an amount of 110 grams. Magnetic stirrer is put into the beaker contains CPO and continuously stirred until it reaches 100 °C. After that‚ 6 drops of phosphoric acid is added into CPO followed by the addition of 10 grams synthesized adsorbent. The adsorbent must be poured slowly to ensure it mixed
