The other species I am focusing on are brown barnacles. Brown barnacles are marine crustaceans and have hexagon shaped shells with an animal living inside it. They are sessile organisms meaning they are fixed in one place on the rocky shore. They are usually found at high tide zones on rocks on rocky shores. According to the data collected from the field trip on the 9th of March 2016‚ 19% of the brown barnacles of the brown barnacles were found at high tide zones‚ 6% at mid tide zones and only 1%

(a) explain why the regions of the world that receive the most direct sunlight contain tropical rain forests I high amount of direct sunlight in this area yields the warmest temperatures. Hadley cells are driven by the direct sunlight as well. This region is in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ)‚ which is at the convergence of two Hadley cells. This is where air rises due to direct solar radiation‚ which causes water vapor to fall back to Earth as rain. (b) explain why there would be large

Red tides have been an ongoing environmental problem for our ocean waters wildlife. Red tide is a phenomenon caused by harmful algal blooms that occur when colonies of algae (simple plants that live in the sea and freshwater) grow so numerous that they discolor coastal waters (resulting in the name “red tide”). These large algal blooms of toxic producing dinoflagellates (single-celled organisms that are able to form nutritional organic substances from inorganic substances) may diminish oxygen in
