incredibly large number of these species they produce around 50% of the world’s oxygen. Also some land animals are dependent on the sea as drinking and fishing grounds. Occasionally around the Equator an ‘El Nino’ happens. Usually this is caused by strong winds moving from East to West along the Equator. This actually piles up water in the western side of the Pacific. In the eastern part the deeper water‚ which is far colder than that on the surface (which is warmed by

begins to disintegrate. The centrioles in animal cells‚ fungi‚ algae and some other ferns double and a pair move toward each pole and the chromosomes begin to move toward the equator of the cell. The second stage is called the metaphase. In this stage the centrioles move to the poles. The chromosomes line up at the equator of the spindle and the spindle fibers are attached to the centromeres connecting them to the poles of the spindle. The third stage is called the anaphase. By this time‚ the

A few degrees warmer in Europe‚ or Minnesota might not be too tragic‚ but residents near the equator would undoubtedly disagree. A temperature increase on the Sahara desert‚ or anywhere along the equator would have definite tragic results. Next the exuberant‚ expressive‚ and over-joyed professor Phillip Scott‚ when

the Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current in the North Atlantic flowing from the Gulf of Mexico‚ northeast along the U.S coast‚ and from there to the British Isles. The Gulf of Mexico has higher air temperatures than Britain as it is closer to the equator. This means that the air coming from the Gulf of Mexico to Britain is also warm. However‚ the air is also quite moist as it travels over the Atlantic ocean. This is one reason why Britain often receives wet weather. Surface ocean currents can

Introduction: The Trichoptera‚ or caddisflies‚ are an ecologically diverse order of insects. The adults resemble small moths and are terrestrial‚ while their larvae are aquatic and spin silk (Bongard 2004). It is due to their diverse designs in the secretion of silk threads that they are able to expand their ecological niches. The silk threads of the larvae are used to create shelters‚ nets‚ and cases- adopting an evolutionary system to exploit a wide range of resources (Vaughn 1985). There are about

seasons‚ animals‚ fires‚ spreading of diseases‚ and floods. The reason Africa is the best example of latitude is because the equator runs directly through the middle of Africa causing any climate changes to happen in both north and the south of the equator. Latitude has a major effect on the climate zones and amount of rain parts of Africa receive. The climate near the equator is tropical meaning it is hot and gets a lot of rain more than 180 days out of the year. The deserts in Africa are the most
