muds deposited under anoxic conditions in quiet shallow water environments‚ such as lagoons and lakes. Type II are known as exinite which are the most common and are usually formed in marine environments‚ exinites are mixtures of phytoplankton‚ zooplankton‚ and microbial organic matter under reducing conditions‚ but they also be formed from higher plant debris. Exinite yield hydrocarbons lower than lignite but it still produced oil shales of commercial value and sourced a large number of oil and gas

Thermohaline Ocean Circulation #1- What is The Thermohaline Ocean Circulation concept? The Thermohaline Ocean Circulation is when the circulation of the ocean is caused by heat and freshwater in the sea’s surface. This causes the mixing of heat and salt in the ocean. Thermo is temperature and haline is salt. Temperature and salt are the two factors that determine the sea’s density. The circulation causes differences in seawater density. The circulation also causes warm water from the southern hemisphere

that removes salt from sea waters is the desalination of sea waters to breed freshwater. This process of converting seawater to clean water has caused an answer too many countries. Countries from the Middle East where there is a massive crisis of clean water‚ they are recurring to this cost-effective process to the solution of the water crisis. Humans cannot drink salty water‚ but saline water can be made into freshwater‚ which people need every day to live. The process is called desalination‚ and

Thus wetlands include areas of marsh‚ fen‚ bog‚ flood plain‚ and shallow coastal areas. Wetland area is characterized by sluggish or standing water that can create an open water habitat for wildlife.

With almost 60 percent of all Canadians living in this area (Clarke‚ 2015)‚ the Great Lakes- St. Lawrence Lowlands is the best place to live in Canada because of the relatively mild temperatures‚ the fertile soil‚ and the surplus of freshwater. Since the Great Lakes- St. Lawrence Lowlands is located at the southernmost point of Canada‚ the temperatures there are among the highest in Canada.
