Ever since I was old enough to talk‚ I have always loved animals and have always loved learning about them. Even though I have a strong love for animals‚ I have always wanted to be a doctor. Until now. I recently discovered the career of a Marine Biologist. A marine Biologist is someone who studies life in the oceans and other saltwater environments. That includes all animals and all plants that thrive in these places. I have also dreamed of going to Indiana University and pursuing my medical dream

Robert McCauley and his counterparts of Curtin University in Perth‚ Australia‚ discovered seven definite fish choruses‚ occurred mainly at dawn and at dusk ; by recording

1. Thermal inertia is a measure of the thermal mass and the velocity of the thermal wave which controls the surface temperature of a material. In heat transfer‚ a higher value of the volumetric heat capacity means a longer time for the system to reach equilibrium. 2. The ocean acts as a massive heat-retaining solar panel. 3. Salinity‚ temperature and depth all affect the density of seawater. 4. A pycnocline is the cline or layer where the density gradient (∂ρ⁄∂z) is greatest within a body of water

Explain the cause of sea level change and the formation of resultant coastal landforms. (15) There are a number of factors that contribute to long and short-term variations in sea level. Short term variations generally occur on a daily basis and include waves‚ tides‚ or specific flood events‚ such as those associated with a winter snow melt‚ or hurricanes or other coastal storms. Long term variations in sea level occur over various time scales‚ from monthly to several years‚ and may be repeatable

specifically‚ which are a top rank predator. Killing these animals in this way prevents us from being able to harvest them and can change the ecosystem depending on the fish. The next destructive is the Stern Trawling. This is destructive due to the method of capture‚ in the sea for long periods of time. While this might seem beneficial as it can catch more fish‚ it may catch sea mammals or endangered creatures that aren’t intended for capture. It has a low accuracy of the specific creature to be

Wetland Classification National Wetlands Classification Standard 4 goals: To provide a standard way of describing ecological units To characterize units in a frame work that will aid in natural resources management Identify classification units for inventory and mapping Provide uniformity in concepts and terminology Wetlands assigned a code‚ e.g. L1UB1Hx Broadest classification describes the system level The term system refers here to a complex of wetlands and deepwater habitats that share the influence

Purple Shore Crabs‚ Hemigrapsus nudus‚ are small crabs that are similar in structure to true crabs. They have carapaces that are commonly found to be 4-5.6 cm. A distinguishing characteristic of the Purple Shore Crabs is their lack of setae. They are usually found to be dark purple‚ olive green or red with white or cream marks‚ on their carapace. Their legs match the color of their carapace but have white tipped claws. Though Purple Shore Crabs are capable of living out of water for several
