scientists is supported mainly by carbon isotope evidence collected from the Queen Charlotte Islands‚ British Colombia‚ Canada. The evidence of the carbon isotopes that were unaffected by diagenesis is synchronized with the sudden extinction of marine plankton which leads one to infer that the two extinctions happened around the same time. The scientists also collected “bulk samples of black shale (Ward‚ 2001).” These samples varied from location to location which also contributes to the hypothesis that

adults have about 90 tentacles (Immortal Jellyfish Facts). Turritopsis nutricula are easy to recognize because they have a transparent body with a visible bright red stomach in their bell. Like any other small size jellyfish‚ their main diets are planktons and other microscopic organisms. Normal jellyfish’s life span is about a few hours to a few months‚ and in some rare cases‚ a few years. They often die right after they reproduce. But the immortal jellyfish‚ on the other hand‚ can avoid death by

IMPLICATIONS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Environment can have a major impact on all areas of the society‚ including Business Organization as well as Personal Life-Styles. Two of the major issues that I want to discuss are Global Warming and Acid Rain. Global Warming is also called the greenhouse effect‚ is believed to be caused by changes in the earth ’s atmosphere as a result of industrial processes. Rising global temperatures are expected to raise sea level‚ and change precipitation and

plastic pollution‚ the accumulation in the environment of man-made plastic products to the point where they create problems for wildlife and their habitats as well as for human populations. In 1907 the invention of Bakelite brought about a revolution in materials by introducing truly synthetic plastic resins into world commerce. By the end of the 20th century‚ however‚ plastics were found to be persistent polluters of many environmental niches‚ from Mount Everest to the bottom of the sea. Whether

INTRODUCTION TO MARINE BIOLOGY EK115008S The Deep Sea (2012) It is odd that a planet with 65% of its surface covered by ocean and 57% by 1000+m of deep-sea is called the ‘Earth’. Some 49% of the globe’s surface is 3-6 km below the ocean waves and the average ocean depth is 3.8 km. The deep sea is dark‚ devoid of plants but home to many animals which have been collected on hooks and lines‚ in nets‚ from the stomachs of other deep-sea beasts‚ viewed and photographed from tethered cameras
