Chapter 1 1. INTRODUCTION Fishing‚ serves as one of the primary source of food and living for many Filipinos due to the Philippines archipelagic location. Furthermore‚ the tourism industry has been providing jobs making many locals be dependent on the marine environment for their everyday living. La Union‚ the “Surfing Capital of the North” is known for its massive waves perfect for the water sport that is surfing. Likewise‚ it is also known to be involved in the fishing industry. Fishermen

a certain phrase and technique in which they use that is called‚ electromechanically mediated seawater desalination. Pressure desalination also known as reverse osmosis desalination requires low pressures which in turn requires less energy. Although not widely used desalination of water could provide water by using thermal‚ pressure‚ and electrical methods. Thermal desalination plants‚ separate seawater

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. 5. The thermocline is the transition layer between the mixed layer at the surface and the deep water layer. The definitions of these layers are based on temperature. 6. A halocline is a subtype of chemocline caused by a strong‚ vertical salinity gradient within a body of water. Because salinity (in concert with temperature) affects the density of seawater‚ it can play

Billions of years ago planet Earth did not look like it does today‚ it was covered in lava and volcanoes. There was no possible way that life could exist on the planet. However‚ eventually the planet started cooling down; huge amounts of steam rose causing clouds. Then the clouds rained. One thousand years of continuous raining caused oceans which made earth like it is today. Planet Earth‚ also known as the blue planet‚ has oceans covering three quarters of the Earth’s surface. Oceans have a

The Fukushima Nuclear Plant The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was built in Okuma‚ Fukushima‚ to provide Japan with electricity. The plant consists of six nuclear reactors that were built during different times in the 1970s. The reactors were built close together primarily because finding a new location would make a new reactor very expensive‚ compared to the addition of a new reactor. The plant was constructed near the sea because nuclear plants consumes massive amount of waters just

A careful examination of the " The Great Gatsby"‚ by F. Scott Fitzgerald reveals that his intention was to satirize the Corruption of society. Set in the core of America‚ Fitzgerald portrays a hedonistic society decaying in morals and consumed in materialism‚ he expresses this through the symbolism of colour and nature. Likewise‚ The critic‚ J.S Westbrook suggests the failure of American society are " symbolized by two patterns of reference one revolves around the problem of seeing‚ the other around

natural functioning of stream and river ecosystems and threaten migratory species such as salmon. Estuaries: is a transition area between river and sea. Seawater flows up the estuary channel during a rising tide and flows back down during the falling tide. Salinity varies spatially within estuaries‚ from nearly that of fresh water to that of seawater. Estuarine flow patterns combined with the sediments carried by river and tidal waters create a complex network. Intertidal zones: periodically submerged
