How Acid Rain Affects Organisms in Aquatic Biomes Through the advancement of technology‚ the issue of the air surrounding the earth might have been one of the most often matters to be brought up and discussed among scientists and engineers. Acid rain is one of the more serious environmental problems and it is closely related to the air pollution. Nowadays‚ it has affected large part of US‚ Europe and Canada. People start to be concerned about acid rain since it is getting worse in the passed

species belong to the suborder Odontoceti (toothed whales)‚ which also includes the sperm whale‚ killer whale‚ pilot whale‚ and beluga whale. The suborder Mysticeti (baleen whales)‚ are filter feeders that feed on small organisms caught by straining seawater through a comblike structure found in the mouth called baleen. This suborder contains four families and fourteen species including the blue whale‚ the humpback whale the bowhead whale and the minke whales. Whales range in size from the blue whale

In the article‚ Why are Starfish ‘Melting’‚ by Jane J. Lee‚ they explain that millions of starfish‚ for the past year and a half‚ have had a lethal virus which has turned them to white goo. The virus is a kind of parvovirus‚ which is “the group of viruses that cause gastroinintestical problems in unvaccintated dogs.” Although this virus is killing many starfish there isn’t very much that researchers can to to try to stop it.

organisms that live in the ocean‚ or even what ocean acidification is? First off‚ ocean acidification is a term used to describe significant changes to the chemistry of the ocean. This happens when carbon dioxide is absorbed by the ocean and reacts with seawater to produce acid. Ocean acidification affects many organisms’ homes and shelters. It also destroys many reef ecosystems. Ocean acidification is a bad thing. It’s bad because it affects not only shelled organisms‚ but it also affects reef ecosystems

Geological Drilling Program (ANDRILL). To allow for deeper penetration and more efficient core recovery‚ water-based saline drilling fluids were utilized. A total of 5.6x105 L of fluids was lost in the subsurface. The fluid was comprised of surface seawater from the sound‚ as the wetting agent mixed with densifying compounds (mainly potassium chloride and small amounts of fourteen other compounds including biodegradable organics). When exploring pristine locations a main goal needs to be minimizing

The Carbon Cycle is a complex series of processes through which all of the carbon atoms in existence rotate. The same carbon atoms in your body today have been used in countless other molecules since time began. The wood burned just a few decades ago could have produced carbon dioxide which through photosynthesis became part of a plant. When you eat that plant‚ the same carbon from the wood which was burnt can become part of you. The carbon cycle is the great natural recycler of carbon atoms. Unfortunately

Saline Salt Company Analysis The Saline Salt Company production process was simple. Their process involved extracting salt from six tanks of 900‚000 cubic feet of seawater which could only be held on a large plot of land. As land becomes more valuable and rarer‚ expansion of the existing method becomes very difficult. Saline Salt Company could not compete with other companies that were producing larger amounts of salt in shorter amounts of time. Saline Salt Company did not expand as the needs

erupted. The wildly hollering storm which would not subside for days‚ made the pilgrims stay below the deck. The deck quickly became over crowded‚ stinky‚ loud‚ and noisy with the cries of little ones. The cracks in the deck boards leaked cold‚ salty seawater. The pilgrims got soaked and shivered. They were also absolutely terrified. Before long‚ Goodman John Howland got tired of being cramped up in the damp‚ stinky holding below deck. So he presumed he could climb up to the deck to get away from
