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

In shellfish vanadium bioaccumulates causes concentrations of 105 to106 times greater than the concentration found in seawater. In animals vanadium can cause breathing disorders‚ paralyses‚ failure of the liver and kidneys‚ and can harm the reproductive system in both male and female animals. Vanadium can also cause DNA alterations. Vanadium also has other common forms

Magellan is worth defending because he completed his mission‚ tried to conserve food for everybody‚ and was very smart. The Voyage of Magellan map on Document A states “The Victoria and 18 crew members return to Spain‚ becoming the first ship and crew to circumnavigate the globe.” Magellan’s goal was to circumnavigate the world and get to the spice islands. He basically did exactly that‚ besides the fact that he was killed in the Philippines. In the note on Document B‚ it says “Fearing that his fleet’s

Hagfish are notorious for their defensive slime. They secrete a sugar and protein matrix into the seawater. When expelled‚ it mixes with the saltwater and becomes a slippery slime. Protein strands within the slime make it extremely sticky. Conservation Anything that finds its way into the ocean‚ whether it’s tossed away as trash‚ washes off a beach

If you didn’t know California is in a major drought. It isn’t like half of California it’s 100% of California. It is so bad that farmers have stopped receiving water to water their plants. Even most of the reservoirs in California are only half full. This is the third year with a California drought. A lot of the food we make like tomatoes‚ almonds‚ and broccoli are being affected too. California produces 90% of all the United states tomatoes‚ 95% of the Nation’s broccoli‚ and 99% of the Nation’s

Sandstorm- During the winter‚ big storm winds toss sand into the air exposed areas of sand off the beach and creating sandbars. . Ocean currents- A large movement of seawater in one direction generated by forces such as wind‚ breaking wave‚ Coriolis effect‚ temperature and salinity differences.

Especially in tropical waters such as the infamous Florida Keys. Elevated seawater temperature affects reef-building corals‚ leading to coral bleaching and loss of coloration in coral colonies.

CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF FRESHWATERS Objectives At the end of this section‚ students should be able to 1. Distinguish between freshwaters and seawater in terms of ionic composition. 2. Describe the variation of ionic composition in natural freshwaters and other inland waters. 3. Explain the factors that contribute to such variation. 4. Describe Gibbs’ model that explains the major factors contributing to variation in chemical composition of inland waters. 5. Explain

On March 11‚ a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit Japan and caused tremendous damage to Japan. The earthquake sparked off a 30-foot tsunami within an hour‚ which only compounded the‚ already extensive‚ damage to the country. One of the greatest fears was the potential of a nuclear fall out. Specifically‚ the Fukushima Daiichi power plant was in question. The nuclear plant in Fukushima had six nuclear reactors‚ and three out of six of them were in critical state – possibly melting down. The potential of

These vents are formally defined as "springs of hot‚ mineral- and gas-rich seawater found on some oceanic ridges in zones of active seafloor spreading" (Garrison‚ 2004). Hydrothermal vents are found in ocean basins throughout the world. They are often compared to geysers of the deep ocean. And similar to above-ground geysers
