on earth. A major cyclone may release energy at the rate equal to 25 hydrogen bombs every second. In the eastern hemisphere‚ tropical cyclones are called typhoons‚ from the Chinese ‘tai fung’‚ and in the west they are known as hurricanes. 4. Seawater needs to be at a temperature of at least 270C for a tropical cyclone to form. Water vapor condenses into clouds and the air begins to rotate. The atmospheric pressure falls quickly and the wind speeds increase. Around the eye-the center- of the cyclone

Invertebrate Zoology Invertebrate Diversity‚ Body Plans & Evolutionary Relationship Life is originated from the oceans. It is because of the properties of air. When animals moved to land‚ they made pre-adaptation that made transitions from seawater habitants to other habitats. The oldest known fossil of multicellular animals which were the metazoans was found and studied 543 to 635 million years ago. Many animals were soft-bodied and others had hard parts but their most visible and noticeable

price must be paid for its use. Generally‚ the greater the scarcity of an eco¬nomic good‚ the greater its value or price occurs. If a good is useful and scarce but not transferable‚ it loses its value as an eco¬nomic good. For example‚ the gold in seawater is not an economic good‚ because the cost of extracting it is prohibitive. Certain minerals and metals known to be present in Antarctica are not economic goods at this time because there is as yet no way to extracting and transferring them to a place

The intent of this experiment is to demonstrate the formations of the world oceans and why they are salty. I hope to learn more about the formations of the world oceans and what causes the oceans to be salty. Based on my research‚ I know that if salty water was put on black paper and left outside in the sun‚ the water would evaporate but the salt crystals would stay. The salt would not evaporate because it is a solid. Knowing this I formed a hypothesis‚ being‚ if salty water was poured on black paper
