improvement of the water’s colour because it would have less insoluble substances such as dirt. The salinity of Waterloo Bay cannot be improved because it is a salt water body. However to improve the salinity of Phillips Creek and Bulimba Creek the roads and other sediment based structures and the infrastructure of nearby drainage need to be regularly maintained to avoid rocks falling into the water. The salinity levels of the water bodies also has the potential to fluctuate due to periods of rainfall which

Westerlies‚ which blow west to east and the Trade Winds‚ which blow east to west. Salinity – The higher the salinity of the water the more dense it becomes. With a high level of salinity the water will sink. This starts a convention current. A convention current is when the cold water sits on top of the warm water (depending on the salinity level)‚ and the flow of the current can be reversed if the density and salinity combined with temperature of the water changes.

The Neritic zone has a fairly constant salinity. In the surface zone is where there is the greatest salinity because of evaporation. The factors that may affect the overall salinity of the Neritic zone our evaporation‚ precipitation‚ and the climate. The average salinity of ocean water is 35 parts per thousand. Ocean water

Human impacts will also be investigated‚ as it has a drastic effect on Method: 1. Measure abiotic features including salinity‚ temperature and dissolved oxygen. This can be done using a datalogger with a temperature and a salinity probe attached and an oxygen meter. Record salinity‚ temperature and dissolved oxygen at three separate sites in the mangrove ecosystem

Salinity‚ temperature and oxygen are all abiotic factors used to help with the growth of this ecosystem. Salinity is a measurement of the amount of salt in the water. To measure the amount of salinity you would use a salinity meter. Using a data logger you can measure the temperature of the water. You set the data logger to record the temperature at what interval

Chapter 1: Geology is the science that studies the history of Earth and its life. Anthropogenic (human generated) activities such as fossil fuel combustion impacting Earth has led to the study of Earth as a series of systems (series of components that interact to produce a larger‚ more complex whole). Geology is the science that examines the evolution of the natural processes on Earth‚ the evolution of life and the evolution of these interactions and how they caused the earth to evolve towards its

The seawater is used in the ship’s system and discharged after the use. However‚ seawater contains several marine organisms which enter the ship along with the seawater and deposit and flourish on the parts of the ship’s system. If preventive measures are not taken‚ the marine growth can cause damage to the particular

Artemia are passive feeding filter‚ they feed by guiding food towards their mouth via a series appendages and digest food through a simple digestive tract. Excess salt water consumed are expelled through gills known as "branchia" (Utah gov). They can be found in inland saltwater systems such as brine pools. Artemia are
