The idea of an ocean’s surface with a red hue may seem like a very amazing phenomena but in fact it’s quite the opposite. Red tides are becoming more and more harmful to not just the sea life it’s consumes but to us humans as well.

Soil Characteristics Background Soil consists of the weathered‚ unconsolidated material on top of bedrock that contains organic material. Although these characteristics of soil seem rather invaluable‚ soil is necessary to support life‚ thereby making it very important to human survival. Soil has three main textures: clay‚ sand‚ and silt‚ all of which can be determined through their porosity or permeability. Porosity is the measure of space between soil particles. If spaces are completely compacted
