How does Different Levels of Pollution in Streams or Ponds Affect Macro invertebrate Species? Organisms without back bones are Macro Invertebrate species (Seminole.Wateratlas.Usf.Edu ‚2012) . These organisms are small but can be seen without a magnifying glass (Waitakere.Govt.Nz ‚ 2002) . Size ranges from 3-20mm long (Waitakere.Govt.Nz ‚ 2002) .Insects‚ crustaceans‚ mollusks‚ worms‚ leeches‚ and anemones are classified a Macro invertebrate species (Waitakere.Govt.Nz ‚ 2002).

Causes of floods Flood is overflow of the huge amount of water onto the normally dry land. Flood occurs when the overflowing water submerges land and causes deluge. It is a cruel and violent expression of water. Catastrophic floods are the floods that are caused by some significant and unexpected events‚ for instance dam breakages. Heavy rainfalls are one of the major causes of floods. The level of water in rivers or lakes rises due to heavy rainfalls. When the level of water rises above the

Introduction: This lab investigates the question‚ what is the water quality of the U-High creek based on micro invertebrates found in the creek? There are many factors that affect the quality of water such as phosphorus and nitrogen levels‚ dissolved oxygen‚ and pH. Phosphorus and nitrogen in water can increase the growth of aquatic plants and algae‚ leading to the decomposition of dead plant material and the removal of dissolved oxygen from water. The total nitrogen concentrations for freshwater

Cause and Effects of the Devastation of Nature The devastation of nature is a global concern nowadays. It is because the changes that’s been done to nature which is caused mostly by human activities. When we pollute the air‚ land and water‚ this harms the nature. Bulldozing wetlands and cutting down forest also destroys the nature. These are only few of the activities that contribute to the devastation of nature. Overgrazing and groundwater pumping are some of the activities that damage

Vernal pools are small‚ isolated wetlands that occur in a forested setting throughout Michigan. Vernal pools are isolated wetlands because they are not permanently connected to other bodies of water. They need to be flooded and dried out long enough and frequently enough‚ to house flora and fauna that have special adaptations for coping with inundation and water drawdown. They are small enough and shaded enough that recognized open-structure natural community type. The amount of water in a vernal

Surface Tension Steven Brignol Dr. Payne September 15 Introduction: Water’s ability to stick to itself is surface tension. In this lab we were able to measure and detect surface tension by dropping water‚ drop by drop‚ onto a penny. The quantity of droplets that fit on the penny was impressive. Hypothesis: The detergent will thicken the water making a tighter surface tension. Prediction: If soap increased the surface tension‚ then expansion will happen. Materials: (1) Pipette (2) Water
