This article “ Water on Mars” by Jennifer Barone is about NASA find water on Mars. The NASA know that their is freezing water on mars but never find liquid water. NASA announced that they find liquid water and something that is related to a small living thing on mars. In 2010 a college student was studying the red planet and he find dark streaks on sloped surface on the red planet. Scientist say that is possible that some kind of living thing could survive on the red planet.…
As evident in figure 7, there are minimal “edges” to the rocks. Most, rather, are smoothed over. This type of physical weathering is a result of glacial activity that occurred ten to fifteen thousands of years ago during the Pleiothestine Epoch. As a one mile thick glacier, the Laurentide Ice Sheet retreated Northward over the surface of the rock, it smoothed edges, and created scratches in the rock, as evident in figure 2. A similar type of weathering also occurred on the white mountains.…
Something so little changes into a huge major disaster, ruining the city of Chicago. Before this event the climate was very dry leading to hazards in the night. The Chicago Fire of 8171, occurred from October 8 to October 10th in or around a barn located O’Leary at 137 DeKoven Street on the property of Patrick and Catherine. Nothing was known to happen before this significant accident. Research shows that a cow kicked over a lantern in the barn, this lantern was on spreading the fire very quickly through the city.…
The connection between my article Mars, the red planet and The Martian by Andy Weir is that Mark Watney uses Mars’s two moons Phobos and Deimos to help him travel to the Pathfinder so he can communicate with NASA for help. When he travels at night he can’t see any of the landmarks like the craters to help him know the direction he is going so he uses Phobos and Deimos to help him travel. “Mars doesn’t have a magnetic field. So I navigate by Phobos. It whips around Mars so fast it actually rises and sets twice a day, running west to east.…
Methods Study Area East Harbor is a 291-ha back-barrier salt marsh and coastal lagoon located within the Cape Cod National Seashore (CCNS), N.Truro, Massachusetts (Thiet et al. 2014a). East Harbor was artificially isolated from Cape Cod Bay in 1868 when the original 300-m wide inlet was diked due to the construction of a causeway for use by trains and automobiles (Portnoy et al. 2005). In 1894, a drainage system was installed that allowed freshwater to escape the system (Portnoy et al. 2006), but sea water could not enter the system due to a one way flapper valve (Portnoy, 2005; Smith & Medeiros, 2013). The exclusion of the tides caused the salinity to decline from 25-30 parts per thousand (ppt) into brackish water with a salinity of around…
Salt at Bargara is located Corner Bauer Street and The Esplanade. (Refer to appendix 4) It is opposite the turtle park and the access to the beach. There is two other cafe’s/restaurant around the business, and a takeaway store next door. With the business located directly opposite from the beach, it attracts a lot of customers to come and sit, to be able to watch the ocean.…
"No temple made with bare hands can compare with Yosemite. Every rock in its walls seems to glow with life." John Muir stated this in describing Yosemite's beauty in 1868. Yosemite is a breathtaking national park.…
1.The increase in salinity is the main cause because of the problems of the faraway locations and because of the local cities waste that runoffs causing an accumulation of nutrients leading to salinity and even eutrophication. Which has caused deaths of fish and birds. As well as embryo defects to the fish residents of the Salton Sea. Making the Salton Sea a death trap instead of a safe substitution of the past wetlands. 2.…
It’s nothing but a vast deposit of salt and minerals that have run down from the canyon sides. The Basin is two-hundred-seventy-nine feet below sea level, or about ninety three yards. At first glance, it appears as if the Valley finally received some snow. The monochromatic ground is only distinguishable by its varying textures. Some areas look like the doing of a six-year old who rummaged the recycling bin: hexagonal Styrofoam plates, arrayed like tiles, are grouted together by shaving cream.…
Death Valley is located in the Mojave Desert in California. It functions as a national park and is part of the National Park System. Despite being the hottest and driest place in North America with temperatures reaching up to 134 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, there is a good amount of vegetation. The vegetation in Death valley includes mostly succulents and drought resistant plants. Basically, plants that have adapted to desert conditions thrive in Death Valley.…
The Salton Sea is one of North America's largest saline lakes, which was re-created by a levee break of the Colorado River in 1905. Historic evidence show that the Colorado River had spilled over several other times. By the time they were finally able to stop the breach in 1907, a 45 miles long and 20 miles wide salt water lake the Salton Sea had formed. The Salton Sea quickly became a tourist destination. According to an article in The Associated Press, racing became very popular in the late 1920's the "high salinity made boats more buoyant and, at more than 200 feet below sea level the barometric pressure improved performance.…
This transportation of water and exchanged energy converts from one state to another driving the climate and weather system. This is the largest chemical flux on the planet It does not look like there is a starting point for this cycle. Water stores in lakes and the ocean, transpires into the air creating condensation, precipitation back onto the planet's surface creating runoff, running into the ground creating ground water, and eventually making its way back to lakes and the ocean. This terrestrial system is continuous supporting life on the planet.…

When the mound of water has reached the highest point is called high tide. On the side of the earth opposite the moon, the centrifugal force caused by the earth's rotation produces another mound of water and high tide on the opposite side of the earth. Somewhere in between these two high tides are two flat areas on the surface of the ocean, these are called low tides. The earth's nearby moon is about 2.17 tines as effective as the m ore massive sun in raising tides on the earth, even though the sun exerts a much greater total force on the earth than does the moon.…
