Interdependence is the dependence of every living organism on all other living things and natural resources in the environment including, air water, and soil. This includes both abiotic and biotic factors. These organisms need each other to live. Without interdependence, the whole food web would collapse. Mutualism Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship that is beneficial to both species in the relationship.…
I chose to change the inclination to a 75-degree angle for the third lab assignment. If I were a bird researcher studying a population of birds and the earth began to shift to a 75-degree inclination, the biggest change would be a rise in temperature at the latitude marked with the white “X”. At the original 35-degree inclination, the average temps for early spring are mild and as the months continue into summer; the average daily temperatures do not go above what is described as mild and a half. If a gradual shift began towards a 75-degree inclination, you would begin to see a rise in the temperatures for this region. In the early spring, you might still find mild temperatures but as the spring progresses into summer, the temperatures…

In mid-November, 1943 after conducting anti-submarine warfare exercises in Casco Bay, the destroyer U.S.S. Turner left the waters of Maine and steamed south to Norfolk, Va. It would be the last time the ship would ever sail into Casco Bay. Upon arriving at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, TURNER was ordered to escort duty for its third trans-Atlantic convoy of the war. Although it was TURNER’s third trip across the Atlantic, for some of the crew it was their first.…
In the early growth of the city the main issues were getting people to move into Ranger Bay, getting commercial zoning filled, and providing ample room to expand without going into debt. Increasing the population of Ranger Bay was a constant issue throughout the game, but was considerably more difficult in the beginning because of the lack of jobs, schools, and other basic necessities for a city to thrive. Once I put in the airport and connected to the highway in South Ranger City, providing jobs in their industrial center, population rapidly expanded driving up the demand for housing in Ranger Bay. To filling in the central commercial center in Ranger Bay, taxes were lowered to provide incentives to move stores into Ranger Bay instead of…
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.…
The Chesapeake Bay Area continent, is known for having “fresh water, fertile soil, and economical transportation, since that, agriculture, fishing, and hunting” (marinersmuseum.org) is very common. This continent can also be called an “estuary, which is a fresh water and salt water mixed body of water, in fact, it is the largest estuary in the United States” (chesapeakebay.net). Within this continent “Virginia and Maryland make it up and they worship God, in other words their religion is Christianity. North Americans viewed them as a source of gold, wine, citrus fruits, and olive oil. Later, the colony began to grow tobacco” (George Brown Tindall and David Emory Shi 35-41).…
It has a tropical climate & two distinct seasons, winter & summer. The winter temperature of the reef’s surrounding areas is from 14 to 16°C, while the water temperature is 24°C. Additionally, there is little rainfall. In the summer, the surrounding temperature ranges from 24 to 33°C, the water measures…
In the Chesapeake Bay, water is brown but its sediment brown. The water just looks kind of muddy. In our time boating on the Chesapeake, we’ve noticed the stains it leaves on our boat how the water looks kind of dirty. I know of the pollution in the bay and how a great deal of it is from agricultural runoff, so I worry about the brown.…
On the east coast of Virginia lies the Chesapeake Bay, is a 200-mile estuary that stretches from Havre De Grace Maryland to Norfolk Virginia with its own very unique and delicate ecosystem. One ongoing issue that faces the Bay is the harvesting of the oyster reefs. 1 Oysters are natural filters and one oyster can filter an average of 50 gallons of water a day. In this delicate ecosystem oysters offers habitat and food to other sea creatures. The oyster industry has played an important role in the economy of the region as well (Chesapeake Bay Program, 2016).…
Moreton Bay Marine Park is located on the eastern coast of Australia having the surface area of 3400km2 and consists of several islands including Moreton Island, Bribie Island, North and South Stradbroke Island. Moreton bay Marine Park was first established in 1993 to protect the high biodiversity and unique environment whilst still allowing recreational use of the Bay (Department of National Parks, Sports and Racing, 2017). North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah), is one of the islands situated inside the Moreton Bay Marine Park which covers an area of 275.2km2 consisting mostly of sand making it the second largest sand island in the world. Although the entirety of the surface area being sand, the Island displays many diverse habitats, each…
Julia Alvarez’s poem On Not Stealing Louise Bogan’s The Blue Estuaries conveys the speaker’s discoveries—the book, her love for and confidence in reading poetry and her girl’s voice--as surprising and serendipitous. This is conveyed through the use of imagery, figurative language and selection of detail. Imagery is used in the poem to convey the speaker’s discoveries: her love for and confidence in reading poetry. The poem begins with the speaker stumbling upon the book, which she says surprised her. The speaker goes in depth to describe the book, noting its “swans gliding on a blueback lake… posed on a placid lake, your name blurred underwater sinking to the bottom.”…

The ocean is huge, it cover 71% of the Earth’s surface, there is a lot of marine life that live in the ocean. This essay will be talking about the ocean and the many thing about it (for example the life, the water and where the water comes from) and what makes it so interesting. There are a lot of marine life in the ocean. The ocean holds about 20,000 species of fish. Over 1 million species of plants and animals live in the ocean.…
Conclusively, our research cruise information turns out to fall in general terms. However, there is factors that effect the results. One factor that influences the data results is El Nino. What is El Nino? El Nino is "A southward-flowing, nutrient-poor current of flowing, nutrient-poor current of warm water off the coast of western South America, caused by a breakdown of trade-wind circulation.…
