Body of water

are limited to the “splash zones” of the intertidal areas around the island of Guam, so that they can avoid desiccation. The fish, however, seemed to be terrestrial and would almost never return to the water. The fish spend most of their time feeding on rocks and other areas that are out of the water. Scientists are interested in studying the Pacific leaping blenny because it is a…

Interpretation Acid-mine drainage occurs when sulfide-bearing waste rock and tailings come in contact with waters containing dissolved oxygen. The resulting oxidation reactions release associated metals and acidity, which may impact the biological community and significantly lower the pH of downstream waterways (Army, 2010). Released metals that are transported downstream may be removed from solution through precipitation of and sorption onto iron and manganese hydroxides. Attenuation of metals…

its mountains, lakes, and parks for so many reasons. First Alabama’s remarkable landscaping as in mountains make this such a wonderful place. When walking the landscape and seeing all the beautiful scenery nothing, but peace will run through your body and somehow bring about joy. Something about the high grounds seem to put the soul at ease, it could be the freshness of the air, or maybe even the things that surround a person while they are up. The whole atmosphere is different from the…

me and the land. I could sense the chilled ground beneath me, the grass, rough and shaggy, much like uncombed hair. Unkempt. I could see the wind blow through the tufts of grass, creating ripples much like when a pebble is thrown into a calm body of water. Slowly but surely making its way through.…

affect the population size and density of seahorses, but also keeps them in check. Seahorses are small animals that live in the tropical or temperate coastal waters of the ocean and inhabit plants such as mangroves, eelgrass, or coral. The average size of these creatures ranges from 0.6 to 14 inches. Teeth and a stomach are not included in the body of a seahorse. They breathe through gills, and the only source of movement…

The resistance that is encountered is dependent on the body tissue that is traversed by the electrical current. Generally, tissues with high fluid electrolyte concentrations will conduct electricity the best. Bone is the most resistant tissue to electrical flow. Skin impedes electrical current, but resistance is dependent on the skin's thickness and moisture. Wet skin can reduce the contact resistance of the body. The degree of electricity-induced injury is also determined by which tissues are…

When people approach Acadia National Park, they are left in awe with the beauty and diversity of the park and of all of the attractions that the park has to offer. Every step takes visitors into an alluring and historic adventure, which constantly attracts people to the park and keeps them coming back. As Acadia increases in popularity, the quality of the park is also decreasing in environmental quality. The attractions that have kept people visiting for many years, might be at risk of…

carry no electrical charge and are also found in the nucleus. Electrons carry a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus. 2. Name five characteristics of water and relate them to the structure of water. Water has a high heat capacity Water has a high heat of vaporization Water is a solvent Water molecules are cohesive and adhesive Water has a high surface tension 3. Define an acid and base; describe the pH scale and state the significance of buffers. Acid are molecules tending to…

lakes surrounded by trees and the sun glistens through the trees and sparkles off of the water. It’s a very well maintained body of water, but the lakes downfall will always be the ice cold water. Almost painful when you first jump in, worth it though. In the garage, there’s a couple kayaks, a small fishing boat, oars, and some life jackets. I really despise going in there because it smells like musty lake water, so me and Ian run in and try to get out in a timely fashion. I’m making my way…

Collect the sample to be tested in a 300 mL BOD bottle taking special care to avoid adding air to the liquid being collected. Fill bottle completely and add stopper. 2. Remove bottle stopper and add 1 mL of the manganous sulfate solution at the surface of the liquid. 3. Add 1 mL of the alkaline-potassium iodide-sodium azide solution at the surface of the liquid. 4. Replace the stopper, avoid trapping air bubbles and shake well by inverting the bottle several times. Repeat shaking…
