Canobie Lake Park

Going to Canobie Lake Park “Why did I agree to this? Why?” I was freaking out. I had to get off! I grasped my seatbelt, trying to get out. “Lemme out!” “Lemme Out!” And then, we were off. “Noo!” We pulled into the parking lot. It was very hot outside, and I could see water rides nearby. They looked so cool and refreshing. “I want to ride that one” I said, pointing at a nearby ride. “No, that one” my brother said, pointing at a roller coaster. “No way am I riding a roller coaster” I said.We went up to the gate and paid the admission. We ran in, excited, and immediately ran to the biggest water ride of all. The line was long, but it was worth the wait. Even the line was fun, because we were constantly splashed with water. Luckily for me, I crouched down next to a pole, and avoided most of the water. Finally we got to the front, the wooden raft thing was waiting, my family and 8 other random strangers piled in. We slowly went up, up, up. 30 seconds later, we were probably 100 feet up. We turned the bend, and there was the drop. “Noooooooo!” I screamed in anguish. “Whoosh!” We shot down the tube. As we hit the bottom, I thought that maybe, just maybe we wouldn’t be soaked. But no. Seconds later a massive amount of water crashed down on us and everyone…

High in the Sierra Nevada mountains, there is Mono Lake, which is a large but secluded lake tucked away in a depression in the ground a few miles away from the nearest road. At first glance, it may seem like just another normal lake, but it is home to a bizarre, otherworldly landscape that was created when water from fresh water springs underneath the lake mixed with the lake’s salty, alkaline water, forming deposits of limestone. Near the south shore of Mono Lake, grotesque towers of rough,…

I am worried about the pollution in the great lakes because animals such as baby bird have been known to have deformations because of the cancer their mothers were…

This experiment was designed to test what the limiting nutrient was in Loughberry Lake, as well as examine the trophic state of the lake. In order to find out what the limiting nutrient was, we performed a few different tests. We began with a secchi disk test to see the transparency of the water. Then, we took water samples that we later used to test the turbidity levels of the water after adding varying amounts of phosphorous and nitrogen. Phosphorous was the limiting nutrient in the lake,…

persisted on the grass within the shadows thrown by trees and buildings. Arthur watched silently as Merlin stopped on the small rise before the bank fell down to the water and removed his boots. Socks were peeled off, and his serviceable brown trousers were rolled up to his knees. "I've never done this before. But it feels like I should be in contact with the Lake if I am to summon Freya." Merlin commented. Arthur simply nodded: he had no knowledge at all about such things. If Merlin wanted to…

indicating no correlation. Also, when looking at the figures, lakes Hidden helped drag the R2 down because that point became an outlier. The outlier was farthest from the trend line and ultimately, the Hidden lake contributes the reason why it does not correlate. This show there is no support for the hypothesis because the R2 is too low. The calcium concentration and size of the spine also lacked correlation. “They failed to detect a significant effect of dissolved calcium on morphological…

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."(Oceanography: An Invitation). Specifically, El Nino influences seawater temperature, density, and…

In the summer of 2012, My friend and I had gone to Washington with his family for the weekend. They own a little lake house about 45 minutes away from Sea Tac. the 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…
