Physics Final Exam Question 1 The working of the submarines sonar is focused around the way that Sound goes at distinctive paces focused around water temperature, weight and saltiness. Sound curves to colder water - nonetheless, when sound achieves deeper water, weight turns into the overriding variable and twists sound over at the surface. Knowing where the warm layers are tells Submarine Sonar Techs where the warm layers are, and from that point how sound will engender through the water. This…

Not only does SeaWorld separate the mothers from their calves, but they also force incest among the whales. Like our own species, incest is seen as taboo to whales. Hargrove explained that one female whale Katina was mated with her son Taku, creating the calf named Nalani. Katina refused to accept Nalani after her birth. Another instance of this was with a whale named Kohana who bred with her uncle Keto two different times. Kohana rejected both of those offspring (Hargrove). It is clear that…

captivity are negligible, or completely pale in comparison to the harms that confinement brings for them. The film Blackfish (Oteyza et al. 2013), for instance, clearly shows how problematic it is to keep orcas in captivity. Orcas, as well as other cetaceans, are incredibly intelligent animals, with complex social relationships, and a need for immense space. Being confined in tanks means that they are almost guaranteed to suffer boredom and listlessness, and given the complex nature of orca…

Introduction Humpback whales live in fission-fusion societies (Rendella 2001: 311). Through test of DNA haplotypes, maternal migration traditions have been identified to guide migration route (Rendella 2001:313). Humpback calves, at first, follow their mothers to learn the migration paths between breeding and feeding grounds (Rendella 2001: 313).Yet, the most interesting and contested ideas about Humpback whether or not they have culture. The use of their songs, and their feeding…
