electricity and gets transported to a wave energy convertor. Turbines can be housed on the shoreline as well. The production of wave energy comes with consequences. Getting your energy source from waves is only suitable for those who live close to the coast. We would not be able to get this energy to places in the city. The production of wind energy occurs when the kinetic energy of the wind turns the propellers of a wind turbine. The energy then…

spent 178.2 hours in port ( 7 days 10 hours) and 493.8 hours at sea ( 20 days 14 hours). Using the metric of 8760 hours in a year, the Maersk Ohio could theoretically complete about 13 voyages a year. The Atlantic crossing, after leaving the East Coast is when the Maersk Ohio typically carries around 3200 TEU’s (Capt Leville). While leaving Le Havre, France we were typically fully loaded with around 4120 to 4140 TEUs (Voyage Abstract). To maximize revenue the ship would want to carry around…

protect Tupac and stand beside him. People also decided to take a more dramatic turn and wanted to murder Notorious because of the sudden death of Tupac. With Notorious being an East Coast rapper and Tupac being a West Coast rapper there was a lot of tension between the two areas.

On his way home, he sailed into England and not into the Netherlands .Hudson is liberated from his arrest so he can start his fourth voyage. Or maybe Hudson was on a mission from the English trading companies. He had to ruin…

Is the coastal eroding? Yes, along with the power of the waves and wind the coast is eroding. The coast is not only eroding because of the water and wind, it’s also eroding because of human activity. The one activity that we do causing erosion is dredging; it’s when we get shipped to us. The ships cause waves to hit the coast. Is there any other planet that is habitable? NASA’s space telescope has found planets that could be the second “earth”. They found an earth sized planet orbiting the…

In a dark dark cold miserable place lives an extraordinary creature that defies science. They only live here because they love to be in dark, wet, mysterious places.
