Effects of Global Warming on Arctic Regions According to the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we must cut the worldwide use of fossil fuels by at least 90% if mankind is to have any chance of stopping global warming. The gases that are released from fossil fuels get trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere like a heated dome known as the greenhouse effect. The condensed heat melts or dissolves all the glacier and ice in the Arctic regions. The sudden change of climate can have…

The pH of something can be determined by using the specific pH scale. The scale is based off of numbers ranging from 0 to 14. The lower the number is the more acidic something will be and the higher the number is the more basic something will be. It is important to note that 7 act as the neutral number, where neither it is considered acidic of basic (5). It is found that rain water that is unpolluted is coincides with carbon dioxide and has a pH of 5.6. Often, the pH around the world of…

Panaeus monodon is one of the most popular and best shrimp for aquaculture due to its high unique taste, high nutritive value and persistent demand in world market. There are many part involve in culturing and managing the farming of Panaeus Monodon. 1. Culturing site For culturing site there are few aspects that need to be considered which are topography, Weather condition water supply, accessibility, and soil condition. The area selected is usually located near to supply of water with…

I’m writing about the navigation lock in the Atchafalaya River. In 1977, Sidney A. Murray Jr., the mayor of Vidalia, questioned the use of hydroelectric power to help reduce rapidly escalating electricity rates. It ended up with the construction of the world’s largest prefabricated power plant structure. Construction of the 192-megawatt, $520-million power plant began in 1985. Earlier plans allowed the foundation and associated works to be built in the dry at the actual project site, just…

As phytoplankton cannot swim, tides play an important role in spreading the harmful plankton around. Knowing which tide was bringing in harmful plankton helps a lot in decision making process of whether to feed or not. This information can make a considerable difference…

In this lab we will be testing the water quality of the Lewis and Clark Lake. We will be testing to see if the water is good quality and good for the fish and creatures that need that water to live. The first step is to extract the water from the lake and analyze the way it looks. We should write down the description of the water. The second step is to take it to the lab to test the water for pollutants and to test the quality of the water. Ph. is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration of…

Coral reefs are Anthozoans. Scientists classify them as animals. They are the largest class of organisms in the phylum cnidarian. There are more than six thousand species. Coral reefs are communities of living things. They are known as the “rainforests of the oceans.” This is because there are sea slugs, oysters and many other creatures living there. Corals are animals related to anemones and jellyfish. They extend their tentacles to sting. A polyp is an individual coral consisting of a stomach…

Water is a colorless, transparent and odorless liquid that exists in all three states of matter. It plays three major roles as the: a) universal solvent, b) reactant molecule, and d) temperature stabilizer. Water is created when Hydrogen and Oxygen undergoes synthesis reaction as 2H2 + O2  2H¬2¬O. In the process, an oxygen atom is covalently bonded to the two hydrogen atoms forming a non-linear molecular shape of water. According to the Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory, the…

“killing sharks is the biggest ecological time bomb,” and he’s absolutely correct. If we kill them all, we destroy all food chains of our entire ecosystem. The majority of our oxygen comes from the ocean and the film goes on the explain how. Phytoplankton are tiny aquatic plants that consume carbon dioxide and convert it to oxygen. They produce seventy-five percent of the oxygen we breathe on land. Without sharks, the plankton eater population would grow out of control consuming the plankton we…

Threatens the survival of fish and other aquatic life forms. When the nutrients present in the aquatic ecosystems increase, there will cause the phytoplankton and the other photosynthetic plants grow quickly, known as algal blooms. As the result, the algal blooms will limit the oxygen required amount for the respiration by the other aquatic animal and plant species. Oxygen depletion happens when the plant life decrease, die and decompose. When the oxygen dissolved reach the maximum levels, the…
