Amphibolite is a foliated metamorphic rock. The orientation of the foliation is 251/75. It has a gneiss foliation and stripes of minerals segregation. Minerals such as white Quartz, shinny Plagioclase, green Amphibole, and pistachio green (yellowish) epidote were seen on the fresh surface. Greenschist is coarse grained metamorphic rock that contains minerals such as yellow epidote, flakes of mica and green serpentine and chlorite. Metasediments with various colors were seen such as Quartzite…

Each year, more people die from bee stings, snakebites, falling off ladders, or drowning in a bathtub than from a shark attack. Yet, people still think sharks are frightening and vicious killers. Sharks main prey are not humans, they usually eat smaller sea creatures. It is more likely for a swimmer to be struck by lightning than attacked by a shark. Many shark attacks that occur on a human are accidental. Sharks are not vicious killers as portrayed in the movies like Jaws. Most people are…

into the sediment (James, JRank). Once the holothurians have settled into the sediment they quickly grow into adults. Adult holothurians move very slowly across the sea floor and often spend their lives in the same area. Sea cucumbers mostly eat plankton, algae, and decaying organic matter. There are some deep sea holothurian species but most sea cucumber species live in warm and shallow water. The lifespan of most sea cucumbers ranges between 5-10 years (JRank, Mulcrone). Once sea cucumbers…

because they don’t have a back bone. Spotted jellyfish harvest some of their food from their algae. A crop of algae in its tissue produces food for it to harvest. Zooplanktons are another thing they eat. Small mouth openings on its oral arms capture plankton. Spotted jellyfish are amazing creatures, but octopi are my most…

A kind of splendidly hued ocean slug has a preference for infinitesimal marine animals called zooplankton, and it feeds on them utilizing a technique that has never been seen: It catches them in a swallow by utilizing an agent. The ocean slug's clueless partners are hydroid polyps — tiny, coral-like creatures that live in colonies and feed on zooplankton. The ocean slug, known as a nudibranch (pronounced nooda-brank), regards the polyps as living fishing nets, energetically scooping them up and…

source to the Pleurobranchaea Maculata more commonly known as the Grey Side-gilled Sea Slug. This is a Interspecific Biotic Factor as it is between the Sea Slug and the Anemone which are members of different species. Actinia Tenebrosa eat mostly Plankton and shrimp they do this by capturing prey. They wait for their prey to come past and use their sticky tentacles to capture their victim then the Actinia stings the prey to paralyses it to stop it getting away then pulls it into the Actinia’s…

the earth 's pangea in two again. This causes a kasium the fills with a new ocean that one day will be the middle east, currents push nutrients up to to the walls, and this attracts the fish into millions. There is now plankton in the bottom of the ocean, in a million years plankton will become…

Chukchi Sea is home to an abundance of sea creatures, and much of it has yet to be discovered. One journalist took a submarine trip there and describes it as follows: "About 200 feet down, the world outside of the submarine is murky, so thick with plankton and sea worms, it's difficult…

Imagine a body of land with rolling hills, blazing grass, and a beautiful golden sun. Then imagine the same body of land with plastic everywhere blocking the rolling hills, blocking the blazing grass, and blocking the beautiful sun. This era of today is affecting our world, tearing our world apart. I take the position that plastic water bottles should be banned from the pollution on the floor, killing our animals, and having us end in the hospital. My first reason why plastic should be banned is…

shark eat to survive? Whale sharks don’t hunt their prey like other sharks, whale sharks are filter feeders, they consume food by engulfing their prey that enters their mouth. Like most filter feeders their diet consists of small organisms such as plankton, krill, shrimp, algae and larvae. The…
