Plankton

phytoplankton are the primary producers in the Antarctic ecosystem (Sasso). The zooplankton, also known a krill, are organisms that eat phytoplankton and are (Sasso). Zooplankton are one of many primary consumers in this ecosystem (Winter). Squid eat mainly plankton, krill and fish (Sasso). Squid is also one of many primary consumers in the ecosystem (Winter). There are about 100 million tons of squid that are eaten by whales, seabirds, seals, and penguin (Sasso). Fish feed on krill and other…

Imagine living in a world that is lacking in resources and breathable air. The land around you is completely barren, and there are absolutely no signs of life. Cities that once were lively are now desolate and abandoned. If Earth keeps heading in the direction it is going, soon enough it will be deprived of all that is good in it. The planet is very slowly headed towards its demise due to global warming. Because of the damage done from greenhouse gas emissions on the planet, the government needs…

this carbon, which has led to a reduction in pH of the waters. The staggering fact that in recent times the growth of the acidity level has come close to 30% demonstrates the intense impact. In the beginning, we were happy that the vast amounts of plankton were soaking up so much of the carbon dioxide, it allowed for a slower growth of global warming. People were aware that this was poisoning the oceans in some aspects, yet they expected the freshwater flowing to the oceans to help fix the…

Location I: The House in the Poppy Fields Matt was once innocent and happy in the house in the fields, however, he is now growing depressed that he does not have children to be friends with. ¨When Matt was younger, it hadn't seemed to matter.

Matt has a growing desire to see the children that he thinks he sees in the fields more closely (Farmer 6). ¨Matt thought with sudden terror. It’s like the animals. He could talk and talk…

Water exists in all three physical states only on planet earth, the only planet where life exists in the whole of universe. Water supports life on earth due its unique physical properties such as density, temperature variation, reflectivity, surface tension, specific heat, boiling and freezing points, as well as its chemical properties including its polar nature, dissolving ability and capacity to act both as an acid or base. The exceptional physical properties are all attributed to water’s…

THE DIMENSIONS OF POLLUTIONS AND RESOURCES DEPLETION. ABSTRACT In this topic we will look at the dimensions of pollution and resources depletion. For pollution we will get to know the definition of pollution. Rather than that, we will know each types of pollution and each definition of this. Then we will look further into the cause, effect and solution for each pollution in this topic. Lastly we will discuss about the resources depletion effect occur by human activity. INTRODUCTION Environmental…

Their extended bodies are surrounded by bony rings with small gill slits (Zubi, 2004). Their fin patterns and distributions are different than those for other bony fish. They have no pelvic fins, small pectoral fins, and one dorsal fin (Zubi, 2004). The pectoral fins turn the Seahorse and aid in steering, while the dorsal fin moves it forward. The coronet of the Seahorse is its most distinctive feature, helping in identification as the thumbprint does for humans (Zubi, 2004). Seahorses are…

General Australian refugee facts and figures The 1951 UN Refugee Convention defines a refugee as “someone who has a well-founded fear of persecution in their own country, because of their race, religion, nationality or political or social affiliation” (Refugee Action Coalition, n.d.). In other words refugees are ordinary individuals who have been forced to leave their country to be able to escape war, persecution or natural disaster (Oxford, 2014). Ever since 1945 there have been over 700 000…

The Orange Sun, Bioethics and Praxis of Systemic Annihilation in Kaine Agary’s Yellow Yellow ABSTRACT From the quasi-oral form, African Literature has cascaded through systemic phases in less than two hundred years of contact with the Western written form. It has migrated from that dark romance portrayed by western writers to contemporariness of self-reappraisal. The primary inclination of these texts has been the ultimate question. What have we achieved with our independence? The unsavoury…
