Seawater

During this stage, the seismic energy from an offshore earthquake forces out a mass of seawater when the waves start. The undersea earthquake happen. The undersea earthquake or also known as the submarine earthquake is the underwater tectonics of plate or shifting plates of the earth crust. Two blocks of the ocean floor slip past one another…

container for 20 minutes to allow them to acclimatise to the temperature. After the 20 minutes 50mL of phytoplankton (previously prepared in falcon tubes) was deposited into each container. The Phytoplankton was mixed well into the sea water. Then 4mL of seawater was removed from each container and placed into cuvettes. Then the absorbance of the liquid in each of the cuvettes was measured using a spectrophotometer After measurements were taken the cuvettes were poured back into their original…

So Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi set out on a 241-mile march to the coastal town of Dandi on March 12, 1930, to break a British law nonviolently. Once at Dandi, Gandhi and his supporters were to defy British policy by making salt from seawater. Gandhi’s actions led to British leaders acknowledging him as a force they could not suppress or ignore and with that India’s independence was finally granted in August 1947. As said by Cesar Chavez in his He Showed Us the Way speech “Dr.…

Refugee. A word that we all know in humanities core due to our topic on war. However, most of us do not exactly know it’s meaning since we have not experienced it ourselves, but we do have relatives or a friend’s relative that may have gone through a surviving and strenuous experience to live a peaceful life away from war and chaos. This is where Mr. Thanh Mai, my friend’s dad, comes in. He was one of the forty-nine people in a small wooden river boat that fled the “terrors of communist Vietnam”…

Spatial variability in local plankton communities can have large effects on the composition and diversity of the secondary production with in an area. Therefore, it is important for scientists to study the factors that affect plankton community’s abundance, diversity and dominance. In this study multiple physical and biological factors were observed in order to examine how surface plankton communities varied with distance from shore in the nearshore environment of the Southern California Bight.…

Ocean Acidification-Effect on Squid Ocean acidification is a direct result of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide CO2 concentration due different type of human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation (Halpern). The world’s ocean surfaces have gradually become more acidic due to absorption of excess anthropological carbon emissions throughout history. Since the Industrial Revolution during 19th century, the carbon dioxide level has been dramatically increasing. In addition, the…

Arsenic contamination and possible remediation Victoria Reyes Texas A&M International University Abstract Arsenic can be found in many places on Earth. This includes from natural sources and as a by-product from different anthropogenic activities. The fact that arsenic can be found so commonly on Earth has lead to the contamination of several countries’ drinking water. This has put many people at risk for arsenic poisoning. There are many complications that come from the continuous ingestion…

Use of geothermal energy and boosted MED to have a stand-alone desalination, design of a prototype for water mass production based on hydrologic cycle principles (idea behind cloud formation, move of water as body without surface), use of cloud seeding techniques to increase condensation rate in thermal desalination (i.e. use of nuclei to increase water vapour condensation in industrial scale), and conceptual design of new desalination technology based on anatomy of loop of Henle in marine…

renewable energy, such as solar, wind, wave and wood. BBC (2014) argued solar energy is energy from using the sunlight to transform the heat to electricity and wind energy also is using the wind to generate the electricity. Wave energy is using the seawater movement to produce energy. There are advantages and disadvantages for the renewable energy sources, BBC(2014) mentioned some advantage such as the solar energy is very useful source for the high temperature countries such as the middle east…

Five Paragraph Essay By: Sunny 9-1 If you were stranded on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere, and you were allowed to bring three items that can fit into a regular-sized backpack, what would you bring? Well, if I were to be stranded on a deserted island, I would bring a portable water purifier, an axe, and a satellite phone. I am confident I will be able to sustain on the island, and lastly getting rescued by the civilization. Considering that I will need safe drinking water, edible…
