British government (Biography.com Editors). This journey started with only a few dozen followers, but quickly grew to an abundant amount of followers. They traveled to a town called Dandi, where he led his followers to make salt from evaporated seawater. “Approximately 60,000 Indians were jailed for breaking the Salt Acts, including Gandhi, who was imprisoned in May 1930” (Biography.com Editors). Because of this march, combined with other protests and fasts that he organized, Gandhi was named…

The ocean circulation can be defined like the global movement of water, which occurs in the ocean basins. These movement of water are the ocean currents, which plays an important role in the climate since store and distribute heat, microorganisms like nutrients and freshwater all over the world. Therefore, any change that modifies the ocean circulation will alter drastically the global climate. In this section it will be broadly explained the factors, which determine the ocean circulation and a…

can be caused by melting snow, tropical cyclones and tropical storms. Floods are usually caused by low-pressure systems, which occur in the late winter and spring. Typically in June, July and August. A rare Geographical cause of flooding is when seawater comes up onto dry land. Giant waves created by earthquakes will consequently overflow the land with water. Another rare case of flooding is dam failure. Cold fronts can bring heavy rainfall to Australia, particularly in winter and spring and can…

All of the following have to do with how life came upon earth, if it was created, how, by who, and such, it tells the theory and and if was created on earth or brought upon by a couple factors. All of the hypothesis show what is being created, most of which are creating organic molecules, or explaining how it becomes created and where. By knowing this information you can choose which you think is the most likely to be how organic molecules were created.with the Primordial Soup it was said that…

McPhee describes how the fishing island of Heimaey had to be evacuated with little warning due to a gigantic volcanic eruption in 1973. Although the people of Heimaey managed to save the fishing harbor by spraying the hot lava with massive amounts of seawater, almost all of the houses in the village were destroyed. Of course, houses that burn down can always be rebuilt. But the eruption left the village with something more, a brand new gigantic mountain! In addition, people who moved back after…

There are many different things to take into consideration when assessing sea level rise. Sea level rise is due to climate change. The two main factors that cause sea level to rise are the melting of land ice and thermal expansion. Low lying areas such as the Matanzas River Basin will continue to feel the effects of climate change. Other factors will continue to play roles, such as wetland management and human development. Creekside festival will be a great chance for us to reach out to the…

amazing, renewable resource. Of course it doesn’t stop there either. “Newer designs are being tested in Japan, Australia, and in the Bay of Fundy between the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and Brunswick” (Wave Power) Due to the “100 billion tons of seawater that passes in and out of the Bay of Fundy daily could theoretically generate enough electricity to supply 20 percent of the power demands in Nova Scotia” (Wave Power) Now I know that doesn’t seem like a lot, but there’s a lot of people in…

of suicide - and, some caution, global warming may make matters worse” (Leung), implying that the heat caused by global warming makes people violent, unstable, and brings out the worst in them. As global warming is happening, sea-level will rise; seawater is getting mixed with freshwater causing pollution to occur. Another negative effect from global warming is the polar regions melting away. As the ocean temperatures rise, it impacts the ice at the poles, as “ocean warming melts the ice far…

The loss of coral reefs, would wipeout the foundation of most species in the tropics. The stress of bleaching and dying reefs could leach disease and toxins into the ocean. Atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane can lead to decrease in pH, making seawater more acidic and stressful for species of invertebrates and vertebrates. Carbon dioxide has an effect on calcium carbonate buffers in shallower…

This exhibit is an extremely large tank, with more than nine hundred thousand gallons of circulating seawater, filled with some of the most amazing animals the ocean has to offer. And thanks to the seventy-foot-long tunnel that runs through the tank, these creatures can be viewed from with sides, as well as overhead. This aspect of the exhibit separates…
