mindlessly getting sick on crab legs and vanilla chocolate swirl ice cream we can get to the interesting part. At this point I am happy to be off the boat and away from the addiction that was the arcade, and very exciting for our new adventure, scuba diving. Now, I am not the best swimmer, nor am I the best listener but I like to believe that my enthusiasm makes up for it. So i get my swimsuit on, and my life vest and i tighten it to my liking, and the entire time my brother is nagging me,…
According to Brown ‘’ Child labor take many forms. Agriculture is by far the largest sector employing children with unpaid family farm work dominating. Some 60 million children are involved. Young girls who should be in school are collecting water and firewood, or caring for siblings. In west Africa, an estimated 2 million are involved in cultivating cocoa, while some 400,000 are working on India’s cotton seed farms.’’ (2016).

flight was given the name aerodontalgia. As this tooth-related pain was also observed in divers, more appropriate term, barodontalgia, was subsequently given to this phenomenon. Barodontalgia, not only affects aircrew and aircraft passengers but the underwater divers as well. The pain or injury that affects teeth due to changes in pressure gradients can be explained via Boyle’s Law “at a given temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the ambient pressure.” Since the…
and fishing. In addition, for a small fee at Emerald State park in Lake Tahoe there is an Underwater Park (Best Things to Do in Lake Tahoe). The Underwater Park was once used as a dock for boats to arrive; it is now a place for scuba divers and snorkelers to explore the many artifacts that came before the turn of the century hidden at the bottom of the lake (Underwater Area). Similarly, Hawaii has scuba diving and snorkeling; though instead of looking at old artifacts you can find treasure by…
Darwin and Dinosaurs exhibit at MOSH Museum The visit to MOSH on Saturday was my first time going to the museum. I was surprised by the size of the building and how many exhibits and artifacts they were able to show inside. The Darwin and Dinosaurs exhibit was really cool. It was neat to see and read about Darwin and other scientists of the time while being by displays of massive dinosaurs. I learned many new things about Darwin 's life and the evolution of organisms at the exhibit, and had a…

tropical cyclones, with the last cyclone occurring in 2010 ("Bora Bora Island Guide, Beach Vacation In Tropical Tahiti Paradise." 1). While Bora Bora is indeed a very rich in beauty, it is also rich in history. To start, Bora Bora started off as a underwater volcano,…
With the 100 meter resolution 10% to 15% of the ocean is unexplored. To map certain objects we need a bigger resolution. To explore more of the ocean underwater technologies are being developed and they can come in handy when exploring the ocean floor. New technologies are leading to many new discoveries. WE can now find many new species in well explored places. In fact last year we discovered a new species…

blue water burned my eyes, I reached toward the surface, my hand outstretched for anyone to save me. Any other child might have been terrified that they were submerged underwater, but I remember having no fear, and even a feeling of serenity as I heard the echoing of the water. Suddenly, cascading above the water was a superhero diving in to rescue me from inevitable…
