Oceans are large bodies of salt water which hold the largest variety of plants and animals on earth. Oceans have currents that travel worldwide, generated by breaking winds and water salinity. These currents also speed up ships and transport nutrients around the world. Marine plants also generate the majority of the world’s oxygen, and regulate climate worldwide. In conclusion, oceans are large bodies of saltwater which hold the majority of life. They also make more of the world habitable. Their…

During a study in New York, people were affected by many floods that were cause by water drainage from Long Island into the Nissequogue River. Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York made the argument that "The cheapest way to deal with flood damage is to prevent it in the first place. Nearly one-thousand homes have been impacted by the recurring flooding of Nissequogue River and this restoration project is vital in ensuring this problem is put to an end," He made this point while he argued…

I spent our childhood. Grenada Lake was a place where we would go to camp, fish, swim, and ride jet skis and boats. It was not a summer that we did not go to Grenada Lake. Grenada Lake is a fun, beautiful, and peaceful place. You are surrounded by water, sand, woods, and hills. I just enjoyed spending time there…

Water quality dynamics in an urbanizing subtropical estuary (Oso Bay, Texas) Estuarine environments like that of Oso Bay in Corpus Christi, Texas are subject to fluctuations in geochemistry and relative water quality based on factors related to extreme weather events, changing water flow and human impacts. A 2011-2015 study on the water quality dynamics of Oso Bay found fluctuations in the estuarine geochemistry were related to some of these factors, particularly human influences. A wastewater…

an assessment of the impact on the wetland of land-cover types present within the wetland's upslope catchment. The overall score is worked by using a weighted score of combined o impact scores derived from the scores for Hydrology, Geomorphology, Water quality and Vegetation, this score is weighted as 3:2:2:2,…

Nothing anywhere else is like them…” (Douglas) The Everglades are located in the southern part of Florida. The Everglades National Park was established on December 6, 1947. The reason the park…

Stomach content analysis provides important insight into fish feeding patterns. Feeding of fish represents an integration of many important ecological components that included behaviour, condition, habitat use, energy intake and inter/intra specific interactions, etc. Accurate description of fish diets and feeding habits also provides the basis for understanding trophic interactions in aquatic food webs. Conceptually, trophic relations of fishes begin with foods and feeding behaviour of…

1. Introduction Silicified wood is normally formed close to the surface due to the infiltration of buried wood with mineral-rich water and the associated deposition of minerals (Kim et al., 2009). Two typical geological environments have been reported, 1) trees transported by streams and rivers then buried in the fluvial sediments (e.g., Weibel, 1996; Fielding and Alexander, 2001; Parrish and Falcon-Lang, 2007; Hartmann et al., 2010), and 2) ash from volcanic eruptions buries trees while felled…
