Do you think ocean pollution is an issue? Well, over two thirds of Earth's surface is covered by water and all of it has been affected by some sort of pollution. Ocean pollution causes many chemicals and foreign substances to get into our air, water, and food, killing the wildlife and affecting the cleanliness of our waters; it is extremely important for us to all come together in order to stop ocean pollution. "The single biggest problem in reaching international agreement on a topic lies in convincing

The cold, dark, murky water of the mighty Floyd was rushing over me. I stretched my toes as far as they would reach, but all I could feel was more water. I clung on to the blue Igloo cooler like it was the only thing I owned. It helped me to hold myself up from being sucked under the forceful current of the Floyd. This was the time I wrecked my canoe on the mighty Floyd River. It all started earlier that day when Matt Dahl and I wanted to go on a bit of an adventure -- and boy did we get an adventure

Their eyes can move independently and have the ability to see two images at the same time to helps them see fast-moving prey. Color-changing skin helps them blend in, which change color depending on the temperature, mood

organisms that live in water versus those on land. How is the issue exacerbated by fish respiratory physiology? Although being endothermic allows for the potential to maintain a constant internal environment that can ensure the most efficient metabolic and protein functions, this adaptation is incredibly energetically costly. Coupled with this, water in particular has relatively high thermal conductivity (especially compared to air), this mean that heat is much more easily lost to water. Along with this

soon run out of fresh water to drink and many people will die of dehydration. We will have no other options then to either die on earth or colonize space. It would be a fresh start that the human race so desperately needs. Population- We are at a current world population of 7.5 billion people and it is growing rapidly. By 2050 the population of the world will be around 10

Geography helps the development of a society because rivers allow natural resources and transportation. In order to travel, you need boats/ships. Also, bodies of water can contain drinking water and sea creatures to eat. According to Document #1, “Danube River”, by Kay, it displays a river and trees. The river can help with food and transportation. To add on, the land around it contains trading posts, food, and trees which can create weapons, boats, and clothes. Therefore, geography helps the development

Sports Drink vs. Water In a society where athletes strive to maintain a healthy life, how do sports drinks contribute to their well-being ? Sports drinks are proven not to be as healthy as water, but these drinks can offer an athlete the little things that make a big difference such as fluids and carbohydrates. Some only view the negatives of sports drinks, but what about the positives ? For example, in the article ,”Obey your thirst, just not necessarily with a sports drink, Jennifer Sygo states

polarity and hydrogen bonding. They are soluble in water, due to this as the alcohol chain increases the solubility of water will decrease which shows of an inversely proportional relationship. Their chemical properties consist of combustion, as this is true because alcohols are able to burn because the end product they produce is water and carbon dioxide. A very obvious reaction they undergo is dehydration of course since they break down and produce water. In this lab, three different types of alcohols

they push millions of gallons of water and sand that is mixed in with dangerous chemicals. At such a high pressure, this water and the chemicals fracture the rock and allow the oil and natural gas to be accessed by the companies that need it (1). The danger and harm that fracking causes is crazy! The chemicals that seep into the ground and eventually into citizens in the areas wells. There have been multiple cases where people have been able to light their water from the faucet on fire. On a family
