Who is the hottest girl in the US?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The same woman may be beautiful to one person yet not beautiful to another person.

What are the different types of marine pollution?

There are many factors that can cause ocean pollution. A main one is humans. People tend to dump or litter garbage / waste into the ocean. Acid rain falling (due to pollution elsewhere that got mixed in and moved along with the atmosphere) can create acidic ocean waters. Polluted run-off from water sources (rivers, streams, groundwater, and pipe lines) can easily and quickly bring pollutants into the ocean water. Ship spills (especially oil tanker spills) also majorly pollute the oceans.

How do you clean oil spills in the ocean?

One method is being used with success where there are enough people and material to sop up the oil in special mats and booms made of natural fibers, like hair.

You can help with this type of clean up, too. See the link in the related links section below for information about donations of natural fibers and hair to use in clean up. The web address will take you to the volunteer organization that is coordinating the donations of hair, wool, feathers, and nylons (hosiery), etc. to be used to help make barrier booms and to use in the clean up of beaches, birds, and animals that get oil soaked. The non-profit group will take money for buying the special netting they use in the construction of the booms, or your donations of that netting, too. You can have a "Boom B Q". A boom making party with a Bar B Q.

The site explains and shows how the fiber mats and booms work. It includes a link to a YouTube video on how to make the booms, too.

Which president swam nude in the Potomac River and was the first to be interview by a female?

John Q. Adams often would swim nude in the Potomac and at least once found that his clothes were gone when he came ashore after his swim. I do not know about any encounters with a female journalist.

What are herbivore adaptations in the marine biome?

Some herbivores in the marine biome have specialized teeth or beaks to graze on algae or seagrasses, while others have digestive enzymes that help break down tough plant material. Many marine herbivores have a streamlined body shape for efficient swimming and avoiding predators. Some also have camouflage or mimicry to blend in with their environment and avoid detection.

Why are giraffes so cool?

because they are a different species and that fascinates us. They dont talk bad to us or yell at us. They dont get mad at us. They are like the perfect friends.And because of all of the cool noises and looks of the animals around us we seem to find them interesting

Why do people study marine biology?

Alot of people like marine biology because it is the study of ANIMALS!

What ae some sea plants?

Nothing really just the water and sun that shines over the water hope I helped

What are the non-living things in an aquarium?

Non-living things in an aquarium can include gravel or sand for substrate, rocks or driftwood for decoration, artificial plants, filters, heaters, air pumps, lighting fixtures, and the aquarium itself (tank, lid, stand).

Why is the coral the most important organism in a reef ecosystem?

Its necessary for photosynthesis in the water just as it is on land.

How deep is the middle of the ocean?

The depth of water at the apex of the ridge is less than 2,700 metres.

What are the abiotic components of the marine ecosystem?

First, remember that abiotic factors are nonliving things in an ecosystem, so probably rocks, the water itself, the sand at the bottom of the ocean, and debris like the ones left from Titanic and other shipwrecks.

What is the demand for a marine biologist?

The demand for marine biologists is generally stable and growing slightly due to increased concerns about ocean health and conservation. Job opportunities can be found in various sectors such as research institutions, government agencies, environmental consulting firms, and non-profit organizations that focus on marine and aquatic ecosystems. Advanced degrees and specialized skills in areas such as marine conservation, fisheries biology, or marine mammal behavior can enhance job prospects.

Does zooplankton eat phytoplankton?

Answer

No its the other way around, Plankton is made of Phytoplankton which are plants. Plants make their own food using sunlight and the process of photosynthesis. You then get small creatures and larvae of other animals that feed on the phytoplankton called zooplankton. Jellyfish are also part of the plankton and they eat fish.

Why are some seas transparent?

Water is not totally transparent. Some light gets absorbed when it passes through water. The longer the distance, the more light gets absorbed.

How do sea stars use oxygen?

Sea stars use their water vascular system, which helps to circulate oxygen throughout their body. Oxygen is absorbed directly from the seawater through their tube feet and then transported to the various tissues and organs. This system allows sea stars to obtain the oxygen they need for respiration.

What are two ways that bacteria can affect plants?

Bacteria and plants are part of the ecosystem.

Bacteria may affect plants in a number of ways. Diseases have been mentioned, but most bacteria co-exist with plants quite easily. Several bacteria are involved with the transitions of nutrients and make nutrients such as nitrogen plant available (the plant is only able to absorb some nutrients in certain molecular forms). While other bacteria convert nutrients and toxins into forms unavailable to the plant.

Other bacteria make Some bacteria, Rhizobia in particular, develop symbiotic relationships with some plants. Rhizobia convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium which is plant available. In exchange, the plant provides Rhizobia with shelter (a root nodule) and food (photosynthates).

That should give you a couple of pathways to discuss.

What is a ring of coral islands called?

An Atoll is the name used to refer to a group of related coral islands.

What is the study of pollen?

Palynology is the scientific study of pollen grains and spores, including their production, dispersal, and preservation in the environment. It is used in various fields such as botany, ecology, archaeology, and forensics to understand plant evolution, ecological relationships, and environmental changes.

How do you test a co2 cylinder?

Measure the weight of the full cylinder and note down as m1
Note down the tare weight of the cylinder marked on the cylinder and note down t1
the m1 - t1 = M the weight of gas in Kilograms
multiply the wt of gas in Kgs with 0.9403 ie. M x 0.9403 gives the total cubic meter of acetylene gas in cylinders

Note: One gram of Acetyle gas measures 0.9403 litres at 27 degree centigrade and 760 mm of mercury pressure.

Why does ice float on water?

Ice made with heavy-water will sink in normal water.

Heavy water is water made with Deuterium, a special type (isotope) of Hydrogen which has a nucleus containing 1 proton and 1 neutron (instead of just a single proton).

I think that drinking heavy water is bad (in excess of a certain amount) for you since it takes your body more energy to process it than it does normal water (differences in density, heat capacity, and what-not), so this really isn't much of a solution.

What type of work do marine biologist do?

Marine biologists study marine organisms, ecosystems, and their interactions with the environment. They may be involved in fieldwork, data collection, laboratory analysis, and conservation efforts to better understand and protect marine life. Their research can help inform policies and practices related to marine environments.

What area would be most affected by disruption of the marine ecosystem?

Disruption of the marine ecosystem would most affect coastal communities that rely on fishing as a primary food source and economic activity. This disruption can lead to loss of livelihoods, food insecurity, and economic hardship in these areas. Additionally, marine ecosystems play a crucial role in maintaining global biodiversity and ecosystem balance, so disruption can have far-reaching environmental consequences.
