  • Waters Transition From Fresh To Salt
    449 words
    The Keys To Unlocking Transitions in Water When examining waters transition from fresh to salt as well as from salt to fresh one quickly finds the importance of estuaries. In terms of geology, present-day estuaries are young and ephemeral coastal features. Today's estuaries began to take their current form during the last interglacial period, when sea level rose about 120 m (Braun 36). However, the relatively high sea levels and extensive estuaries found today have been characteristic of only ab...
  • Water With Fluoride At Optimal Levels

The most visible sign of poor water quality remains to be animal popula...

  • Oxygen Deficient Cooler Water
    664 words
    Research Dissolved oxygen infers to the volume of oxygen that is contained in water. Oxygen enters water through photosynthesis and across the water interface. The amount of oxygen that can be held by the water depends on the water pressure, salinity, and temperature. Gas solubility increases with decreasing temperature; thus colder water holds more oxygen. A reason why freshwater holds more oxygen than does saltwater is because gas solubility increases with decreasing salinity. When there is a ...

  • Average Height Of 10 Pneumetaphores
    900 words
    Introduction: Plants when grow in areas of bad conditions such as waterlogged soils must be able to deal with environmental extremes not experienced by other plants. Mangroves live in the swamp, bathed twice a day by the sea and having their roots in waterlogged soils which are devoid of oxygen, poorly drained, rich in organic matter and anoxic. Because of the lack of oxygen in the soils, mangroves rely on numerous erect aerial roots called pneumetaphores, the mangrove's breathing roots, to obta...
  • High Levels Of Pcbs
    1,654 words
    Polychlorinated biphenyls, or commonly referred to as PCBs, are mixtures of up to 209 individual chlorinated compounds. There is no evidence of a natural source of these congeners, and they are either oily liquids or solids that are colorless and sometimes a light yellow. PCBs have been used as coolants and lubricants in transformers, capacitors, and other electrical equipment because of they do not burn easily and serve as good insulators. Many of these commercial PCB mixtures are known in the ...
