What causes tides to occur in the ocean? Explain and describe the problem of human impact on aquifers. Explain how the ocean stabilizes Earth's climate system. How does the polarity of water help it to move upwards in a plant? What is meant by the terms "cohesion" and "adhesi...
Explain the role of dinoflagellates in the two very different phenomena of coral bleaching and red tides. Describe the properties of water and its importance in chemical evolution. Why is water so important to living organisms? Define eutrophication and give an example of how a freshwater lake in...
Activating Strategy: Look at the two living organisms below Activating Strategy: Look at the two living organisms below. What makes organism A more complex than organism B? Organism A Organism B Instructional Approach(s): The teacher will pose the question to the class. The teacher may ask the...
As the comment above, to get normal tides, the tennis ball should be 7.2m away at this scale. --Gravitron (talk) 14:06, 22 April 2015 (UTC) I find it interesting that Randall makes the same mistake a lot of people make reguarding the distance between the earth and moon at that ...
Nevertheless, both Woodmorappe and Roth recognize that even today coccolith accumulation is not steady-state but highly episodic, for under the right conditions significant increases in the concentrations of these marine microorganisms can occur, as in plankton ‘blooms’ and red tides. For example,...
Mars is 8.7 times more massive than the moon, which means that it would raise much stronger tides on Earth than our moon does now. As for Mars, it would now be significantly warmer than in its present orbit. The ice caps would likely sublimate, and what little water is left on the ...
Mangroves grow on salt-laden coastal mudflats that are inundated daily by high tides. How do these plants address problems of water acquisition and elimination of excess salts? Which characteristic of water protects fish when a lake freezes?...
Explain the activity of the contractile vacuoles in amoebas during high and low tides. Explain the steps involved in deamination of Amino Acids. Why is it necessary to have both a longitudinal and circular layer of muscle in the muscularis layer of the digestive tract? Explain biomolecules ...
Discuss the factors that shape ocean tides. Explain how the processes of plate tectonics act to make metals and minerals usable for us. What is surface runoff? Define groundwater. What is an aquifer? Describe how ocean acidification changes the pH and affects the carbon...
What are the major ways we maintain our water as well as our major-solute balance? How can our intracellular environment be described as "the sea within us?" Describe and explain spring tides and neap tides. Explain the followin...
