sediment and are turned into stone. Most of the fossils we find are of plants & animals that lived in the sea. They just settled to the bottom. Other plants & animals died in swamps, marshes or at the edge of lakes and were covered with sediments when the size of the lake got ...
Currents are found in rivers, ponds, marshes and even swimming pools. Few bodies of water have the intricate system of currents that oceans do, though. Ranging from predictable tidal currents to fickle rip currents, ocean currents may be driven by tides, winds or differences in density. They ...

It is naturally produced in wetlands and marshes. Other sources are oceans, volcanoes, forest fires and termites.Human activities that cause excessive production of CH4:Leakages from natural gas and petroleum systems: it is a primary component of natural gas. Methane is released during production, ...

Taking over with no natural predator, the Burmese Python. These very large pythons have been effecting our Everglades drastically. Once native to the swampy marshes of Southeast Asia, these snakes are now migrating over to Florida. Being so large and having no natural predator, they have really...
Like the sea hawk and the sand dunes they are a trademark. The roofs last a half century or more, provide excellent insulation, and cost about four times slate or tiles. Blending in with the landscape formed by sweet and salt-water marshes, even the largest house appears coy and ...
maritime demise. This bridge dispensed with the necessity of the Bishop's Horse Ferry and opened Stockton's southward communication with Acklam, Guisborough and the Cleveland Plain -Middlesbrough didn't then exist -via the marshes and carrs on the south side of the Tees, owned by Lord Harewood...
