How does solar energy affect the hydrosphere? How does geology affect everyday life? How does weathering affect sedimentary rocks? How do human activities affect the lithosphere? How do tsunamis affect the hydrosphere? How does agriculture affect groundwater?
Let the saying “take only pictures, leave only bubbles” be your motto while visiting the Great Barrier Reef which, despite being the world’s largest living organism, is also incredibly fragile. Do your bit to help prevent damage to the reef by avoiding contact with coral (hint: be mindfu...
To understand how fines are distributed in the seabed of coastal areas, the processes which play a role on smaller spatial scales have to be understood, including the role of human activities. In this paper, we analyse the fine sediment distribution in the seabed of the Dutch Coastal Zone (...
Although the amounts being released by human activities are not as great as the amounts of CO2, nitrous oxide absorbs much more energy than CO2 (about 270 times as much). For this reason, efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions have focused on N2O as well [Source: Soil Conservation ...
both waves and tides in nearby waters drive the flow rate around these high-performing reefs, with waves being the most significant factor. "High temperature is very stressful to corals," Rogers said. "If there's not enough exchange of water from the open ocean, those areas do not do ...
To the detriment of those benefits, however, coral reefs have been deteriorating since the 1970s under a cascade of human impacts. Overfishing disrupts their complex communities of large predators, smaller prey species and “grazers” such as parrotfish and urchins that clean large algae off corals...
