At the time, nobody knew what they were for. But Dr. Watanabe supposed that they might be an adaptation for feeding on other tiny creatures living in the lake. Seals arrived in Baikal two million years ago, from the Arctic Ocean. So did some much smaller sea creatures, known as ...
The indigenous Eskimos believe there is a hole in the arctic ocean. Observations of several Arctic explorers of mirages of land in the Arctic indicate that the most plausible location for a north polar opening that leads into the interior of the earth is located at 85 N latitude, 130 E ...
tothe ocean.Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased.This may occur inareas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean.Thus salinity maybe increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation,or decreased by the addition of freshwater by ...
Scientists studied the Great Lakes in America and the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada. They found denim waste in all of the samples (样本)they had collected. It is feared that the harmful chemicals in denim have spread far and wide. Scientists aren’t yet sure how these chemicals might harm...
8 (possible), members of the species may have traveled up rivers from the Arctic Ocean during the last ice age, notes the California Academy of Sciences magazine. These ice seals use their claws(爪子) 9 (create) breathing holes in the ice that can be up to two meters thick. And while...
As previously mentioned, the overall ecological status with respect to fish has been classified as good (viss.lansstyrelsen.se). The Arctic char used to have poor status in the first decade of the present century, but a package of fishing restrictions, including the designation of three large ...
The alligator was incidentally chosen as the school mascot in 1911, after a local vendor ordered and sold school pennants imprinted with an alligator emblem since the animal is very common in freshwater habitats in the Gainesville area and throughout the state. The mascot was a popular choice,...
Seals arrived in Baikal two million years ago, from the Arctic Ocean. So did some much smaller sea creatures, known as amphipods(片脚类动物). They have diversified into more than 340 native species. Sea creatures the size of seals would normally see amphipods to be too small to hunt. Bu...
of a warm and fresh surface layer. These results suggest that the presence of multi-year sea ice increases the sensitivity of Greenland fjords abutting the Arctic Ocean to climate warming, with potential consequences for the long-term stability of the northern sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet...
