WIll Kempe Ms. Herring 7th Grade ELA November 14, 2017 How do submarines work? The only way subs move is by ballast tanks, trim tanks, and other types of huge tanks. Subs also use planes to guide their direction. A sub’s plane is the most important part of the sub. Subs have two use the biggest ballast tanks in the world. If subs don’t use the biggest ballast tank in the world then it is possible that you can run out of gas at the bottom of the ocean. A sub is so much different than ships because they are able to go underwater without sinking. A sub can control its buoyancy so that it can not sink. If subs want to go underwater or up to the surface, they will need to change the water in their ballast tanks into the air. If you are trying to go underwater then you have to take the water in your ballast tanks, and turn it into air eargo you will be able to go underwater and come back to the surface. …show more content…

A nuclear sub carries and uses nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors are very dangerous they can cause a big explosion. The nuclear reactor can also reverse thrust of the propeller shaft. Subs need a lot of electricity to power stuff like props, and equipment and stuff like that. If subs don't have a lot of electricity then they will not move and the stuff like props, equipment, and everything will not do anything especially not move or do what they're supposed to. Subs have to use diesel engines to power everything so that you don't run out of fuel or electricity or anything like

Robert Ballard was known for his work in underwater archeology and discovery of shipwrecks. He joined the army in 1965 and requested to fulfill his obligation in the navy. His request to aiding in the navy allowed Ballard to design small, unmanned submersibles that could be tethered and controlled from a surface ship. Ballard’s works that were contributed in aiding the navy also contributed in searching for his first shipwreck, the Titanic. Robert Ballard was able to contribute his discoveries to America by the exploration of undersea technology, his relationship with the navy in cooperating with Ballard’s explorations, and the use of deep-diving submarines to explore the surface of the ocean and encounter abandoned or destroyed ships of past

Diesel Technicians Diesel engines are the workhorses powering the Nation 's trucks, buses, and heavy equipment. Diesel-powered engines are also becoming more popular in light vehicles, including cars, pickups, and other work vehicles. Diesel service technicians and diesel mechanics, who are also known as diesel engine specialists, maintain and repair diesel engines that are used to power transportation equipment such as buses, semis, and locomotives. Some diesel technicians work on mobile equipment such as road graders, bulldozers, loaders, cranes, tractors, and combines. Only a small portion of diesel technicians repair diesel-powered automobiles, pickups, or ships.

Plankton Activity Postlab 1) Apply 2.5: Use mathematical and/or computational representations to support explanations of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems at different scales. Explain how the abundance of phytoplankton in the pond depends on the abundance of an abiotic resource such as nitrogen. - Phytoplankton are the producers in the pond. Species of organisms in ecosystems have their own carrying capacity relative to other species, and carrying capacities are determined by particular abiotic and biotic resources in an ecosystem. An increase in nitrogen levels in the pond (e.g. from fertilizers) will result in a dramatic increase in phytoplankton levels, but once phytoplankton population reaches its carrying capacity (determined by availability of other resources besides nitrogen, [DO] levels, predation etc.),

The Last Journey Of The Lusitania Section I: Introduction and Context During World War 1, unrestricted submarine warfare and tragedies were unlimited. Unrestricted submarine warfare and the tragedies it caused were the results of war, the effects of war are untasteful as well as ruthless. The book “Dead Wake” by Erik Larson dives deep into the unrestricted submarine warfare of WWI by also emphasizing the tragedy of the sinking of the Lusitania. His emphasis on the human tragedies caused by a submarine, U-20, helps prove the point of how submarines were left unchecked and underestimated during WWI. While some people might not think submarines played a pivotal role in WWI, Larson's delivery of the events leading up to the sinking of the Lusitania

As Germany returns, in 1917, to the policy of unrestricted submarine warfare, it came back to renew its suspension in response from force of the United States and other neutral countries. Unrestricted submarine warfare was first initiated in World War I on February 4th, 1915. Germany declared the area around the British Isles a war zone, in which all merchant ships, would be attacked by the German navy. On April 22nd, 1915, the German Embassy published a warning in newspapers to tell passengers that travel on Allied ships are “at their own risk.” One ship, called The Lusitania, was the first to submerge and depart, killing nearly 1300 passengers.

Imagine a life or death situation for a marine animal and you have the power to help. Most people would jump to the help. The issue is are rovs valuable? On one side of the debate people argue that ROVs are not valuable for underwater research because rovs don’t have a brain and they have to keep recharging after every drop they do. However, ROVs are ABSOLUTELY valuable to underwater research because they are small so they can fit into small cracks and crevices to fix things or find someone or something in need of help, they are faster than humans and more agile, and they can not be bothered by sharks or other fish that would attack the humans because they don’t taste like blood or have meat like humans do.

Nuclear energy is something that we`ve all heard about. It carries risk and potential. When an atom (Uranium and Plutonium in nuclear power plants) is bombarded by neutrons, it can be split, causing fission. This fission releases more neutrons, which causes a chain reaction. Nuclear power plants use this use the heat that is created by fission to heat water that spins their turbines (“Nuclear Energy”).
