Once breakfast was over, my uncle took out of his pocket a little notebook intended for scientific observation. He consulted his various instruments one after another, and recorded the following data: I glanced at him from across the kitchen with a curious look. As soon as he saw my expression he stood up from his seat and left the room. I never understood that man... He has never been normal, but ever since he took a job at the aquarium he has been extremely distant from the family.
Frank Ocean is a true rockstar of today. Embarking his career in the early two thousands, he started off as a ghostwriter for many popular artists like Beyonce and other rap groups. Once releasing his extremely popular mixtape in 2011, Nostalgia Ultra, he became an instant success. Speaking on his own his own struggles, being a bisexual black male, he somehow made the music relatable to every listener. If you’re white, heterosexual, rich, or poor, Ocean found a way to make his music common to every audience.
Social differences can play a huge role in Hollywood with the development of films that are being produced. These differences was also spark the production of a film remake. Ocean 's 11 (1960) and Ocean 's Eleven (2001) is an example that falls into this category. Both films share an underlying social problem that was shown to be a reoccurring issue that can be related to the time it is made and reproduced. Diving into Ocean 's 11 (1960), we are introduced to Danny Ocean.
While its geographical position close to the equator would correspond to a tropical climate, with dense vegetation, several factors make the Peruvian coast extremely arid desert. On the one hand, the presence of the Andes to the east prevents wind and moisture laden clouds reach the coast; secondly, the presence of the Peruvian or Humboldt Current, cold water, generates a phenomenon typical of the Peruvian coast, which prevents the presence of tropical rains, providing instead moisture accumulation by way of a dense mantle: the fog. With no rains on the Peruvian coast, the main source of water are rivers, born in the Andes that run westward flowing into the Pacific Ocean. The rivers cut through the desert, forming valleys are real oasis. While
One third of the worlds soil bound carbon is in taiga and tundra areas and specifically 14% of earth’s carbon is in permafrost. Global warming is contributing to the melting of the permafrost and it is melting at an extraordinary speed thus releasing carbon dioxide into our ever so delicate planets atmosphere. The arctic tundra that withholds mass amounts of permafrost used to be a carbon sink, which safely homes carbon from the atmosphere but with global warming it is now a carbon
Whale, aquatic mammal and the largest animals that have ever lived in the ocean. They are most closely related to hippopotamuses. Characteristic and behavior are warm-blooded, and produce milk to feed their young. Their adaptation for aquatic life include a streamlined form, the tail is used for propulsion and the head is very large. The whale have nostril where is on the top of the head called blowholes.
In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick, a story of tragedy, triumph, and whaling, describe the tragedy that took place of the whaleship, Essex, and its twenty-man crew. In Nantucket, a place where its citizens lived, breathed, and died whaling, it wasn’t uncommon for tragedies like this at sea to happen, but no one on Nantucket thought that when the Essex left the port, it would never return. Philbrick born in Boston, Massachusetts and grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania wrote many stories of the sea involving Nantucket history including, but not limited to: Away Off Shore, Abram’s Eyes, and the Sea of Glory. He wrote these books including, In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex,
Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to each other, just like magnets are attracted to each other. The moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer, but the Earth is able to hold everything except the water. Since the water is a liquid, the Earth cannot hold to it, and the moon is able to pull at it. Each day, there are two high tides and two low tides. The ocean is constantly moving from high tide to low tide, repeating this process indefinitely.
The burning yellow beams was shining down on my face. Feeling the warmth on my rosy cheeks and I gently opened my weary eyes. The trace of salt overcrowded my nose when I awakened. Staring up at the clouds only brought distortion to my eyes. Rubbing my eyes to get a clearer view, I could see the sun scorching tall in the sky.
Seventy percent of the Earth’s surface is occupied by oceans. However only five percent have been explored by oceanographers. Oceanography is a type of science that deals with the ocean. There are four different fields of Oceanography. They include Biological Oceanography, Chemical Oceanography, Marine Geology, and Physical Oceanography.
Marine organisms are animals, plants, and other living things that live in the ocean. A Marine biologist is a scientist who studies marine organisms and studies the bodies, behavior, and the history of marine organisms. They also study how marine organisms interact with each other and their environment. I have chosen to research about Marine biology because I would like to learn about sea life, the ocean, and its surrounding environment. To start off, a Marine biologist might study coral, crabs, fish, microscopic marine organisms, sea stars, seaweed, squid, or whales.
• pH 7 – This indicates that the soil is neutral and has a balanced pH level. • pH below 7 – This signifies that the soil has a high concentration of acidity. • pH above 7 – This shows that the soil has a high level of alkaline. However, you should also take into consideration that not all plants have the same pH requirement.
I was standing on top of a cliff that faced a forest that seemed to go on for miles. The soles of my feet made contact with the coarse rocky ground, whose bumps tried to penetrate my skin. Above me was a twilight sky that was pinkish-purple in colour. You could see the many twinkling stars hanging from the sky. From below me I could hear the singing of cicadas and the chirping of bird, which blended together to form an orchaestra.
The ocean… The sound of the waves applauding and hugging the shore. The internal sounds of the body out in the world’s biggest swimming pool. The echo of my sister’s laughter. The salty smell so strong that one can taste it dancing on ones taste buds.
The Arctic Ocean is the ocean around the North Pole. The most northern parts of Eurasia and North America are around the Arctic Ocean. Thick pack ice and snow cover almost all of this ocean in winter, and most of it in summer. An icebreaker or a nuclear-powered submarine can use the Northwest Passage through the Arctic Ocean to go between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The ocean's area is about 14.056 million km2, which is the smallest of the world's 5 oceans, and it has 45,389 kilometres (28,203 miles) of coastline.
