Tide pool Essays

introduce myself. I am Maddie, and this is my slightly embarrassing story that is both wet, and wild!. It all began at Catalina when my group was going tide pooling… “Yay, we’re going to the tide pools! I love tide pools!” I said to my friend Leah as we walked along the rocky shore. We began to head toward the looming cliffs in front of us, where the pools were. Our group leader Amanda explained how we were finding crabs for the octopus, but we barely paid attention as we began to look under just about

They are found in almost every marine habitat whether it be in tidal pools or in the sea. They are usually found on the seafloor which is why the suckers are very important. They can stick to the ground and move along it easily. They also can adhere firmly to their prey and capture them. Their sensors help them stay alert

Cole was a bad kid. He broke into places, hurt people, he only cared about himself. His dad was no better and he would hurt his own son all the time. Cole was raised to not be obedient. I picked the song, “Hello Goodbye” by the Beatles because Cole always did the opposite of what he was told to do. As it says in the song, “You say yes, I say no” and this is exactly what Cole does. He never listens. He also lied quite a bit. For example, The police might not have caught him, but after a week

2. Methods and Materials 2.1 Study Area Apalachicola Bay is a wide estuarine system located in the Florida panhandle and covers an area about 539 km2 (Figure 1). The bay is relatively shallow with an average depth of 3.0 m. It is one of the most productive natural systems in North America, and highly recognized by the state, federal and international organizations for its pristine water quality and unaffected estuarine habitats (ANERR, 2008). Apalachicola Bay was formed by the deltaic processes of

Mammals and reptiles have been on earth for millions of years. They are both the two largest animals. Both mammals and reptiles can live together in different habitats even though there are several differences between them. A major difference reptiles and mammals have is their reproduction. Mammals are viviparous, which means they give birth to living young. When a mammal gives birth, she uses her mammary glands to nourish her young with milk. Reptiles are oviparous, they lay eggs to

Twelfth Night is a story of loss, tragedy, and love that is masquerading as a romantic comedy of sorts a perfect example of Shakespeare’s true talents of expressing deep metaphor in very interesting ways. This is a play about the ocean deep, salty, unpredictable, rough and difficult to navigate but after enough time and understanding, you can see the beauty in the deep blue water. The salty water seems very basic and easy to understand but upon closer inspection, you can see the true depth and complexity

much time passes between one high tide and the next? The tides are created by the gravitational pull between the moon and the Earth, so the time difference between the tides depends on how long a lunar day is. A lunar day is 24 hours and fifty minutes and in one lunar day the Earth rotates through two tidal bulges. The time between one high tide and the next is twelve hours and twenty five minutes. b. How much time passes between low tide and the next high tide? The earth rotates through two tidal

Morphology. The basic morphology of a beach is shown in Figure 1. A berm is a long narrow wedge of sand with its slope towards the water. The berm crest is the highest part of the berm where the sediment builds up and the waves do not pass. The tide

Question #1a: Provide a thorough description of the contents of ocean water.            The contents of ocean water is that it is very salty. The salt in the ocean water comes from many different types of rocks on land. How the salt from rocks is that when rain falls down on land the rain will slowly erode the rock. How that is happening is the acid in the rain erodes the rock but it is not dangerous acid to us humans. When the rock gets eroded then it turns into ions which is an atom or molecule

affect the growth of a duckweed population. This investigation can be useful for the purposes of mass duckweed production for biofuel or for water purification, or for the purpose of understanding how best to prevent the growth of duckweed in a pond, pool, lake or dam where it is unwanted. The results of this project will also will also be helpful in the study of population ecology and the factors that influence the growth of any population e.g. the presence of resources in a habitat. This factor will

Aim: To investigate the distribution of two different species of barnacles, the acorn barnacle (Chamaesipho columna) and the brown barnacle (Chamaesipho brunnea) at low, mid and high tide. The data collected is from Siren’s Rock, Island Bay. This will be done by looking at both the abiotic and biotic factors of their environment. Barnacles are under the crustacean family, the same family as crayfish and crabs (Ultimate Visual Dictionary of Science). The pattern found on the rocky shore was a zonation

Jazz Age was always at its scary high tides, and low, calming waves. The high tides included The Great Depression featuring Tom Buchanan, and the Dust Bowl. Moreover, on the bottom, the low tides were happier and friendlier tides. The low tides included The Harlem Renaissance, Movies, Great Inventions, and Fashion featuring Daisy, Myrtle, and Jordan, who also all had enticing social lives. These tides are what make history, and the future. The remarkable tides

Dreams 11). Both Grace and Carlisle are old time cities, without many stores or cell phone services which adds to their isolation. “What we didn’t have included almost anything respectable teenagers might do in the way of entertainment” (Kingsolver High tide in Tuscon 47).

In addition, the people in these small towns know everything about everyone and are incredibly nosy. When Codi takes

When I was thirteen, approximately a year ago, my family took a vacation to Cancun. The trip was pretty cool. Cancun was warm, tropical, and most of all supplied endless amounts of food in the hotel. Like most vacations, people want to get the most they can do with their time there. For me, my last bit of fun would have been crashing into the waves, I had discovered, on the new beach in front of my hotel. These waves were like none other I’ve ever experienced. Almost ten feet tall, with the full

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. There
