The search for viable planets and moons for NASA to colonize may be narrowed to one. The Jupiter moon Europa may be next on the mission list for NASA astronauts. Leaving Mars out in the cold. Recent research from NASA scientists could have found the life sustaining evidence they need on Europa. Or at least under its icy surface. The study is encouraging, now that scientists believe that the Jupiter moon ocean has enough energy to support life. If so, will NASA astronauts find aliens on the…

when you boil it down, the rate of our success depended on me. When we had gotten to the starting line, I remember the sun shining through the clouds and thinking, ‘Man, this has gotta be a good sign, right?’ And once we rowed, we glided through the seawater with ease; the sky became clear and blue. It seemed all was well.…

ancient Greece was surrounded by water from three sides, otherwise known as a peninsula. They were surrounded by salt water, which they didn’t have much use for. The Greeks couldn’t drink the seawater, they couldn’t bathe in it and worst of all they couldn’t irrigate with it. Because they weren’t able to use the seawater to irrigate they didn’t do much farming, so they didn’t have many crops. Since they didn’t have many crops, trading became one of their main sources of food. They sailed across…

During the Holocaust the Jews were tortured and kill. But were the benefits of science justified for the Jewish. Nazi doctors conducted almost as many as 30 different types of experiments on prisoners that were in the concentration camps. You will find out how the Holocaust start as well. They did these experiments to see what the German military could handle in war. You will also find that it wasn’t worth hurting and murdering people in the end. The Nazis started to target the jewish because…

over the broad shelf of the Northwest Pacific Ocean with an average depth of 370 m. Trawling for Chinese fishery in the two seas mainly occurs in coastal waters or in seawater at depth to 300 meters. Based on our in situ investigation, the common warp length of trawlers in the YS and the ECS is several times longer than the seawater depth; thus, warps and nets inevitably plow the seabed when fishing. Consequently, these fishing activities can directly affect marine benthic environments.…

in the pituitary, gonad and thyroid glands. Large doses of TBT have been shown to damage the reproductive and central nervous systems, bone structure, and the gastrointestinal tract of mammals. Chemicals from the paint spread into the surrounding seawater and accumulate in sediments around harbors and along shipping lanes. This is then ingested by marine invertebrates and gets into the food chain (Earth Crash, 1998). Tributyltin gradually erodes, releasing an organic tin compound. Toxic tin…

The tide, salt corrosion, and overwatered lawns can all cause serious damage to a seawall. Unfortunately, homeowners often ignore their seawalls. This can be disastrous as their failure can result in the structures behind them going underwater. To keep this from happening, be on the lookout for indications that your seawall needs to be replaced. Those indications include: A Bowing or Leaning Seawall Your seawall is supposed to protect your waterfront property from erosion. Over time, a steel…

Deforestation increase the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because when trees are burned carbon dioxide is released, carbon dioxide is also, released when trees are decomposed by microorganisms. Cutting down trees also, reduces the amount of carbon dioxides taken up by the photosynthesis and trapped in the wood and carbon dioxide is greenhouse gas therefore, Trees play a huge role in the carbon cycle. They convert the CO2 in the air to oxygen, through the process of photosynthesis.…

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Disaster In March 2011 an earthquake followed by a tsunami caused the destruction of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant releasing radioactive material into the. In 2011 it was reported that long-lived radioactive cesium had contaminated 11,580 square miles of the land surface of Japan 4,550 of which had a radiation level that exceeded Japan’s allowable exposure rate of 1 millisievert per year .The Japanese government then raised the allowable…

Desalination also has the massive amount of ocean water as source meaning even if all water is produced through desalination, sea water would provide an almost inexhaustible supply, which means that even in times of drought like here in the city of Cape Town, people would have sufficient access to fresh water supply needed for growing crops, for daily living and for a lot of other needs. Simply put, it brings an end to water crisis. Cape Town may also benefit from agricultural practices such as…
