since 1947, which is to be believed when the 'Age of UFOs' started (Stacey 55).

Deep Ocean Trenches
<view this essay>.... concerning the origin of trenches. No abnormalities in the flow of internal Earth heat or variations in the Earth's magnetic
field occur at trenches. Precision measurements reveal that the force of gravity generally is lower than normal. Small quantities of brown or red clay, which are signs of organic remains, volcanic ash and lapilli, and coarse, graded layers are found in the trench. Large amounts of remains cannot build up because they either are dragged into the Earth's interior or are distorted into folded masses and molded into new material of the continents.
Deep trench in the sea bed indicating the presence of a destructive margin (produced by the .....

photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). In some plants, but not all, his
response occurs particularly during the morning and late afternoon, when the
light is coming at more of an angle and the water stress is not as severe
(Donahue and Vogelmann). Under these conditions the lamina of the leaf is
within less than 15° from the normal to the sun. Many plants that exhibit
diaheliotropic movements also show paraheliotropic response as well.
Paraheliotropism minimizes water loss by reducing the amount of light absorbed
by the leaves; the leaves orient themselves parallel to the sun’s rays. Plants
that exhibit paraheliotropic beha .....

Black Smokers
<view this essay>.... the water are so dense that that it instantly turns inky black. These formations are considered so important because they are believed to contain clues to how life on earth originated.

Some of these include giant clams, giant worms, and all sorts of different organisms.

Global Warming 2
<view this essay>.... global temperatures are rising.
Energy from the sun makes the earth's weather and climate, and heats the earth; in return. Greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases) trap some of the energy that leaves, botteling heat like the glass panels of a greenhouse.
Without this natural "greenhouse effect," temperatures would be alot lower than they are now, and life like today would not work. Instead, thanks to greenhouse gases, the earth's average temperature is better, 60°F. But, problems may happen when the amount of
greenhouse gases increases.
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, great amounts of carbon diox .....

Predator - Prey Relationships
<view this essay>.... Symbiotic interactions
include forms of parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism.
The first topic of discussion in symbiosis is parasitism. Parasitism is
when the relationship between two animal populations becomes intimate and the
individuals of one population use the other population as a source of food and
can be located in or on the host animal or animal of the other
population(Boughey 1973). No known organism escapes being a victim of
parasitism(Brum 1989).
Parasitism is similar to preditation in the sense that the parasite derives
nourishment from the host on which it feeds and the predator derives nourishment
from the prey on which it feeds .....
