Horizontal and vertical ocean currents Ocean currents are horizontal or vertical movement of both surface and deep water throughout the world’s oceans (Briney, n.d.). The primary generating forces are wind and differences in water density caused by variations in temperature and salinity. Currents generated by these forces are modified by factors such as the depth of the water, ocean floor topography and deflection by the rotation of the Earth. Horizontal currents are wind driven, fast moving and
There are two causes of ocean currents: wind and convection. The more important of the two is convection. The act of convection in a fluid is the tendency of a heated part of the fluid to rise up due to the fact the it is less dense and it is replaced by cooler fluid which is then heated, rises up, and again replaced by cooler fluid. There has been plenty of recent research on the topic of ocean currents and convection, some of which might change the way we view the ocean. In this paper I will
2: If you want to get an indication of what affects ocean´s currents we first need to separate the currents in two different currents, each of them being influenced by different variables. The surface currents are mostly generated by wind, the shape of landmasses nearby and the Coriolis force. The effects of these currents are most noticeable until a depth of 400 meters. Below around 400 meters deep we will see the effects of deep-water currents. These are affected by differences in density and saltiness
The ocean covers about three quarters of the earth’s surface and plays a vital role in our survival. It bounty feeds millions of people daily. Its surface absorbs more than ninety five percent of the solar radiation that reaches our planet. It is integral to the water cycle and it regulates our planets climate. But none of these roles would be fulfilled without the movement of the ocean. The currents, ribbons of movement within the greater body of water, provide the means with which our ocean distributes
What pressures are being put on the environment? The Gyre is causing global warming by changing the temperatures of the waters. By every degree that changes regarding climate change many oceans levels increases, fires become common, the ice in the arctic starts to dissolve. By the amount of plastic that is produced per year and been thrown without recycling can cause for the degrees to increase. What abiotic factors are affected? Describe the changes Temperature is one of the main abiotic factors
others have led meteorologist, ocean scientist and other researchers to investigate currents. According to the oxforddictionaries.com, a current is a body of water or air moving in a definite direction, especially through a surrounding body of water or air in which there is less movement. Currents can be generated both on the ocean surface flowing horizontally and sub surface flowing vertically. However these currents are generated by different factors. Horizontal currents are generated by the wind blowing
One of the many books I have read about running a construction business and how to perform and create successful financial sheets to make sure your business is doing well is through a book I read this semester called, A Simple Guide to Turning a Profit as a Contractor, by Melanie Hodgdon and Leslie Shiner. Some background about the book is about a man who owns a residential construction remodeling business who is not doing financially well as managing and keeping track of the jobs with old school
A ship is sinking so everyone pills get on a lifeboat that is only supposed to hold seven. Thirty people all on one lifeboat so it is too heavy to row without sinking and a life-threatening storm is on its way sending people into a panic. There is only one way to possibly save at least a few people, which is to kick people off the lifeboat into the water. Ethically this would save lives as long as natural instincts are ignored and everyone one board knows that the bible asks that people give up their

Federal forces retook the Eastern area of Mosul last month from ISIS after more than two years of tyrannical rule by the jihadist group and weeks of bitter combat. After ISIS was driven out a vet and volunteers from Four Paws were finally able to visit the zoo from hell. What the found shocked them, all the animals were killed by shelling, starved to death or ate each other. When they group search every square meter of the Mosul zoo, only Simba the lion and Lula the bear remained as the only
“It’s all edible! All edible, except the squeal!” (Okja). Bong Joon-ho’s film, Okja, was not only Netflix’s first original film to make a splash with audiences around the world, but also the first Netflix produced film to take to the big screens at the Cannes Film Festival (Taubin 30). While it was at first met with boos by the audience, by the end of the movie the Cannes audience was roaring with applause (Taubin 30). Okja captures the lighthearted moments of friendship between a girl and her best
good place my job life suffers too. Some days at work I feel I am just going through the motions and not giving 100% to my clients. During the meeting, she wanted my response on 6 options ranging from promotions to travel as well as maintaining my current job. I realized I was going to have to give a lot of thought to the matter and make sure that the decision I was about to make would line up with who I
result may be quite different than other processes. AI presumes that current staff resources are a valuable aspect of determining what change is necessary and how that change should take place. Cooperrider stated that AI was the “…cooperative search for the best in people, their organizations, and the world around them…” (1999, p. 245-261) AI doesn’t focus on the problem. It focuses on the future state. The premise is that current members of the organization are responsible for “Preferred Futuring
Inc.: Young Division, Old Division" (HBS) The January 22, 2010 Harvard article entitled, “Stone Finch, Inc.: Young Division, Old Division” describes the obstacles that Jim Billings, president and CEO of Stone Finch, Inc. is currently facing. The current status of the company was examined in detail and a number of problems were discovered. This paper is based on the information provided and is divided into two sections. The first section discusses the challenges, root causes and sources of misalignment
and what in the organization is in need of change. One of the reason’s this model is still used is because of the simplicity of it. The three primary characteristics of this change model according to Lawler and Sillitoe (2010) is unfreezing the current processes, instituting a change of those processes, and stopping the attitudes that come with change. As an organization that rotates leadership and personnel every three to four years, I do see this Career planner is an actual job, but we did
Identify and analyse the challenges experienced in the project (explicitly address the challenges in moving from the status of project into operations). As the project is still in the construction phase, the responses will address challenges encountered during the project lifecycle and not operational challenges. Clinical Engagement Consultation Challenges The project has experienced considerable challenges in relation to the consultation process with the vast array of Clinicians and user groups
Lebron James: Hometown Hero Lebron James capitalizes on the importance of family throughout the article. He is announcing to the fans and “haters” that he will be returning to Cleveland. He is also incorporating the fact that he is apologizing for his actions in the past. He emphasizes the importance of family and relationships in order to capture the emotions of his audience. James uses rhetorical appeals, such as logic and reasoning, in "I'm coming home" to convey that he is sorry for his actions:
In an article I found in the French newspaper (24heures/24h), which addressed an issue suffered by a lot of people in Montreal; A woman by the name of Nadya Mirarchi who fell and badly broke her ankle, underwent an operation, and is now suing the city of Montreal who are responsible for the incident. This incident has caused serious problems to a lot of people a relevant example being Mirarchi's inflammation and formation of clogs in her ankle as well as having to wait until the inflammation wares
in society have led to diverse situations in which people are either overworked or underworked with almost none left in between. It seems farfetched and you may be saying to yourself that your own career plan will not allow that to happen, but the current conditions of our society, specifically of the crucial middle class work force in America, begs to differ and points to that very nightmare becoming reality. The excessive work load we’ve become accustomed to here in America, coupled with an ever
The implementation phase of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is the most perplexing and crucial part of the project. Riordan Manufacturing has carefully chosen the stakeholders to ensure implementation of the Human Resources system. Going forward, a decision needs to be made in regards to what departments get the system installed first to last. The first group to use this new HR system will be the Information Technology department, followed by Human Resources. Going in this order will be
