Sorry I have not posted in a while... it's been a little busy round here.
In Marine Ecology we have been focusing on biomes in the ocean - and there are a lot of them. On the East Coast right here in Virginia, we can find salt marshes, sea grasses, sandy beaches, and maritime forests. In Florida you can find mangroves (trees that grow in salt water) and coral reefs. On the west coast, rocky coasts and kelp forests are the two dominant biomes.
Other biomes found on the ocean include the ones at the bottom like the deep sea benthos, whalefall, and hydrothermal vents. These biomes exist without sunlight, but the first two get nutrient inputs from the surface. Other biomes include the polar seas, open ocean (pictures with the mola mola), and the daily migration from the aphotic to the photic to feed.
The unit 3 test is tomorrow and covers plankton, seaweed, sea shores, and biomes. After that we will begin Unit 4 Molluscs (slimy squishy things with sea shells).

sometimes isn't exactly even. Covalent molecules or bonds are no different.
