Red Mouth Grouper Vs. The Lion Fish

The red mouth grouper and the lion fish are enemies. They both feed in the same areas so they fight to try to protect there feeding grounds. The red mouth grouper are big, slow, and have a huge mouth. The Lion Fish have red, white, and black stripe spiky venomous fins. 

Euphotic Aphotic Disphotic

In the Euphotic zone I picked a lantern fish. The lantern fish is a small fish that eats plankton. It can produce its own light. Thousands of lantern fish flash there tails at different times to confuse there pretaders. They also send light signals to comunicate with each other. There are over 200 species of lantern fish.

In the Aphotic zone I picked the sea cucumber. It is like starfish and sea urchins. There are 1,250 known species, and many of these animals are indeed shaped like cucumbers. All sea cucumbers are ocean dwellers, though some live the shallows and others live in the deep ocean. They live on the ocean floor. They eat algae. 

In the Disphotic zone I picked the Angelshark. They live under the sand during the day and they hunt for food during the night. The have a long thin body and fins that look like wings. They live in warm oceans, and they like to eat random fish and squid. They can grow up to 5 feet long.

J- Perfume evaporates off a woman's skin, and is smelled by someone several feet away.

The key concepts would be, 2 Diffusion, 3 Dissolving, and 4 Latent Heat.
The perfume would spread throughout the particles in the air. Which would be diffusion.
The skin would absorb the chemical of the perfume. Which would be latent heat.
The perfume would go up your nose and dissolve. Which would be Dissolving.

Seasonal Seas

      The giant crab is not on the bottom of the food chain, but it is not at the top. Crabs are carrion eaters which means they eat the leftovers of bigger animals prey. They also eat pieces of dead fish and what ever winds up on the ocean floor. Fish with powerful bone crushing jaws eat crabs. Birds will pick the crabs up and drop them on rocks to crack their shells.

Blue Planet

This blog is about the polar bears in the Arctic. Polar bears are Abiotic and Biotic. They have thick fur that keeps them warm. They eat just about any living thing they can find. They like to eat babby seals that are buried in the snow. When the ice melts they go find land or thick ice that wont melt to hibernate. The bears are at the top of the food chain in the arctic. So they dont have to run or hide from predators. I picked this picture because I think it looks funny.

30 Degrees South Pacific Ocean

Our line runs through the Australian, Pacific, Nazca, and the South American Plate. The continental shelf lasts for about 200 miles. Then the continental slope drops down 1000 ft and runs for about 400 ft. The continental rise drops down about 500 ft and runs for 300 ft. then there is a conversion trench that goes as deep as 5419 feet deep. It is about 4000 feet wide. There is not much of a continental slope, shelf, or rise when we hit South America. I think I combined what I was supposed to talk about into one paragraph.

Blue Planet, Open Ocean

My favorite thing about the movie we watched was the Sun Fish. I thought it was weird that they had parasites on them. I thought it was nasty that birds ate the parasites. The sun fish should just stay at the top of the ocean. It doesn't make any since that they stay at the bottom of the ocean.
