There are several things to consider when (a) explained / explaining why the color of the ocean is blue. First, we must consider the oceans ability to absorb and reflect the various colors of the spectrum differently. Secondly, we must consider the different particles in ocean water. The various colors of the light spectrum travel through different substances differently depending on the composition of each substance. For instance, blue light travels into the ocean water, while red light is absorbed quickly. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the molecules in the ocean absorb blue light at first, but then, unlike red light, the blue light is quickly resent and (b) dispersing / dispersed everywhere.

However, occasionally the ocean looks green. In such a situation, there is usually a great amount of vegetation in the water. What happens is that the blue light waves combine with the yellow tissue of the plants to produce the color green.

Therefore, blue light mostly disappears as it travels back from the ocean. But it is the red light that the ocean reflects back into our eyes. As a result, it is mostly blue light that travels back into our eyes. Otherwise, our eyes can only detect blue light from the ocean. However, red light remains longer in the ocean compared to blue light.

(b) Fishing in Canada is split into two groups: Lake Water Fishing and Salt Water Fishing; each type of fishing is a totally different sport. (c) But the number of lakes and the vast ocean shoreline would not make Canada a fishermans paradise if it were not for the great number of fish.

Recent research has shown that, compared to slim people, overweight people are at an increased risk of dying in car accidents. Those who weigh 95 kilograms or more are more likely to die in road fatalities according to the study. One insurance company wants to charge overweight car drivers higher premiums. The company argues that men already pay higher premiums than women because they are at a higher risk of having accidents. In other words, being at a higher risk means men cost insurance companies more because they make more accident claims. Since the research has recently shown that overweight people also are at a higher risk, come into effect yet. It is still, however, an idea that hasnt

Passage

Social Culture Business

Body language is the meaning behind the words or the unspoken language. Surprisingly, studies show that only 10 percent of our communication is verbal. The majority of communication is unspoken. There are some basic interpretations that can help with the understanding of these unspoken meanings. If you dont look someone in the eyes while speaking, this can be interpreted as dishonesty or hiding something. Likewise, shifting eye movements or rapid changing of direction can translate similarly. Other people can tell what type of attitude you have by your attention span. Sometimes you quickly lose focus on the other person or the length of time you focus wanders. This shows through and makes you seem (a) disinteresting / disinterested , (b) boring / bored , and possibly even (c) uncared / uncaring . Try not to fold your arms or cross your legs. This can be seen as defensive or an end to the conversation. So have arms hang freely or hold a glass of water or note-taking instruments while communicating with others. Be open with open arms.

Even when were so full and were about to burst, we still look for dessert. We need a bite of cake or candy at the end of the meal to make it perfect. The English word dessert came from a French word desservir which means to clean up after a meal. Centuries ago, the custom was to have fruits and nuts for dessert. It gradually turned into desserts. Normally, desserts are sweet food. Before the development of the sugar industry in the 19th century, sweets used to be out of reach for the middle class. It was a rare holiday delicacy. Only the aristocracy could afford sweet dishes in their meals.

Following the formation of the Earth, its temperature increased at a great pace because it was being struck by many planetesimals in the solar system. This event is known as the Great Bombardment. As the temperature rose, heavier elements such as iron and nickel sank below the Earths surface, whereas lighter elements remained close to the surface. As a result of this displacement of elements, the Earth is composed of different layers. Scientists distinguish four layers. The inner

core is made up of iron and nickel in an almost liquid state since it is so hot. The outer core is also made up of iron and nickel, but it is not as hot as the inner core so these elements are in

Furthermore, it can also control the atmospheric conditions on each planet and some planets have acceptable atmospheres . The members of this online community can also make up their own alien creatures with unique histories, but once they start writing the history of one community they must remember to make it consistent with the history of other communities. As one continues writing the history, this becomes harder and harder to do. Traveling between communities within a small amount of time is possible since you can travel faster than the speed of light. The different creatures can thus visit one another.

You might even find some that your local newspaper wouldnt have. Youll also be able to watch movie trailers on the Internet. By watching the trailers, you will get a good idea whether you want to go and see the movie or not. You should be, however, a little when watching trailers.

Some people cannot remember a five-digit passcode. Others have a photographic memory and can remember specific details of a scene really well. Why do some people have excellent memories while others do not? Is the cause of a poor memory neglect or genetics? Researchers have proven that the way our brain functions is a result of genetics and the environment. It can be said that 50% of our ability to remember relies on genetic sources, while the other 50% is under our control. So there are some that are born better off than others

| | There are several things to consider when explaining why the color of the ocean is blue. First, we must consider the oceans ability to absorb and reflect the various colors of the spectrum differently. Secondly, we must consider the different particles in ocean water. The various colors of the light spectrum travel through different substances differently depending on the composition of each substance. For instance, blue light travels into the ocean water, while red light is absorbed quickly. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the molecules in the ocean absorb blue light at first, but then, unlike red light, the blue light is quickly resent and dispersed everywhere. As a result, it is mostly blue light that travels back into our eyes. However, occasionally the ocean looks green. In such a situation, there is usually a great amount of vegetation in the water. What happens is that the blue light waves combine with the yellow tissue of the plants to produce the color green. | |

| | Body language is the meaning behind the words or the unspoken language. Surprisingly, studies show that only 10 percent of our communication is verbal. The majority of communication is unspoken. There are some basic interpretations that can help with the understanding of these unspoken meanings. If you dont look someone in the eyes while speaking, this can be interpreted as dishonesty or hiding something. Likewise, shifting eye movements or rapid changing of direction can translate similarly. Other people can tell what type of attitude you have by your attention span. Sometimes you quickly lose focus on the other person or the length of time you focus wanders. This shows through and makes you seem disinterested, bored, and possibly even uncaring. Try not to fold your arms or cross your legs. This can be seen as defensive or an end to the conversation. So have arms hang freely or hold a glass of water or note-taking instruments while communicating with others. Be open with open arms. | |

The English word dessert came from a French word desservir which means to clean up after a meal. Centuries ago, the custom was to have fruits and nuts for dessert. It gradually turned into desserts. Normally, desserts are sweet food. But sweet dishes for dessert are a comparatively new choice. Before the development of the sugar industry in the 19th century, sweets used to be out of reach for the middle class. It was a rare holiday delicacy. Only the aristocracy could afford sweet dishes in their meals. | |

| | Following the formation of the Earth, its temperature increased at a great pace because it was being struck by many planetesimals in the solar system. This event is known as the Great Bombardment. As the temperature rose, heavier elements such as iron and nickel sank below the Earths surface, whereas lighter elements remained close to the surface. As a result of this displacement of elements, the Earth is composed of different layers. Scientists distinguish four layers. The inner core is made up of iron and nickel in an almost liquid state since it is so hot. The outer core is also made up of iron and nickel, but it is not as hot as the inner core so these elements are in solid form. The mantle is the next layer, and it is composed of light elements such as silicon, oxygen and magnesium. The mantle is covered by the crust which is made up of the lightest elements on Earth. The mantle is thicker on the continents than the oceans. | |
