The world’s oceans are home to an incredibly diverse array of life and are vital to human health, livelihood, and culture. Despite these rich benefits, oceans, marine wildlife, and their ecosystems continue to be damaged by human activities. Watch this presentation to learn more!
This presentation is for my school assessment on global environments. I chose coral reefs. My project explains coral reefs and the geographical processes involved with it as well.
Importance of coral reefs & its propertiesDr. sreeremya S
As these corals grow and die, they leave behind their calcium carbonate skeletons. On these skeletons, other corals grow. As the year’s passes, walls of coral begin to form: massive walls of rock (Kleypas, 1999).
As the waves and currents beat upon these reefs, nooks, crannies, ledges and caverns form in these walls. Just as there are different types of corals, there are different types of coral reefs. The three major types of reefs are fringing reefs, barrier reefs and atolls(Langdon,2000).Like coral reefs , sponges are also a wonderful resource, which has immense applications (Sreeremya et al.,2018).

Ocean Pollution Essay
Everything in this world we use comes from the ocean in some way. The air we breathe, the water we drink, even the products we use day to day, would not be possible without the ocean. That s why the issue of ocean pollution is so important and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. We depend on the ocean for so much in our life, without it we would surely become extinct. People seem to think that since the ocean is so large and vast, we can dump as much waste as we d like into it and it will never have an effect on us. However, since we ve been polluting the ocean as far back as Roman times, the evidence of ocean pollution becoming a major problem is all too clear.
There are many different ways the ocean can become polluted....show more content...Fishnets improperly discarded into the ocean can also cause major issues, tangling into unsuspecting mammals and fish. According to the Marin Academy s Oceanography website, there are over 46,000 pieces of plastic floating in each square mile of ocean off the Northeast coast of the United States, which contributes to the death of 100,000 marine mammals and two millions sea birds yearly.
A way you wouldn t expect pollution to be caused is by noise. The pressure from the sounds omitted by ships, sonar devices, oil rigs, and earthquakes can disrupt communication, hunting, migration, and reproduction patterns from many marine animals like whales and dolphins. This can throw the whole system off balance. Air pollution can also cause ocean pollution by being absorbed into the water and contaminating it, and vice versa. Ocean pollution can eventually cause air pollution. Dirt can also spill into waterways from top soil or silt from fields or construction sites, causing endangerment to fish and wildlife habitats.
Out of all of these ways, oil spills can cause a noticeably excessive amount of damage to the ocean. Although only 12% of the oil entering the sea is caused by spills, they can deteriorate ocean life and environment more than any other pollution. One gallon of used oil spilled into the ocean, which contains toxic chemicals and heavy metals severely dangerous to the micro organism at the base of the food chain, can cause an eight acre layer

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
12. Global Warming Definition: Depletion of the ozone layer and warming of the planet. Causes: Factories, Trucks/Cars, Deforestation, ect. They admit chlorine through industrial produced CFC’s of gas. Raises temperature within the atmosphere and lets in ultraviolet rays from the sun. CO2,CH4, CFC, NO cause infrared rays to get trapped in the atmosphere.
13. Consequences of Global Warming Ultraviolet rays that reach Earths surface cause coral bleaching. The temperature increase causes coral bleaching.- As little of an increase of 1 degree Celsius can cause coral bleaching. 1,000 species could potentially lose their home. Ice is melting- Polar bears have little habitat and a great loss of hunting grounds. Heat exhaustion is affecting them also. - They will go extinct within the wild within the next few decades.
26. Pollution Chain 80 % of marine pollution comes from land based activities. Pollution deposits in the waters and estuaries Build up there concentrations, become toxic Become part of marine food chain Don’t care till human casualties
27. Where Else Does It Go Doesn’t stop and stay in water Many currents take it for a ride Wind moves rubbish around real good Washes ashore on coast line Pollutes land to the sea, and back to the land Never ending battle with an enemy that cant quit without human action
30. Where does it come from Only 2 % of hydro carbon pollution comes from tanker accident 11% is from natural sources (tar-sands, oil seeps) 13% comes from the atmosphere 24% comes from all forms of transport 50% comes from drains and rivers leading into the sea - US National Science Foundation
31. Seems small Tankers accidents may only be 2% But in 1967 - Torrey Canyon ran aground off the English channel - 106,000 tons of oil - smallest of tanker accident, 2% is not small
32. A Very Big Accident http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1U-iWUPOYA
33. Exxon Valdez 20,000 barrels an hour 256,000 gallons afternoon 11 million gallons Biggest Tanker Accident to happen on American waters
45. Recovery in Prince William Sound? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbjC9SMKClE
46. Seems Big Exxon Valdez horrible accident 1980 Norwuz Field Spill - Arabia 80 Million Gallons 1992 Fergana Valley Spill - Uzbekistan 80 Million Gallons
47.
48.
49. Other forms of major pollution Nuclear/Radioactive waste Sewage Munitions disposal
53. OVERFISHING 75% of Marine environment has been overfished. Without laws to protect the fish population from being overfished, 950 million people will lose their main source of protein. Could cause us to lose large numbers of species and/or biodiversity within the ecosystem of the ocean. Once you have affected the population of fish, you affect other species by depleting their food source and the ecosystems cycle of life.
54. Pollution and Littering Runoff- Septic tanks, car fuels, boats, chemicals from farms and ranches. Littering- Garbage bags, balloons, plastic, cigarette filters. OIL SPILLS!
