Nicotine on direct application in humans causes irritation and burning sensation in the mouth and throat, increased salivation, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Predominant immediate effects consist of increase in pulse rate and blood pressure. Nicotine also causes an increase in plasma free fatty acids, hyperglycemia, and an increase in the level of catecholamines in the blood. There is reduced coronary blood flow but an increased skeletal muscle blood flow. The increased rate of respiration causes hypothermia, a hypercoagulable state, decreases skin temperature, and increases the blood viscosity.
For amphetamine the immediate effects are quicker reaction times, feelings of energy/wakefulness, excitement, increased attentiveness and concentration, feelings of euphoria. Side effects of amphetamines can include heart palpitations, dry mouth, headache, hostility, nausea, cognitive impairment, severe anxiety, lack of appetite, teeth grinding, dizziness, increased heart rate, heart palpitations, rapid breathing rate, hypertension (high blood pressure), increased body temperature, erectile dysfunction, irregular heartbeat.
Cocaine causes a short-lived, intense high that is immediately followed by the opposite intense depression, edginess and a craving for more of the drug the side effects are Loss of appetite increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, contracted blood vessels increased rate of breathing, dilated pupils, disturbed sleep patterns, nausea, hyperstimulation, bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior hallucinations, hyperexcitability, irritability, tactile hallucination that creates the illusion of bugs burrowing under the skin, intense euphoria, anxiety and paranoia, depression, intense drug craving, panic and psychosis, convulsions, seizures and sudden death from high doses (even one time)
El Niño as evidence of potential dangers of global warming to marine ecosystems
Explanation:
El Nino, an abnormal type of weather pattern, causes huge climatic variations globally by bringing floods in one region and drought in another region. These extremely changing patterns in weather can damage human life, agriculture, air quality, natural ecosystems, etc all of which might lead to global warming.
El Nino effect is a serious potential danger to the marine life. This causes variations in the sea surface temperature, ocean currents, and upwelling patterns. Due to this, many marine organisms either migrate to newer places or do not survive the change.
Due to this, other sea animals depended on them also are depleted of their food source. El Nino also impacts the structure of coral reefs causing coral bleaching which in turn affects the marine life.
The sandstone arches found in arches national park, utah, are an example of Sedimentary rock. Sandstone is composed of cemented sand grains and is the cliff-forming rock commonly seen in southern Utah. Two famous formations are the Entrada Sandstone seen in Arches National Park, and the Navajo Sandstone (Checkerboard Mesa) in Zion National Park.
