The red tides are caused because of the algal blooms, which discolor the ocean's water. These tides are red because of the presence of the pigments known as phycobilin. The blue phycocynin and red phycoerythrin contributes to the red color of these tides. The chlorophyll a contained in most of these algae are seen only when the algal blooms although at other times they are still present but deep in the ocean where they cannot be seen.

The green tides will be produced when the green algae, chlorophyta, blooms. These algae obtain energy from the sun for photosynthesis.

Red tide is a phenomenon which appears when there are large concentrations (a rapid increase of algae population) of unicellular algae. This phenomenon is also known as an algae bloom and it depends on a lot of factors like wind, temperature, nutrients, and salinity. It is usually caused by species of dinoflagellates. Because algae contain photosynthetic pigments that vary in color from brown to red, the water appears to be discolored. The green blooms (“green tide”) in water systems are frequently a result of cyanobacteria.

djyliett [7]
Different colored bands in each solvent signify the different materials that are found in the substance that is been analysed.
The green band in the solvent represent the green chlorophyll which are found in leaves. Chlorophyll is the substance which gives the plants the capacity to trap energy from the sun for production of food.

Characteristics of living things
galben [10]
Defining a living thing is a difficult proposition, as is defining “life”—that property possessed by living things. However, a living thing possesses certain properties that help define what life is.a living thing is composed of one or more cells. These units, generally too small to be seen with the naked eye, are organized into tissues.

How can particle interactions explain the properties and behavior of dry ice?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO2). The particle interaction in dry ice is due to collision between inter-particles which results in agglomeration and shows the properties and behavior of dry ice.

The inter-particle collision in dry ice keeps the high temperature of dry-ice and make it sublimate (solid to gas) at room temperature and normal pressure.

The collision of carbon atoms in dry ice also makes it highly reactive and shows chemical properties of dry ice. When dry ice is added with magnesium, it left black powder, which is carbon
