GaryK [48]
Estuaries, often reffered to as the nurseries of the sea provide feedind habitats for many aquatic animals and plants. Fish and shellfish commonly eaten in the U.S such as oyesters and Salmon complete almost half of their lifecycles in estuaries. Due to its shallow water,Pamlico estuary especially provides opportunities such as Fishing, crabbing and watersports as well.
We can be able to determine this concept by basing our facts on two concepts. Nutrient Influx, upon reaching the estuarian ecosystem, the nutrients in the presence of sunlight undergoes photosynthesis and produce phytoplanktons. Basically, where there is sunlight, we can assume there is a nutrient influx. Presence of Phytoplanktons will in turn help attract animals such as fish. Also, another contribution of nutrient influx is manure produced by the animals

Sewage treatment plans and fertilizer runoff. Auto emissions of nitrogen, fertilizers applied on golf courses and home gardens can contribute. Some plankton species may produce toxins that might cause these outbreaks

Distinguish the types of forgetting: anterograde amnesia, retrograde amnesia, encoding failure, retrieval failure, and interfere
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Anterograde amnesia is the inability to create new memories after the onset of amnesia, while memories from before the event remain intact. Brain regions related to this condition include the medial temporal lobe, medial diencephalon, and hippocampus. Anterograde amnesia can be caused by the effects of long-term alcoholism, severe malnutrition, stroke, head trauma, surgery, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, cerebrovascular events, anoxia, or other trauma. Retrograde amnesia is the inability to recall memories made before the onset of amnesia. Retrograde amnesia is usually caused by head trauma or brain damage to parts of the brain other than the hippocampus (which is involved with the encoding process of new memories). Brain damage causing retrograde amnesia can be as varied as a cerebrovascular accident, stroke, tumor, hypoxia, encephalitis, or chronic alcoholism. The there is encoding failure. Encoding is the process of converting sensory input into a form able to be processed and stored in the memory. However, this process can be impacted by a number of factors, and how well information is encoded affects how well it is able to be recalled later. On the other hand, retrieval failure is the failure to recall information in the absence of memory cues. Proactive interference occurs when old memories hinder the ability to make new memories. In this type of interference, old information inhibits the ability to remember new information, such as when outdated scientific facts interfere with the ability to remember updated facts. This often occurs when memories are learned in similar contexts, or regarding similar things. It’s when we have preconceived notions about situations and events, and apply them to current situations and events.Retroactive interference occurs when old memories are changed by new ones, sometimes so much that the original memory is forgotten. This is when newly learned information interferes with and impedes the recall of previously learned information. The ability to recall previously learned information is greatly reduced if that information is not utilized, and there is substantial new information being presented. This often occurs when hearing recent news figures, then trying to remember earlier facts and figures.
