The high specific heat capacity of water moderates our climate and allows for life on Earth.
Because it takes a great deal of heat to warm up water, water stays cool longer, and acts as an effective coolant. This is why cool "sea breezes" are welcome on a hot summer's day.
On the contrary, once the water is warmed up, it takes a great deal of heat release to cool the water. This keeps warm winds blowing in off large lakes and oceans in the fall and into the winter, making the temperatures not as frigid as they otherwise could be.
This also accounts for the amounts of precipitation that occur around large lakes, such as the Great Lakes, and oceans.
Answer:
Many Middle Eastern countries have been transitioning from largely rural living to urban living. City populations are growing quickly as people move to find jobs. However, environmental problems have come with this rapid urbanization. Many urban areas are experiencing air and water pollution. Air pollution is occurring due to the region's reliance on toxic energy sources, oil and gas. Oil and gas release emissions into the air when consumed by factories or cars. Cities are also experiencing water pollution issues due to a lack of waste treatment options. Without places to dispose of waste, people are dumping sewage and industrial waste into water sources. Finally, urban coastal areas are having problems with coastal degradation. Soil erodes and wildlife habitats are destroyed as land is changed for urban development.
Explanation:
Euglenoids are unicellular organisms whose classification as plants or animals can be debated equally either way. They exhibit both plant and animal characteristics. They are not related to any algae, but because they occupy the same kinds of habitats as algae and are of comparable simplicity, they are included in this study of algae. Zoologists include them in studies of single-celled animals known as protozoa.
General facts about euglenoids are
Pigments: Green; a few are colorless - chl a + b and carotenoids
Habitat: Marine & Fresh water
<span>Body types: Single cell</span>
