The water in and around the Galveston bay. The reason for the water to be brown in that area is because of the sediments and other material which are suspended to be brown in the water.
The water in the Galveston is shallow as a reason of which the sediments and the sand turn over in that area is high, making it look brown in color instead of blue. Thus water seems to be dirty and muddy at many point of time.
Answer:
The five main latitude regions of Earth's surface comprise geographical zones[1], divided by the major circles of latitude. The differences between them relate to climate. They are as follows:
The North Frigid Zone, between the North Pole at 90° N and the Arctic Circle at 66° 33' N, covers 4.12% of Earth's surface.
The North Temperate Zone, between the Arctic Circle at 66° 33' N and the Tropic of Cancer at 23° 27' N, covers 25.99% of Earth's surface.
The Torrid Zone, between the Tropic of Cancer at 23° 27' N and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° 27' S, covers 39.78% of Earth's surface.
The South Temperate Zone, between the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° 27' S and the Antarctic Circle at 66° 33' S, covers 25.99% of Earth's surface.
The South Frigid Zone, from the Antarctic Circle at 66° 33' S and the South Pole at 90° S, covers 4.12% of Earth's surface.

Explanation:
The Hayward earthquake which happened in 1868 was minimal in terms of death of people (Approximately 5 ) and the properties destroyed. This is because, then, the area was sparsely populated.
