Ocean Surface Topography. Orbiting spacecrafts make highly accurate measurements of the height of the ocean surface - commonly called 'sea level' - to gather long-term information about the world's ocean and its currents. ... The geoid is the shape the sea surface would have if all the currents and tides stopped.
Answer:
Microarray technology is a very useful technology that allows to study the measure the expression levels of large numbers of genes simultaneously. It consists of a solid support (that can be glass, silice, or nylon), and to it are attached a lot of single stranded DNA fragments that acts like probes. By complementarity, the genes corresponding to this probes that are being expressed at some time will attach to it. Probe-target hybridization is usually detected and quantified by detection of a fluorophore compund, a silver stained, or chemiluminescence-labeled targets.
They must have a list of biomes there. When they say which one is endangered they mean which one is likely to no longer exsist after an amount of time.
