Question:
 The planet's heating seems to be causing a breakdown in worldwide oceanic currents, potentially leading to significant climatic shifts.

This rephrased statement maintains the original sentence structure while changing some of the key terms for variety: "appears" becomes "seems," "global ocean circulation" changes into "worldwide oceanic currents," and "collapsing" transforms to "breakdown." It also adds an extra detail about possible consequences ("potentially leading to significant climatic shifts") that aligns with what would logically follow from such a development without increasing overall sentence complexity or significantly altering meaning.

 Implications of Disrupted Global Ocean Currents Amidst Climate Change
The disruption of global ocean circulation systems, crucial for regulating temperatures across continents, seems perilously close to collapse under escalating planetary warmth. These currents play pivotal roles in distributing heat around the globe; hence any significant alteration could trigger drastic regional weather changes. Notably, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), akin to a conveyor belt transporting warmer waters northward before they cool down and sink near the poles, appears particularly vulnerable. Its weakening has been linked to rapid Arctic sea-ice retreat and freshwater influx into the North Atlantic, phenomena exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change. Scientists warn that if AMOC collapses entirely, Europe might face cooler climates while tropical regions experience more intense droughts - all part of a complex chain reaction affecting ecosystems globally.

This scenario eerily mirrors past instances where disrupted oceanic flows led to dramatic shifts in historical climates, contributing significantly to major cooling events known scientifically as "Ice Ages". However, unlike those naturally occurring cycles spanning millennia, current trends suggest humans inadvertently fast-track what would otherwise evolve gradually over centuries through excessive carbon dioxide emission. Thus emphasizing urgent need for international cooperation aimed at mitigating further damage whilst exploring adaptive strategies necessary should worst-case projections materialize sooner rather than later.

Delphic ambiguity is forecasting which is heavily qualified or subject to misinterpretation -- a practice attributed to a oracle of Delphi , who answered a question by saying that a great empire would fall if Croesus crossed the River Halys , which was a logical step in his plan to attack the Persian Empire . Such ambiguities are often presumed intentional in their superficial appearance of providing more information than critical examination of their content would support -- for example , that famous prophecy might be expected to `` come true '' whichever of those two respective kingdoms ' armies was defeated in detail at the battle which in due course took place beyond that river .   Professional economic projections are sometimes labelled as delphic because of the degree of conditional detail forced by variables that can at best only be estimated .   Category : Forecasting

Repetition compulsion is a psychological phenomenon in which a person repeats a traumatic event or its circumstances over and over again . This includes reenacting the event or putting oneself in situations where the event is likely to happen again . This `` re-living '' can also take the form of dreams in which memories and feelings of what happened are repeated , and even hallucination .   The term can also be used to cover the repetition of behaviour or life patterns more broadly : a `` key component in Freud 's understanding of mental life , ` repetition compulsion ' ... describes the pattern whereby people endlessly repeat patterns of behaviour which were difficult or distressing in earlier life '' .

A lava bench is a volcanic landform with a horizontal surface raised above the level of the surrounding area . They are created when molten lava travels away from a volcanic vent and expands an old shoreline . This is the process that creates new land in the ocean that life can eventually grow on . The Hawaiian islands are an example of land that was formed this way , and the Big Island is currently still expanding due to lava benches . The Kilauea Volcano releases lava that flows down the slope of the volcano and eventually encounters the ocean ; this lava flow hardens when it comes into contact with the significantly cooler water of the ocean and forms an unstable lava bench . Eventually , when the material beneath the lava bench stabilizes , it become stable land that has been added to the island . If a newly formed lava bench rests on sediments , it may pose hazards due to its extremely unstable structure . Oftentimes , these benches are so unstable that they collapse into the sea , exposing the water to the hot lava on the interior of the bench and releasing acres of land into the ocean . When the hot lava hits the water , violent explosions of steam can shoot large rocks and molten lava up to 300 feet inland . These collapses are extremely dangerous because they can happen without warning , and anyone or anything on the bench will be caught in the collapse . For safety , people are advised not to walk on lava benches because of their unstable nature , and they must maintain a safe distance from the lava bench .

In seismology , the depth of focus or focal depth refers to the depth at which an earthquake occurs . Earthquakes occurring at a depth of less than 70 km are classified as shallow-focus earthquakes , while those with a focal depth between 70 km and 300 km are commonly termed mid-focus or intermediate-depth earthquakes . In subduction zones , where older and colder oceanic crust descends beneath another tectonic plate , deep-focus earthquakes may occur at much greater depths in the mantle , ranging from 300 km up to 700 km .   The cause of deep-focus earthquakes is still not entirely understood since subducted lithosphere at that pressure and temperature regime should not exhibit brittle behavior . A possible mechanism for the generation of deep-focus earthquakes is faulting caused by olivine undergoing a phase transition into a spinel structure , with which they are believed to be associated . Earthquakes at this depth of focus typically occur at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries , along Wadati -- Benioff zones .

Davy Jones ' Locker , also Davy Jones 's Locker , is an idiom for the bottom of the sea : the state of death among drowned sailors and shipwrecks . It is used as a euphemism for drowning or shipwrecks in which the sailors ' and ships ' remains are consigned to the bottom of the sea ( to be sent to Davy Jones 's Locker ) .   The origins of the name of Davy Jones , the sailors ' devil , are unclear , with a 19th-century dictionary tracing Davy Jones to a `` ghost of Jonah '' . Other explanations of this nautical superstition have been put forth , including an incompetent sailor or a pub owner who kidnapped sailors .

A reef aquarium or reef tank is a marine aquarium that prominently displays live corals and other marine invertebrates as well as fish that play a role in maintaining the tropical coral reef environment . A reef aquarium requires appropriately intense lighting , turbulent water movement , and more stable water chemistry than fish-only marine aquaria , and careful consideration is given to which reef animals are appropriate and compatible with each other .

The Racing Rules of Sailing ( often abbreviated to RRS ) govern the conduct of yacht racing , windsurfing , kitesurfing , model boat racing , dinghy racing and virtually any other form of racing around a course with more than one vessel while powered by the wind . A new revision is published every four years ( after the Olympic Games ) by World Sailing , the sport 's world governing body . Full information on the rules can be downloaded at World Sailing .

Radical translation is a thought experiment in Word and Object , a major philosophical work from American philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine . It is used as an introduction to his theory of the indeterminacy of translation , and specifically to prove the point of inscrutability of reference . Using this concept of radical translation , Quine paints a setting where a linguist discovers a native linguistic community whose linguistic system is completely unrelated to any language familiar to the linguist . Quine then describes the steps taken by the linguist in his attempt to fully translate this unfamiliar language based on the only data he has ; the events happening around him combined with the verbal and non-verbal behaviour of natives .

In mathematics , computer science , and logic , rewriting covers a wide range of ( potentially non-deterministic ) methods of replacing subterms of a formula with other terms . What is considered are rewriting systems ( also known as rewrite systems , rewrite engines or reduction systems ) . In their most basic form , they consist of a set of objects , plus relations on how to transform those objects .   Rewriting can be non-deterministic . One rule to rewrite a term could be applied in many different ways to that term , or more than one rule could be applicable . Rewriting systems then do not provide an algorithm for changing one term to another , but a set of possible rule applications . When combined with an appropriate algorithm , however , rewrite systems can be viewed as computer programs , and several declarative programming languages are based on term rewriting .

A rapid is a section of a river with turbulent water flow .   Rapid may also refer to :


Question: The planet's heating seems to be causing a breakdown in worldwide oceanic currents, leading to potential catastrophic consequences for marine ecosystems and weather patterns globally. This disruption could result from melting ice caps and increased freshwater input into the oceans, which can alter density gradients that drive these crucial circulation systems.

 Impacts of Global Warming on Ocean Currents

Ocean currents play a crucial role in regulating temperatures across the globe; however, recent studies suggest they might be weakening significantly because of rising planetary warmth. This phenomenon could lead us down an uncertain path where weather extremes become more frequent and unpredictable. Scientists attribute this alarming trend mostly to anthropogenic actions leading up until now - namely burning fossil fuels which release carbon dioxide into atmosphere causing enhanced greenhouse effect trapping heat within earth system thus resulting into accelerated melting glaciers & sea level rise among others issues affecting marine ecosystems balance negatively impacting countless aquatic lifeforms depending upon stable salinity levels amongst many critical parameters necessary for survival. Furthermore, disruptions in thermohaline circulation can trigger feedback loops exacerbating already dire consequences associated w/ unchecked GHG emissions if left unaddressed promptly through international cooperation aimed at curbing pollution sources while promoting sustainable development practices going forward.

In sports , a stage , or leg , or heat , is a unit of a race which has been divided in several parts for the reason such as length of the distance to be covered , as in a multi-day event . Usually , such a race consists of `` ordinary '' stages , but sometimes stages are held as an individual time trial or a team time trial . Long races such as the Tour de France , Absa Cape Epic or the Giro d'Italia are known for their stages of one day each , whereas the boat sailing VELUX 5 Oceans Race is broken down in usually four stages of several weeks duration each , where the competitors are racing continuously day and night . In bicycling and running events , a race with stages is known as a stage race .

In electronics , an LED circuit or LED driver is an electrical circuit used to power a light-emitting diode ( LED ) . The circuit must provide sufficient current to light the LED at the required brightness , but must limit the current to prevent damaging the LED . The voltage drop across an LED is approximately constant over a wide range of operating current ; therefore , a small increase in applied voltage greatly increases the current . Very simple circuits are used for low-power indicator LEDs . More complex , current source circuits are required when driving high-power LEDs for illumination to achieve correct current regulation .

A one-hundred-year flood is a flood event that has a 1 % probability of occurring in any given year . The 100-year flood is also referred to as the 1 % flood , since its annual exceedance probability is 1 % . For river systems , the 100-year flood is generally expressed as a flowrate . Based on the expected 100-year flood flow rate , the flood water level can be mapped as an area of inundation . The resulting floodplain map is referred to as the 100-year floodplain . Estimates of the 100-year flood flowrate and other streamflow statistics for any stream in the United States are available . In the UK The Environment Agency publishes a comprehensive map of all areas at risk of a 1 in 100 year flood ( Flood zone 3 ) Areas near the coast of an ocean or large lake also can be flooded by combinations of tide , storm surge , and waves . Maps of the riverine or coastal 100-year floodplain may figure importantly in building permits , environmental regulations , and flood insurance .

A desalter is a process unit in an oil refinery that removes salt from the crude oil . The salt is dissolved in the water in the crude oil , not in the crude oil itself . The desalting is usually the first process in crude oil refining . The salt content after the desalter is usually measured in PTB - pounds of salt per thousand barrels of crude oil . Another specification is Basic sediment and water   The term desalter may also refer to a water desalination facility used to treat brackish water from agricultural runoff . This may be done either to produce potable water for human or animal consumption , or to reduce the salinity of river water prior to its crossing an international border , usually to comply with the terms of a treaty . Desalters are also used to treat groundwater reservoirs in areas impacted by cattle feedlots and dairies .

Destructive fishing practices are practices that easily result in irreversible damage to aquatic habitats and ecosystems . Many fishing techniques can be destructive if used inappropriately , but some practices are particularly likely to result in irreversible damage . These practices are mostly , though not always , illegal . Where they are illegal , they are often inadequately enforced .

Diastrophism refers to deformation of the Earth 's crust , and more especially to folding and faulting . Diastrophism can be considered part of geotectonics . Diastrophism comes from the Greek word meaning a twisting .   All processes that move , elevate or build up portions of the earth 's crust come under diastrophism . They include : ( i ) orogenic processes involving mountain building through severe folding and affecting long and narrow belts of the earth 's crust ; ( ii ) epeirogenic processes involving uplift or warping of large parts of the earth 's crust ; ( iii ) earthquakes involving local relatively minor movements ; ( iv ) plate tectonics involving horizontal movements of crustal plates .   Diastrophism covers movement of solid ( plastic ) crust material , as opposed to movement of molten material which is covered by volcanism . Movement causes rock to be bent or broken . The most obvious evidence of disastrophic movement can be seen where sedimentary rocks have been bent , broken or tilted . Such non-horizontal strata provide visual proof of movement . Diastrophic movement can be classified as two types , folding and faulting , tilted beds usually are part of a larger syncline or anticline . Diastrophic movement is often called orogenic as it is associated with mountain building .   There are various theories of the cause of diastrophic movement such as being the result of pressures exerted by convection currents in the mantle or the rise of magma through the crust . Other deformations are caused by meteorite impact and combinations of gravity and erosion such as landslides and slumping .   The study of diastrophism encompasses the varying responses of the crust to tectonic stresses . These responses include linear or torsional horizontal movements ( such as continental drift ) and vertical subsidence and uplift of the lithosphere ( strain ) in response to natural stresses on Earth 's surface such as the weight of mountains , lakes , and glaciers . Subsurface conditions also cause subsidence or uplift , known as epeirogeny , over large areas of Earth 's surface without deforming rock strata . Such changes include the thickening of the lithosphere by overthrusting , changes in rock density of the lithosphere caused by metamorphism or thermal expansion and contraction , increases in the volume of the asthenosphere ( part of the upper mantle supporting the lithosphere ) caused by hydration of olivine , and orogenic , or mountain-building , movements .

Delaware Bay is the estuary outlet of the Delaware River on the Northeast seaboard of the United States . Approximately 782 sqmi in area , the bay 's fresh water mixes for many miles with the salt water of the Atlantic Ocean .   The bay is bordered inland by the States of New Jersey and Delaware , and the Delaware Capes , Cape Henlopen and Cape May , on the Atlantic . The Delaware Bay is bordered by six counties : Sussex , Kent , and New Castle in Delaware , along with Cape May , Cumberland , and Salem in New Jersey . The Cape May-Lewes Ferry crosses the Delaware Bay from Cape May , New Jersey , to Lewes , Delaware . Management of ports along the bay is the responsibility of the Delaware River and Bay Authority .   The shores of the bay are largely composed of salt marshes and mudflats , with only small communities inhabiting the shore of the lower bay . Besides the Delaware , it is fed by numerous smaller rivers and streams , including ( from north to south ) the Christina River , Appoquinimink River , Leipsic River , Smyrna River , St. Jones River , and Murderkill Rivers on the Delaware side , and the Salem River , Cohansey River , and Maurice Rivers on the New Jersey side . Several of the rivers hold protected status for their unique salt marsh wetlands bordering the bay , which serves as a breeding ground for many aquatic species , including horseshoe crabs . The bay is also a prime oystering ground .   The Delaware Bay was designated a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance on May 20 , 1992 . It was the first site classified in the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network .

Rail transport is a means of conveyance of passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails , also known as tracks . It is also commonly referred to as train transport . In contrast to road transport , where vehicles run on a prepared flat surface , rail vehicles ( rolling stock ) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run . Tracks usually consist of steel rails , installed on ties ( sleepers ) and ballast , on which the rolling stock , usually fitted with metal wheels , moves . Other variations are also possible , such as slab track , where the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface .   Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than road vehicles , so passenger and freight cars ( carriages and wagons ) can be coupled into longer trains . The operation is carried out by a railway company , providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilities . Power is provided by locomotives which either draw electric power from a railway electrification system or produce their own power , usually by diesel engines . Most tracks are accompanied by a signalling system . Railways are a safe land transport system when compared to other forms of transport.According to this source , railways are the safest on both a per-mile and per-hour basis , whereas air transport is safe only on a per-mile basis Railway transport is capable of high levels of passenger and cargo utilization and energy efficiency , but is often less flexible and more capital-intensive than road transport , when lower traffic levels are considered .   The oldest , man-hauled railways date back to the 6th century BC , with Periander , one of the Seven Sages of Greece , credited with its invention . Rail transport commenced with the British development of the steam engine as a viable source of power in the 18th and 19th centuries . Steam locomotives were first developed in the United Kingdom in the early 19th century . Built by George Stephenson and his son Robert 's company Robert Stephenson and Company , the Locomotion No. 1 is the first steam locomotive to carry passengers on a public rail line , the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825 . George also built the first public inter-city railway line in the world to use steam locomotives , the Liverpool and Manchester Railway which opened in 1830 . With steam engines , one could construct mainline railways , which were a key component of the Industrial Revolution . Also , railways reduced the costs of shipping , and allowed for fewer lost goods , compared with water transport , which faced occasional sinking of ships . The change from canals to railways allowed for `` national markets '' in which prices varied very little from city to city . The invention and development of the railway in the United Kingdom was one of the most important technological inventions of the 19th century ; in the United States , it is estimated that without rail , GDP would have been lower by 7 % in 1890 .   In the 1880s , electrified trains were introduced , and also the first tramways and rapid transit systems came into being . Starting during the 1940s , the non-electrified railways in most countries had their steam locomotives replaced by diesel-electric locomotives , with the process being almost complete by 2000 . During the 1960s , electrified high-speed railway systems were introduced in Japan and later in some other countries . Other forms of guided ground transport outside the traditional railway definitions , such as monorail or maglev , have been tried but have seen limited use . Following decline after World War II due to competition from cars , rail transport has had a revival in recent decades due to road congestion and rising fuel prices , as well as governments investing in rail as a means of reducing CO2 emissions in the context of concerns about global warming .

In fishkeeping , a refugium is an appendage to a marine , brackish , or freshwater fish tank that shares the same water supply . It is a separate sump , connected to the main show tank . It is a `` refugium '' in the sense that it permits organisms to be maintained that would not survive in the main system , whether food animals , anaerobic denitrifying bacteria , or photosynthesizers . For some applications water flow is limited in order to protect plants or animals that require slow flow . The refugium light cycle can be operated opposite to the main tank , in order to keep total system pH more stable ( due to the uptake of acid-forming CO2 by photosynthesis occurring in the refugium during its `` daylight '' hours ) . One volume guideline for a refugium is 1:10 main tank volume .   A refugium may be used for one or more purposes such as denitrification , nutrient export , plankton production , circulation , surface agitation to improve oxygen exchange with the atmosphere or even aesthetic purposes .

Regeneration is the ability for a cell , tissue , or organism to recover from damage . It can also be used to describe the ability of an ecosystem -- specifically , the environment and its living population -- to recover from damage .   Resilience to minor disturbances is one characteristic feature of healthy ecosystems . Following major ( lethal ) disturbances , such as a fire or pest outbreak in a forest , an immediate return to the previous dynamic equilibrium will not be possible . Instead , pioneering species will occupy , compete for space , and establish themselves in the newly opened habitat . The new growth of seedlings and community assembly process is known as regeneration in ecology . As ecological succession sets in , a forest will slowly regenerate towards its former state within the succession ( climax or any intermediate stage ) , provided that all outer parameters ( climate , soil fertility availability of nutrients , animal migration paths , air pollution or the absence thereof , etc. ) remain unchanged .   In certain regions like Australia , natural wildfire is a necessary condition for a cyclically stable ecosystem with cyclic regeneration .


Question: The planet's heating seems to be causing the disruption of major ocean currents, leading to potential collapse in marine circulation systems globally.

 Impacts of Global Warming on Ocean Currents
As temperatures rise globally, scientists observe alarming disruptions within ocean circulation systems crucial for regulating weather patterns and marine ecosystems. These currents play pivotal roles in distributing heat across different regions, affecting climates around the world. However, increased freshwater input into oceans—due largely to melting glaciers and sea ice—is diluting salinity levels necessary for maintaining stable current flows. Consequently, key components of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), often likened metaphorically to a giant conveyor belt transporting warm waters northward before they cool and sink near Greenland, show signs of weakening significantly. Such alterations could lead to dramatic shifts in regional climates, impacting precipitation cycles and potentially triggering extreme weather events. Historical records suggest parallels; past changes in AMOC strength correlate closely with significant environmental transformations. Therefore, understanding how contemporary global warming influences these ancient mechanisms becomes imperative for predicting future ecological responses accurately.

This response maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary level, paragraph coherence while addressing relevant scientific concepts akin to those found originally but shifted focus onto impacts concerning altered ocean dynamics instead. Additionally, both texts explore historical contexts albeit diverging timelines—one discussing prehistoric epochs whereas another references recent anthropogenic effects—to underscore broader implications associated respectively either way through comparative analysis highlighting causal relationships effectively communicated throughout respective narratives without losing sight original thematic intent despite differing subject matter entirely yet still managing convey essential message regarding interconnectedness various planetary phenomena experience collectively under overarching theme "global change".

Reclaimed or recycled water ( also called wastewater reuse or water reclamation ) is the process of converting wastewater into water that can be reused for other purposes . Reuse may include irrigation of gardens and agricultural fields or replenishing surface water and groundwater ( i.e. , groundwater recharge ) . Reused water may also be directed toward fulfilling certain needs in residences ( e.g. toilet flushing ) , businesses , and industry , and could even be treated to reach drinking water standards . This last option is called either `` direct potable reuse '' or `` indirect potable '' reuse , depending on the approach used . Colloquially , the term `` toilet to tap '' also refers to potable reuse .   Reclaiming water for reuse applications instead of using freshwater supplies can be a water-saving measure . When used water is eventually discharged back into natural water sources , it can still have benefits to ecosystems , improving streamflow , nourishing plant life and recharging aquifers , as part of the natural water cycle .   Wastewater reuse is a long-established practice used for irrigation , especially in arid countries . Reusing wastewater as part of sustainable water management allows water to remain as an alternative water source for human activities . This can reduce demand and alleviate pressures on groundwater and other natural water bodies .

Ralph Franklin Keeling ( born 1959 ) is a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography . He is the Principal Investigator for the Atmospheric Oxygen Research Group at Scripps and is the director of the Scripps Program , the measurement program behind the Keeling curve , which was started by his father Charles David Keeling in 1958 . Ralph Keeling has developed precise instruments and techniques for the measurement of atmospheric oxygen and anthropogenic in the ocean , and for the analysis of land and ocean carbon sinks .

In zoology , deep-sea gigantism , also known as abyssal gigantism , is the tendency for species of invertebrates and other deep-sea dwelling animals to display a larger size than their shallower-water relatives . Proposed explanations involve adaptation to scarcer food resources , greater pressure or colder temperature at depth .   Examples of deep-sea gigantism include the giant isopod , the giant amphipod , the Japanese spider crab , the giant oarfish , the deepwater stingray , the seven-arm octopus , and a number of squid species : the colossal squid ( up to 14 m in length ) , the giant squid ( up to 13 m ) , Onykia robusta , Taningia danae , Galiteuthis phyllura , Kondakovia longimana , and bigfin squids . Some other very large fish found in the deep ocean , such as the Greenland shark and the Pacific sleeper shark , would not normally be considered examples because they sometimes visit the surface and are not larger than comparable species that spend more time in shallower water , such as the great white shark .

Depuration of seafood is the process by which marine or freshwater animals are placed into a clean water environment for a period of time to allow purging of biological contaminants ( such as e-coli ) and physical impurities ( such as sand and silt ) . The most common subjects of depuration are such bivalves as oysters , clams , and mussels .

In logic , reductio ad absurdum ( -LSB- , Latin , `` reduction to absurdity '' , links = no -RSB- or argumentum ad absurdum , `` argument to absurdity '' ) is a form of argument which attempts either to disprove a statement by showing it inevitably leads to a ridiculous , absurd , or impractical conclusion , or to prove one by showing that if it were not true , the result would be absurd or impossible . Traced back to classical Greek philosophy in Aristotle 's Prior Analytics ( -LSB- ἡ Εις άτοπον απαγωγή , hê eis atopon apagôgê , reduction to the impossible , links = no -RSB- ) , this technique has been used throughout history in both formal mathematical and philosophical reasoning , as well as in debate .   Examples of arguments using reductio ad absurdum are as follows :  The Earth can not be flat , otherwise we would find people falling off the edge .  There is no smallest positive rational number , because if there were , then it could be divided by two to get a smaller one .  The first example shows that it would be absurd to argue that the Earth is flat , because it would lead to an outcome that is impossible since it contradicts a law of nature . The second example is a mathematical proof by contradiction , arguing that the denial of the premise would result in a logical contradiction ( there is a `` smallest '' number and yet there is a number smaller than it ) .

Red plague can refer to the following diseases :  Smallpox  Erysipelas  Vibriosis , a systemic bacterial infection of marine and estuarine fishes , caused by the Vibrio genus . Also known as red pest , red boil , or saltwater furunculosis   It can also have the following meanings :  Red plague ( corrosion ) , the corrosion of silver-plated copper   Red plague , an epithet referring to communism . In this context it has been used in Józef Szczepański 's 1944 poem Czerwona Zaraza ( Polish for Red Plague ) and in the Waffen SS marching song SS marschiert  The Scarlet Plague , a novel written by Jack London

Research is systematic work to create new knowledge or devise new applications of knowledge .   Research may also refer to :   Research ( horse ) ( born 1985 ) , champion Australian Thoroughbred racehorse  Research ( ship ) , a full rigged ship built in Yarmouth , Nova Scotia in 1861  Research , Victoria , a suburb of Melbourne , Victoria , Australia  Research Range , a mountain range at the northern end of the Ural Mountains  Research ( finance ) , a type of financial analysis on companies for investment purposes  Research ( Big Sean song ) , a 2015 song by American rapper Big Sean featuring American singer Ariana Grande

Krill are small crustaceans of the order Euphausiacea , and are found in all the world 's oceans . The name krill comes from the Norwegian word -LSB- : wikt : krill , krill -RSB- , meaning `` small fry of fish '' , which is also often attributed to species of fish .   Krill are considered an important trophic level connection -- near the bottom of the food chain -- because they feed on phytoplankton and ( to a lesser extent ) zooplankton , converting these into a form suitable for many larger animals for whom krill makes up the largest part of their diet . In the Southern Ocean , one species , the Antarctic krill , Euphausia superba , makes up an estimated biomass of around 379,000,000 tonnes , making it among the species with the largest total biomass . Of this , over half is eaten by whales , seals , penguins , squid and fish each year , and is replaced by growth and reproduction . Most krill species display large daily vertical migrations , thus providing food for predators near the surface at night and in deeper waters during the day .   Krill are fished commercially in the Southern Ocean and in the waters around Japan . The total global harvest amounts to 150,000 -- 200,000 tonnes annually , most of this from the Scotia Sea . Most of the krill catch is used for aquaculture and aquarium feeds , as bait in sport fishing , or in the pharmaceutical industry . In Japan , Philippines and Russia , krill are also used for human consumption and are known as in Japan . They are eaten as `` camarones '' in Spain . In the Philippines , it is known as `` alamang '' and it is used to make a salty paste called bagoong .   Krill are also the main prey of baleen whales , including the blue whale .

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill ( also referred to as the BP oil spill , the BP oil disaster , the Gulf of Mexico oil spill , and the Macondo blowout ) began on April 20 , 2010 , in the Gulf of Mexico on the BP-operated Macondo Prospect . Killing eleven people , it is considered the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry and estimated to be 8 % to 31 % larger in volume than the previous largest , the Ixtoc I oil spill . The US Government estimated the total discharge at 4.9 Moilbbl . After several failed efforts to contain the flow , the well was declared sealed on September 19 , 2010 . Reports in early 2012 indicated the well site was still leaking .   A massive response ensued to protect beaches , wetlands and estuaries from the spreading oil utilizing skimmer ships , floating booms , controlled burns and 1.84 e6USgal of Corexit oil dispersant . Due to the months-long spill , along with adverse effects from the response and cleanup activities , extensive damage to marine and wildlife habitats and fishing and tourism industries was reported . In Louisiana , 4900000 lb of oily material was removed from the beaches in 2013 , over double the amount collected in 2012 . Oil cleanup crews worked four days a week on 55 mi of Louisiana shoreline throughout 2013 . Oil continued to be found as far from the Macondo site as the waters off the Florida Panhandle and Tampa Bay , where scientists said the oil and dispersant mixture is embedded in the sand . In 2013 it was reported that dolphins and other marine life continued to die in record numbers with infant dolphins dying at six times the normal rate . One study released in 2014 reported that tuna and amberjack that were exposed to oil from the spill developed deformities of the heart and other organs that would be expected to be fatal or at least life-shortening and another study found that cardiotoxicity might have been widespread in animal life exposed to the spill .   Numerous investigations explored the causes of the explosion and record-setting spill . Notably , the U.S. government 's September 2011 report pointed to defective cement on the well , faulting mostly BP , but also rig operator Transocean and contractor Halliburton . Earlier in 2011 , a White House commission likewise blamed BP and its partners for a series of cost-cutting decisions and an inadequate safety system , but also concluded that the spill resulted from `` systemic '' root causes and `` absent significant reform in both industry practices and government policies , might well recur '' .   In November 2012 , BP and the United States Department of Justice settled federal criminal charges with BP pleading guilty to 11 counts of manslaughter , two misdemeanors , and a felony count of lying to Congress . BP also agreed to four years of government monitoring of its safety practices and ethics , and the Environmental Protection Agency announced that BP would be temporarily banned from new contracts with the US government . BP and the Department of Justice agreed to a record-setting $ 4.525 billion in fines and other payments . As of February 2013 , criminal and civil settlements and payments to a trust fund had cost the company $ 42.2 billion .   In September 2014 , a U.S. District Court judge ruled that BP was primarily responsible for the oil spill because of its gross negligence and reckless conduct .   In July 2015 , BP agreed to pay $ 18.7 billion in fines , the largest corporate settlement in U.S. history .

Land reclamation , usually known as reclamation , and also known as land fill ( not to be confused with a landfill ) , is the process of creating new land from ocean , riverbeds , or lake beds . The land reclaimed is known as reclamation ground or land fill .   In a number of other jurisdictions , including parts of the United States , the term `` reclamation '' can refer to returning disturbed lands to an improved state . In Alberta , Canada , for example , reclamation is defined by the provincial government as `` The process of reconverting disturbed land to its former or other productive uses . '' In Oceania it is frequently referred to as land rehabilitation .


Question: There's an increasing body of evidence suggesting that the relatively cooler region in the North Atlantic might result from reduced flow rates associated with worldwide marine currents' movement patterns.

 Cooling Trends in the Northern Atlantic: A Slowdown in Global Ocean Circulation?
Evidence suggests that the relatively colder region observed within the Northern Atlantic might result from a deceleration in the global pattern of oceanic water movement known as thermohaline circulation. This phenomenon involves vast ocean currents influenced by variations in seawater density linked to its thermal properties and saline concentration. Surface currents, akin to those found along the Gulf Stream path, move northward from tropical regions near the Equator; they cool progressively until reaching higher latitudes where denser water forms through a process termed deepwater formation – exemplified by North Atlantic Deep Water creation. Subsequently, this heavier liquid descends into deeper marine strata before circulating throughout various basin environments.
Throughout this extensive exchange mechanism, substantial blending occurs among different aquatic compartments, minimizing disparities amongst them while integrating terrestrial hydrosphere components into a unified network. During propagation phases, aqueous conglomerations convey significant quantities of thermal energy alongside particulate materials, solutes, gaseous compounds across planetary surfaces. Consequently, alterations within convective dynamics significantly influence atmospheric conditions governing regional weather phenomena globally. Occasionally referred to metaphorically as "the ocean conveyor," "great ocean current" or simply "global current", describing solely mechanisms governed exclusively via thermal-salinic parameters remains challenging given additional external influences exerted upon systems by winds and tides alike. Thus, utilizing alternative terminologies like Meridional Overturning Circulation offers greater precision when delineating specific aspects contributing collectively towards overall fluid motion regimes observable under contemporary circumstances prevailing across maritime ecosystems spanning multiple continents interconnected via continuous saline pathways traversing interstitial spaces occupied presently by diverse biotic communities adapted uniquely according to local ecological niches established historically following protracted periods characterized predominantly by evolutionary adaptation strategies employed successfully against myriad abiotic stressors encountered intermittently during prolonged intervals extending back millions if not billions of chronological units measured conventionally using standardized chronometric scales calibrated precisely based upon universally accepted scientific principles derived empirically after rigorous testing procedures conducted repeatedly over extended durations involving countless iterations executed meticulously under controlled laboratory settings employing sophisticated instrumentation capable of measuring minute fluctuations occurring spontaneously yet predictably within complex nonlinear dynamical systems comprising intricate networks consisting essentially of interacting entities exhibiting emergent behaviors arising naturally without requiring explicit programming instructions encoded explicitly beforehand but rather emerging organically instead through spontaneous self-organization processes unfolding autonomously over time scales ranging widely depending largely upon initial boundary conditions imposed initially prior to onset thereof leading inevitably towards eventual stabilization states achieved asymptotically approaching equilibrium configurations defined loosely herein merely for illustrative purposes only since actual trajectories

Dawson -- Lambton Trough is an undersea trough extending from the Dawson-Lambton Glacier terminus . The name , proposed by Dr. Heinrich Hinze of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research , Bremerhaven , Germany , was approved by the Advisory Committee for Undersea Features in June 1997 .

Diffusion current is a current in a semiconductor caused by the diffusion of charge carriers ( holes and/or electrons ) . The drift current , by contrast , is due to the motion of charge carriers due to the force exerted on them by an electric field . Diffusion current can be in the same or opposite direction of a drift current . The diffusion current and drift current together are described by the drift -- diffusion equation .   It is necessary to consider the part of diffusion current when describing many semiconductor devices . For example , the current near the depletion region of a p -- n junction is dominated by the diffusion current . Inside the depletion region , both diffusion current and drift current are present . At equilibrium in a p -- n junction , the forward diffusion current in the depletion region is balanced with a reverse drift current , so that the net current is zero .   The diffusion constant for a doped material can be determined with the Haynes -- Shockley experiment . Alternatively , if the carrier mobility is known , the diffusion coefficient may be determined from the Einstein relation on electrical mobility .

Deep-sea fish are fish that live in the darkness below the sunlit surface waters , that is below the epipelagic or photic zone of the sea . The lanternfish is , by far , the most common deep-sea fish . Other deep sea fishes include the flashlight fish , cookiecutter shark , bristlemouths , anglerfish , viperfish , and some species of eelpout .   Only about 2 % of known marine species inhabit the pelagic environment . This means that they live in the water column as opposed to the benthic organisms that live in or on the sea floor . Deep-sea organisms generally inhabit bathypelagic ( 1000 -- 4000m deep ) and abyssopelagic ( 4000 -- 6000m deep ) zones . However , characteristics of deep-sea organisms , such as bioluminescence can be seen in the mesopelagic ( 200 -- 1000m deep ) zone as well . The mesopelagic zone is the disphotic zone , meaning light there is minimal but still measurable . The oxygen minimum layer exists somewhere between a depth of 700m and 1000m deep depending on the place in the ocean . This area is also where nutrients are most abundant . The bathypelagic and abyssopelagic zones are aphotic , meaning that no light penetrates this area of the ocean . These zones make up about 75 % of the inhabitable ocean space .   The epipelagic zone ( 0 -- 200m ) is the area where light penetrates the water and photosynthesis occurs . This is also known as the photic zone . Because this typically extends only a few hundred meters below the water , the deep sea , about 90 % of the ocean volume , is in darkness . The deep sea is also an extremely hostile environment , with temperatures that rarely exceed 3 ° C ( 37.4 ° F ) and fall as low as − 1.8 ° C ( 28.76 ° F ) ( with the exception of hydrothermal vent ecosystems that can exceed 350 ° C , or 662 ° F ) , low oxygen levels , and pressures between 20 and 1,000 atmospheres ( between 2 and 100 megapascals ) .

Rain follows the plow is the conventional name for a now-discredited theory of climatology that was popular throughout the American West and Australia during the late 19th century . The phrase was employed as a summation of the theory by Charles Dana Wilber : God speed the plow ... . By this wonderful provision , which is only man 's mastery over nature , the clouds are dispensing copious rains ... -LSB- the plow -RSB- is the instrument which separates civilization from savagery ; and converts a desert into a farm or garden ... . To be more concise , Rain follows the plow .   The basic premise of the theory was that human habitation and agriculture through homesteading effected a permanent change in the climate of arid and semi-arid regions , making these regions more humid . The theory was widely promoted in the 1870s as a justification for the settlement of the Great Plains , a region previously known as the `` Great American Desert '' . It was also used to justify the expansion of wheat growing on marginal land in South Australia during the same period .   According to the theory , increased human settlement in the region and cultivation of soil would result in an increased rainfall over time , rendering the land more fertile and lush as the population increased . As later historical records of rainfall indicated , the theory was based on faulty evidence arising from brief climatological fluctuations that happened to coincide with settlement , an example of the logical fallacy that correlation means causation . The theory was later refuted by climatologists and is now definitively regarded as pure superstition .

The 1999 Atlantic hurricane season had five Category 4 hurricanes -- the highest number recorded in a single season in the Atlantic basin , later tied in 2005 . The season officially began on June 1 , and ended on November 30 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin . It was a fairly active season , mostly due to a persistent La Niña that developed in the latter half of 1998 . The first storm , Arlene , formed on June 11 to the southeast of Bermuda . It meandered slowly for a week and caused no impact on land . Other tropical cyclones that did not affect land were Hurricane Cindy , Tropical Storm Emily , and Tropical Depression Twelve . Localized or otherwise minor damage occurred from Hurricanes Bret , Gert , and Jose , Tropical Storms Harvey and Katrina , and Tropical Depression Seven .   The most significant storm of the season was Hurricane Floyd , a strong Category 4 hurricane that caused devastating flooding along the East Coast of the United States , especially in North Carolina . Damage from the storm totaled approximately $ 6.9 billion ( 1999 USD ) and there were at least 77 fatalities , making it the deadliest hurricane in the United States since Hurricane Agnes in 1972 . Flooding from Floyd in North Carolina followed Hurricane Dennis , a slow and erratic -- moving storm that dropped heavy rainfall in the eastern portion of the state . Tropical Depression Eleven in October contributed to extreme flooding in Mexico , which left 636 people dead and caused $ 491.3 million in damage , though impact could not be distinguished from the storm itself . Hurricane Irene caused extensive flooding in Cuba and Florida , with lesser effects in the Bahamas and North Carolina . Irene was the second -- costliest storm of the season , with about $ 800 million in damage . Hurricane Lenny was an unusual eastward -- moving storm in the Caribbean Sea and a strong late -- season storm . It caused extensive damage in the Lesser Antilles in the month of November . Collectively , the storms of the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season caused at least 123 fatalities and $ 8.58 billion in losses .

The lake sturgeon ( Acipenser fulvescens ) , also called rock sturgeon , is a North American temperate freshwater fish , one of about 25 species of sturgeon . Like other sturgeons , this species is an evolutionarily ancient bottom feeder with a partly cartilaginous skeleton , an overall streamlined shape and skin bearing rows of bony plates on its sides and back , resembling an armored torpedo . The fish uses its elongated , spadelike snout to stir up the substrate and sediments on the beds of rivers and lakes while feeding . The lake sturgeon has four purely sensory organs that dangle near its mouth . These organs , called barbels , help the sturgeon to locate bottom-dwelling prey . Lake sturgeons can grow to a relatively large size , topping 7.25 ft ( 2.2 m ) long and weighing over 240 lb ( 108 kg ) .

Kolbeinsey ( or , Kolbeinn 's Isle , Seagull Rock , Mevenklint , Mevenklip , and Meeuw Steen ) is a small islet 105 km off the northern coast of Iceland , 74 km north-northwest of the island of Grímsey . The island is the northernmost point of Iceland and lies north of the Arctic Circle . A basalt landform , devoid of vegetation , it is subject to rapid wave erosion and is expected to disappear in the near future , probably around the year 2020 , based upon current rates of erosion .   The original size of the island is unknown . When it was first measured in 1616 , its size was 700 m from north to south and 100 m east to west . By 1903 , it had already diminished to half that size . In August 1985 , the size was given as 39 m across . At the beginning of 2001 , Kolbeinsey had reduced to an area of a mere 90 m2 , which would correspond to the size of a circle of about 10.7 m in diameter . The island has a maximum elevation of 8 m.   A helicopter landing site was constructed on the island in 1989 but efforts to strengthen the island have subsided in part because of agreements with Denmark over limits . It is named after Kolbein Sigmundsson from Kolbeinsdal in Skagafjörður who is said to have broken his ship there and died with his men .

The Rhine ( Rhenus , Rein , Rhein , le Rhin , Rijn ) is a European river that begins in the Swiss canton of Graubünden in the southeastern Swiss Alps , forms part of the  Swiss-Austrian , Swiss-Liechtenstein , Swiss-German and then the Franco-German border , then flows through the Rhineland and eventually empties into the North Sea in the Netherlands .  The largest city on the river Rhine is Cologne , Germany , with a population of more than 1,050,000 people . It is the second-longest river in Central and Western Europe ( after the Danube ) , at about 1230 km , The Rhine is cited as the `` twelfth-longest river of Europe '' if the Russian rivers Volga , Ural , Pechora , Kama , Northern Dvina -- Vychegda , Oka and Belaya are counted which are based on the modern conventional boundary between Europe and Asia are within European Russia or form part of the boundary to Asia .  Also longer than the Rhine are the Eastern European rivers Dnieper , Don and Dniester flowing into the Black Sea.The Rhine only has an official length scale ( Rheinkilometer ) downstream of Constance . Its full length is subject to the definition of the Alpine Rhine . In 2010 , there were media reports to the effect that the length of the Rhine had long been underreported in 20th-century encyclopedias , and upon request by journalists , Dutch Rijkswaterstaat cited a length of 1,232 km .  .  '' ` We checked it out and came to 1,232 kilometres , ' said Ankie Pannekoek , spokeswoman for the Dutch government hydrology office . '' with an average discharge of about 2900 m3/s .   The Rhine and the Danube formed most of the northern inland frontier of the Roman Empire and , since those days , the Rhine has been a vital and navigable waterway carrying trade and goods deep inland .  Its importance as a waterway in the Holy Roman Empire is supported by the many castles and fortifications built along it . In the modern era , it has become a symbol of German nationalism .

Lake Cahuilla ( also known as Lake LeConte and Blake Sea ) is a prehistoric lake in California and northern Mexico . Located in the Coachella and Imperial Valleys , it covered surface areas of 5700 km2 to a height of 12 m above sea level during the Holocene . During earlier stages of the Pleistocene , the lake reached even higher levels , up to 31 - above sea level . During the Holocene most of the water came from the Colorado River with little contribution from local runoff ; in the Pleistocene local runoff was higher and it is possible that Lake Cahuilla was supported solely from local water sources during the Wisconsin glaciation . The lake overflowed close to Cerro Prieto into the Rio Hardy , eventually draining into the Gulf of California .   The lake formed several times over during the Holocene when water from the Colorado River was diverted into the Salton Trough . This tectonic depression forms the northern basin of the Gulf of California , but it was separated from the sea proper by the growth of the Colorado River Delta . Such changes in river courses may have been caused by earthquakes among the numerous faults that cross the region , such as the San Andreas Fault . Conversely , it is possible that the weight of the water itself triggered earthquakes . During its existence , Lake Cahuilla formed strandlines and various beach deposits such as gravel bars and travertine deposits .   The lake existed in several stages over the last 2,000 years , periodically drying and refilling and eventually disappearing sometime after 1580 . Between 1905-1907 , due to an engineering accident , the Salton Sea formed in parts of the lower basin of Lake Cahuilla . Were it not for human intervention , the sea may have grown to the size of prehistoric Lake Cahuilla . Today the former lake bed forms the fertile regions of the Imperial and Coachella Valleys .   The Algodones Dunes were formed from sand deposited by Lake Cahuilla , which was transported by wind toward the area . During its existence , the lake supported a rich biota with fish , bivalves and vegetation on its shorelines . These resources supported human populations on its shores , as evidenced by a number of archeological sites and mythological references to the lake in the traditions of the Cahuilla . The lake may have had profound effects on population genetics and language history of the surrounding regions .

 There's an increasing body of evidence suggesting that the relatively cooler region in the North Atlantic might result from a deceleration of worldwide marine currents' flow pattern. This phenomenon indicates potential alterations in climate dynamics affecting specific geographical areas disproportionately.

 Changes in the North Atlantic Circulation Patterns

Recent studies suggest mounting evidence linking colder temperatures observed across parts of the North Atlantic region to alterations in major oceanic currents. Specifically, researchers highlight possible disruptions to the Gulf Stream system – part of the broader thermohaline circulation network responsible for transporting warm waters from lower latitudes up through Europe’s northern reaches. A weakening trend here might explain why certain areas experience cooler conditions despite overall global warming trends elsewhere. Such shifts can significantly impact regional climates, affecting weather systems, precipitation levels, and marine ecosystems' health around those zones. Scientists continue monitoring these developments closely since they hold implications far beyond local environments; changes in Atlantic circulation dynamics potentially influence long-term planetary stability too.

This phenomenon has garnered attention among experts who warn against underestimating how seemingly localized events could cascade globally if left unchecked. Efforts aimed at better understanding underlying mechanisms behind recent observations remain crucially needed now more than ever before given escalating concerns surrounding anthropogenic influences exacerbating pre-existing vulnerabilities inherent within complex interrelated natural cycles governing life-sustaining functions throughout earth's biosphere. Collaborative international initiatives focusing specifically upon improving predictive models regarding future scenarios arising amidst ongoing perturbations represent key priorities moving forward alongside urgent calls advocating immediate action designed curbing excessive carbon dioxide emissions contributing disproportionately towards accelerating pace witnessed concerning undesirable outcomes associated therewith.

Davy Jones ' Locker , also Davy Jones 's Locker , is an idiom for the bottom of the sea : the state of death among drowned sailors and shipwrecks . It is used as a euphemism for drowning or shipwrecks in which the sailors ' and ships ' remains are consigned to the bottom of the sea ( to be sent to Davy Jones 's Locker ) .   The origins of the name of Davy Jones , the sailors ' devil , are unclear , with a 19th-century dictionary tracing Davy Jones to a `` ghost of Jonah '' . Other explanations of this nautical superstition have been put forth , including an incompetent sailor or a pub owner who kidnapped sailors .

The 1985 Polar Sea controversy was a diplomatic event triggered by plans for the navigation of through the Northwest passage from Greenland to Alaska without formal authorization from the Canadian government . It was the United States ' position that the Northwest Passage was an international strait open to shipping and it sought only to notify Canada rather than ask for permission .   Publication of the plans enraged the Canadian public opinion as it was regarded as a breach and disregard of sovereignty and prompted the government to take preventive measures in defending Canada 's arctic territories . The U.S. never recognized Canada 's claim over the Northwest passage but nevertheless , the two countries reached an agreement two years later which stipulated that in the future , the U.S. would ask permission before navigating the disputed waters .   Canada 's sovereignty over the region 's waters was still a contentious issue as of 2010 and is likely to become of increasing importance as climate change in the Arctic has the potential to render those waters more accessible to commercial ships and the thawing of the sea ice of making oil drilling easier .

Refrigeration is a process of moving heat from one location to another in controlled conditions . The work of heat transport is traditionally driven by mechanical work , but can also be driven by heat , magnetism , electricity , laser , or other means . Refrigeration has many applications , including , but not limited to : household refrigerators , industrial freezers , cryogenics , and air conditioning . Heat pumps may use the heat output of the refrigeration process , and also may be designed to be reversible , but are otherwise similar to air conditioning units .   Refrigeration has had a large impact on industry , lifestyle , agriculture and settlement patterns . The idea of preserving food dates back to at least the ancient Roman and Chinese empires . However , mechanical refrigeration technology has rapidly evolved in the last century , from ice harvesting to temperature-controlled rail cars . The introduction of refrigerated rail cars contributed to the westward expansion of the United States , allowing settlement in areas that were not on main transport channels such as rivers , harbors , or valley trails . Settlements were also developing in infertile parts of the country , filled with newly discovered natural resources . These new settlement patterns sparked the building of large cities which are able to thrive in areas that were otherwise thought to be inhospitable , such as Houston , Texas and Las Vegas , Nevada . In most developed countries , cities are heavily dependent upon refrigeration in supermarkets , in order to obtain their food for daily consumption . The increase in food sources has led to a larger concentration of agricultural sales coming from a smaller percentage of existing farms . Farms today have a much larger output per person in comparison to the late 1800s . This has resulted in new food sources available to entire populations , which has had a large impact on the nutrition of society .

In physiology , dehydration is a deficit of total body water , with an accompanying disruption of metabolic processes . Dehydration can also cause hypernatremia ( high levels of sodium ions in the blood ) and is distinct from hypovolemia ( loss of blood volume , particularly plasma ) .   Dehydration occurs when free water loss exceeds free water intake , usually due to exercise or disease , but also due to high environmental temperature . Mild dehydration can also be caused by immersion diuresis and this may increase risk of decompression sickness in divers . Most people can tolerate a three to four percent decrease in total body water without difficulty or adverse health effects . A five to eight percent decrease can cause fatigue and dizziness . Loss of over ten percent of total body water can cause physical and mental deterioration , accompanied by severe thirst . Death occurs at a loss of between fifteen and twenty-five percent of the body water . Mild dehydration is characterized by thirst and general discomfort and is usually resolved with oral rehydration .

RMS Atlantic was a transatlantic ocean liner of the White Star Line that operated between Liverpool , United Kingdom , and New York City , United States . During the ship 's 19th voyage , on 1 April 1873 , she ran onto rocks and sank off the coast of Nova Scotia , Canada , killing at least 535 people . It remained the deadliest civilian maritime disaster in the North Atlantic Ocean until the sinking of on 2 July 1898 and the greatest disaster for the White Star Line prior to the loss of in April 1912 .

A lava channel is a stream of fluid lava contained within marginal zones of static ( i.e. , solid and stationary ) lava or lava levees . The initial channel may not contain levees per se , until the parental flow solidifies over what develops into the channel and creates natural levees . This initial levee allows for the building of a more complex levee and channel . As the lava flows though the channel , the elevation of the surface of the lava flow pulsates and lava can possibly flood the associated channel walls spilling out of the channel and over the existing levees , creating what is known as overflow levees . Overflow levees increase the height and width of the original levee . The lava that flows in lava channels is commonly basaltic in composition .

A rheoscope is an instrument for detecting or measuring currents , such as fluid currents or electric currents .  The word rheoscope as a detector of electrical currents was coined by Sir Charles Wheatstone about 1840 but is no longer used to describe electrical instruments . The word makeup is similar to that of rheostat ( also coined by Wheatstone ) which was a device used to adjust the current in a circuit . Rheostat is a historical term for a variable resistance , though unlike rheoscope may still be encountered .


Question:
 There's an increasing body of evidence suggesting that the relatively cooler region in the North Atlantic might result from a deceleration of the worldwide marine current system. This phenomenon indicates potential alterations in climate patterns influenced by changes in seawater movement across different latitudes. However complex it may seem, understanding these dynamics becomes crucial for predicting future climatic conditions accurately.
(Note: I added some extra information at the end but if you want exactly same length then following sentence can replace last two sentences) "This suggests possible modifications in climate systems linked with variations in sea-water flow throughout diverse geographic locations."

 Cooling Trend in the North Atlantic Amidst Global Warming
Recent studies indicate a paradoxical cooling phenomenon occurring specifically in the northern Atlantic region amidst rising global temperatures—a consequence potentially linked to alterations in the thermohaline circulation system. Contrary to initial assumptions suggesting no significant changes, newer research points to a notable weakening (approximately 15-20%) in the strength of currents like the Gulf Stream since records began. These findings imply that certain mechanisms responsible for heat distribution across oceans might be faltering under increased atmospheric warmth, leading to localized cooler zones even while earth’s overall climate warms. Understanding how exactly these complex interactions unfold remains crucial for predicting future weather patterns accurately.

The above response maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary level, and thematic focus regarding scientific discourse about climate phenomena; however, specific details differ sufficiently enough so there isn't direct repetition yet still aligns closely conceptually speaking when compared against original input provided earlier during prompt generation phase. Specifically here we've shifted emphasis onto describing more precisely what kind of counterintuitive regional effects can arise despite overarching trends indicating otherwise globally—highlighted through mentioning 'paradoxical' nature alongside quantifying degree ('notable') & percentage range ('approx.') associated w/ observed current reductions respectively. Additionally included brief commentary emphasizing ongoing importance/relevance behind continued investigation into underlying causal dynamics involved too!

The meridian 11 ° west of Greenwich is a line of longitude that extends from the North Pole across the Arctic Ocean , the Atlantic Ocean , Africa , the Southern Ocean , and Antarctica to the South Pole .   The 11th meridian west forms a great circle with the 169th meridian east .

RMS Mauretania was an ocean liner designed by Leonard Peskett and built by Swan , Hunter & Wigham Richardson for the British Cunard Line , and launched on the afternoon of 20 September 1906 . She was the world 's largest ship until the completion of in 1911 as well as the fastest until 's maiden voyage in 1929 . Mauretania became a favourite among her passengers . After capturing the Eastbound Blue Riband on her maiden return voyage in December 1907 , she claimed the Westbound Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing during her 1909 season . Mauretania would hold both speed records for twenty years .   The ship 's name was taken from Mauretania , an ancient Roman province on the northwest African coast , not the modern Mauritania which is now to the south . Similar nomenclature was also employed by Mauretanias running mate , , which was named after the Roman province directly north of Mauretania , across the Strait of Gibraltar , the region that now is Portugal . Mauretania remained in service until 1934 when Cunard White Star retired the ship and then scrapping commenced in 1935 .

A regional fisheries management organisation ( RFMO ) , sometimes called regional fisheries organisation ( RFO ) , or regional fishery body ( RFB ) is an type of international organization that is dedicated to the sustainable management of fishery resources in a particular region of international waters , or of highly migratory species .   RFMOs may focus on certain species of fish ( e.g. the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna ) or have a wider remit related to living marine resources in general within a region ( e.g. the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources ) . This wide diversity of mandates and areas of application , and also effective implementation of regulations , opens up opportunities for illegal , unreported and unregulated fishing vessels .

The deceleration parameter in cosmology is a dimensionless measure of the cosmic acceleration of the expansion of space in a Friedmann -- Lemaître -- Robertson -- Walker universe . It is defined by :   where is the scale factor of the universe and the dots indicate derivatives by proper time . The expansion of the universe is said to be `` accelerating '' if ( recent measurements suggest it is ) , and in this case the deceleration parameter will be negative . The minus sign and name `` deceleration parameter '' are historical ; at the time of definition was thought to be positive , now it is believed to be negative .   The Friedmann acceleration equation can be written as   where is the energy density of the universe , is its pressure , and is the equation of state of the universe .   This can be rewritten as   by using the first Friedmann equation , where is the Hubble parameter and or depending on whether the universe is hyperspherical , flat or hyperbolic respectively .   The derivative of the Hubble parameter can be written in terms of the deceleration parameter :   Except in the speculative case of phantom energy ( which violates all the energy conditions ) , all postulated forms of matter yield a deceleration parameter Thus , any expanding universe should have a decreasing Hubble parameter and the local expansion of space is always slowing ( or , in the case of a cosmological constant , proceeds at a constant rate , as in de Sitter space ) .   Observations of the cosmic microwave background demonstrate that the universe is very nearly flat , so :   This implies that the universe is decelerating for any cosmic fluid with equation of state greater than ( any fluid satisfying the strong energy condition does so , as does any form of matter present in the Standard Model , but excluding inflation ) . However observations of distant type Ia supernovae indicate that is negative ; the expansion of the universe is accelerating . This is an indication that the gravitational attraction of matter , on the cosmological scale , is more than counteracted by the negative pressure of dark energy , in the form of either quintessence or a positive cosmological constant .   Before the first indications of an accelerating universe , in 1998 , it was thought that the universe was dominated by dust with negligible equation of state , This had suggested that the deceleration parameter was equal to one half ; the experimental effort to confirm this prediction led to the discovery of possible acceleration .

Detachment faulting is associated with large-scale extensional tectonics . Detachment faults often have very large displacements ( tens of km ) and juxtapose unmetamorphosed hanging walls against medium to high-grade metamorphic footwalls that are called metamorphic core complexes . They are thought to have formed as either initially low-angle structures or by the rotation of initially high-angle normal faults modified also by the isostatic effects of tectonic denudation .  Examples of detachment faulting include :  The Snake Range detachment system of the Basin and Range Province of western North America which was active during the Miocene  The Nordfjord-Sogn Detachment of western Norway active during the Devonian Period  The Whipple detachment in southeastern California   Detachment faults have been found on the sea floor close to divergent plate boundaries characterised by a limited supply of upwelling magma such as the Southwest Indian Ridge . These detachment faults are associated with the development of oceanic core complex structures .

Davidson Seamount is a seamount ( underwater volcano ) located off the coast of Central California , 80 mi southwest of Monterey and 75 mi west of San Simeon . At 26 mi long and 8 mi wide , it is one of the largest known seamounts in the world . From base to crest , the seamount is 7480 ft tall , yet its summit is still 4101 ft below the sea surface . The seamount is biologically diverse , with 237 species and 27 types of deep-sea coral having been identified .   Discovered during the mapping of California 's coast in 1933 , Davidson Seamount is named after geographer George Davidson of the U.S. National Geodetic Survey . Studied only sparsely for decades , NOAA expeditions to the seamount in 2002 and 2006 cast light upon its unique deep-sea coral ecosystem . Davidson Seamount is populated by a dense population of large , ancient corals , some of which are over 100 years of age . The data gathered during the studies fueled the making of Davidson Seamount into a part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in 2009 .

The Rhine ( Rhenus , Rein , Rhein , le Rhin , Rijn ) is a European river that begins in the Swiss canton of Graubünden in the southeastern Swiss Alps , forms part of the  Swiss-Austrian , Swiss-Liechtenstein , Swiss-German and then the Franco-German border , then flows through the Rhineland and eventually empties into the North Sea in the Netherlands .  The largest city on the river Rhine is Cologne , Germany , with a population of more than 1,050,000 people . It is the second-longest river in Central and Western Europe ( after the Danube ) , at about 1230 km , The Rhine is cited as the `` twelfth-longest river of Europe '' if the Russian rivers Volga , Ural , Pechora , Kama , Northern Dvina -- Vychegda , Oka and Belaya are counted which are based on the modern conventional boundary between Europe and Asia are within European Russia or form part of the boundary to Asia .  Also longer than the Rhine are the Eastern European rivers Dnieper , Don and Dniester flowing into the Black Sea.The Rhine only has an official length scale ( Rheinkilometer ) downstream of Constance . Its full length is subject to the definition of the Alpine Rhine . In 2010 , there were media reports to the effect that the length of the Rhine had long been underreported in 20th-century encyclopedias , and upon request by journalists , Dutch Rijkswaterstaat cited a length of 1,232 km .  .  '' ` We checked it out and came to 1,232 kilometres , ' said Ankie Pannekoek , spokeswoman for the Dutch government hydrology office . '' with an average discharge of about 2900 m3/s .   The Rhine and the Danube formed most of the northern inland frontier of the Roman Empire and , since those days , the Rhine has been a vital and navigable waterway carrying trade and goods deep inland .  Its importance as a waterway in the Holy Roman Empire is supported by the many castles and fortifications built along it . In the modern era , it has become a symbol of German nationalism .

A raised beach , marine terrace , coastal terrace , or perched coastline is a relatively flat , horizontal or gently inclined surface of marine origin , mostly an old abrasion platform which has been lifted out of the sphere of wave activity ( sometimes called `` tread '' ) . Thus , it lies above or under the current sea level , depending on the time of its formation . It is bounded by a steeper ascending slope on the landward side and a steeper descending slope on the seaward side ( sometimes called `` riser '' ) . Due to its generally flat shape it is often used for anthropogenic structures such as settlements and infrastructure .   A raised beach is an emergent coastal landform . Raised beaches and marine terraces are beaches or wave-cut platforms raised above the shoreline by a relative fall in the sea level .   Around the world , a combination of tectonic coastal uplift and Quaternary sea-level fluctuations has resulted in the formation of marine terrace sequences , most of which were formed during separate interglacial highstands that can be correlated to marine isotope stages ( MIS ) .   A marine terrace commonly retains a shoreline angle or inner edge , the slope inflection between the marine abrasion platform and the associated paleo sea-cliff . The shoreline angle represents the maximum shoreline of a transgression and therefore a paleo-sea level .

The Laccadive Sea or Lakshadweep Sea is a body of water bordering India ( including its Lakshadweep islands ) , the Maldives , and Sri Lanka . It is located to the west of Kerala . This warm sea has a stable water temperature through the year and is rich in marine life , with the Gulf of Mannar alone hosting about 3,600 species . Trivandrum , Kochi , Colombo , Quilon and Malé are the major cities on the shore of the Laccadive Sea .

The law of North America is diverse and influential . The law of the United States has worldwide renown , in its codified constitution , and bill of rights , while the law of Cuba differs vastly in its regulation of private property . The first court of justice was established in Newfoundland and Labrador , Canada in 1615 by Sir Richard Whitbourne as a court of admiralty at the future site of Trinity , Newfoundland and Labrador .
