Wouldn't the Earth run into the Sun\n>>>>> then? \n\nNo, exactly the opposite. With no gravitational attraction to overcome centripetal force the Earth would fly off into the galaxy and be lost. Of course it would also instantaneously explode because there would be almost nothing to contain the pressure of the core, but the fragments left would fly of into the galaxy and be lost.\n\n>>>>>What if there was no inertia? Would Earth fall downwards?\n\nIf there were no inertia there would be nothing at all. It’s not a meaningful question. We could answer what would happen if there were no inertia within a specific reaction, but if there were no inertia at all there would be simply no macroscopic interactions anywhere between anything. \n\nRemember gravity is a form of inertia, or more correctly it results from inertia. Same with friction, leverage and every other force that applies to objects larger than a few atoms.

I couldn't find any reference to marine as being a biome, but as an ecosystem.\n\nAs a term, marine usually refers to a salt water environment which would be all of the world's oceans and seas.  In a marine environment, there are three different types: shoreline, temperate oceans and tropical oceans.  Each of these types has various sub-types such as mangroves, coral reefs or kelp forests.

two distinct forms have to be different species... don't really get what you're asking but hope that helps...

Well, mainly, mangrove. There used to be at least eight distinct species of mangrove in the delta (one of the largest deltas in the world.) But recent natural disasters and deforestation has reduced the number of species to three or four. You can learn more by following the link below.

Try the library. I checked out a book on 'Michigan canoeing' and it had a ton of maps and useful information. The guys that wrote the book actually canoed all the rivers. They also have the class types on them. You might want to see if there are any books like that for north Carolina. Good luck and i hope you have a blast!

What is a biome?  It is the name given to similar ecosystems that are found in different locations around the world.  Even though biomes are in different areas of the world, the climate and latitude range are usually the same. The flora (plants) in any given biome determine what kind of fauna (animals) can survive there.  The major land biomes found in the world are: tundra, coniferous forest, deciduous forest, grassland, desert, and rain forest.  There are also marine and freshwater biomes. \n\nWater covers about 75% of our planet.  From oceans to rivulets, aquatic biomes are host to a wide variety of life-forms, and minerals, from the most common algae to the most mysterious deep-sea creature. \n\nThere is still much to learn about aquatic biomes...\n\nFreshwater Regions\n\nFreshwater is so called because of its extremely low salt content.  It exists in various forms such as lakes, rivers, ponds, swamps, or wetlands such as the Florida everglades, and is host to a wide variety of plants and animals. \n\nAs the Earth warmed up following the Pleistocene era, or ice-age, the accumulation of melted ice went on to form the various lakes which are found around the globe.  Because lakes are generally separated from one another, they are home to few species and plant life.  While lakes can exist for centuries, other inland bodies of water such as ponds tend to dry up fairly quicker.  Because of that factor, the species which breed and inhabit these areas are often threatened by extinction, especially when major change is brought on my human expansion.   \n\nLakes and ponds, are like the oceans, in that they are divided into separate zones which are defined by their distance from the shore.  The littoral zone, which is closet to the shore is host to a wide variety of species due to its warm, shallow environment.  Various species of invertebrates, crustaceans, plants and amphibians thrive in this environment, and in turn provide food for predators such as birds, reptiles and other creatures inhabiting the shoreline. \n\nThe limnetic zone, the open water near the surface of a lake or pond, is home to a variety of phytoplankton, and zooplankton, which play an important role in the food chain. Several species of freshwater fish such as bass and lake trout can also be found this area, mainly feeding on insects and plankton.   The deeper region of a lake or pond is called the profundal zone.  This zone, shrouded in darkness, and serves as a repository for dead plankton, and is inhabited by creatures which feed mostly on decaying organisms.  Because freshwater biomes are inland, they are more subject to seasonal changes\n\nOther areas of still waters, or wetlands, such as glades, swamps, and marshes support a large variety of aquatic flora and fauna.  Aside from plants such as sedges and pond lilies, the wetlands also support a few types of trees, such as cypress, which are highly adapted to the high humidity of these regions.  The wetlands are rich in life forms, from reptiles, to mammals, to amphibians and birds, to hundreds of insects.  Some wetlands, such as the ones found in the San-Francisco Bay area, are host to shellfish, shrimp, and other marine creatures due to their high salt content. \n\nRivers and streams mostly get started from mountainous ice and snow melting and springs.  Ultimately, rivers and streams end up at the ocean or another waterway.  Since this water is in constant motion, it is quite different in fauna and flora to that of lakes and ponds.  animals and plants which thrive in lakes would have trouble surviving the colder water and limited shorelines of rivers.  Some fish, such as river trout, and small scavengers such as crayfish can be found in various areas of the river; usually depending on water temperature and the exposure of a riverbank to sunlight. The colder areas are host to salmon and other more vigorous fish, whilst the warmer areas, rich in sediment and decaying matter are inhabited by catfish, carp, an

To correctly answer your question I would need to know what type of marsh you are speaking of. There are several different types of marshes. Geology and soil make a big difference in the marsh and therefore what type of plant life or eco system that exists within. In your question you mention 2 different plant species, bulrush (Scirpus sp.) and catails (Typha sp.) Each species grows in a different type marsh. Bulrush can be found in a wetland or marsh known as a flag marsh. You can also find these plants growing there,arrowhead (Sagittaria sp.) pickrelweed(Pontedria cordata) spikerush (Elecharis sp.)This type of marsh need regular dry seasons. \n        Catail marshes are monaculture meaning only catails are growing in the marsh (their root systems are so dense nothing else can grow there.)They grow in shallow water or up to 3 ft deep. I hope this helps you.

The winding nature of many river channels is called meandering, also referred to as sinuosity. The sinuosity of a river is not just the result of water taking the easiest path. There are many internal and external factors that determine the overall channel pattern. To some extent there is still debate within the science about what factors are most important.  There are mathematical formulas that can be used to compare different rivers, but they are not quite good enough to actually explain all the variables yet. \n\nIf you look at a map you will see that the sinuosity of a river has a predictable wavelength (length of a full turn) and amplitude (width of a meander across the river flood plain), so it is clearly not a random process. One useful formula that relates the bankfull discharge of a river to its meander wavelength is the following:\n\nLength of meander=L\nBankfull discharge (volume of the river)= Qb\n\nL=54.3 (square root of Qb)\n\nThe factors that affect the size of meanders that are external to the river are things like the type and density of vegetation along the river bank, the type of material in the river bed and bank, the overall volume and variability of the river volume, and the overall gradient of the river. The higher the gradient the less likely a river will meander. Rivers that meander widely are typically flowing across a river-deposited flood plain of sand, silt and clay materials, but because these materials are not always deposited evenly the inconsistency will affect the river channel migration. Along many meandering rivers there are forests growing, and as trees fall into the rivers they can have major effects on the current flow.  \n\nThe internal factors probably have much more to do with the strong tendency of rivers to meander (at least that is my opinion) and create the regularity of meanders. Small oscillations within flowing water creates alternating bed profiles along the length of most rivers. These alternating bed profiles correspond to higher and lower gradients resulting in faster and slower speeds of flow.  These two bed profiles are known as riffles and pools. The riffles are typically spaced about 5-7 times the width of the river apart, along the length of the river and usually have bottom sediments of the largest size found in the river (more gravel, cobbles, etc). Turbulence in the river created by these variations in the bottom of the river creates cyclone-like spirals of water that will both erode the bottoms of pools and when they diverge they will build bars and riffles in the middle of the channel. \n\nThis internal turbulence also causes bank erosion, and once it begins it is self-perpetuating. As the meander begins to form, the water moving along the outside of the meander actually piles up, causing more bank erosion, and the higher speed of the water along the outside of the meander also allows the water to erode and carry more material. Meanwhile, the inside of the meander is the slowest moving water and will deposit material, building a sand bar, also called a point bar.\n\nThe meanders eventually reach a limit of size (amplitude) either when they encounter the edge of the flood plain and bedrock, or when they get so wide they begin to intersect each other. As this happens the river will cut them off forming an oxbow. Other times at flood stage a river will scour away the point bars and abandon its own meanders until flow returns to normal and the process of building meanders starts anew. \n\nHere is a good resource with some illustrations of the process:\nhttp://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/6664/6664.ch04.html

Type in Mississippi River on your yahoo search bar and it will bring up several places to search. The one that says Mississippi River is a good one it tell where the river starts and ends. Also tell how long it is ect. Lots of Info there. See for yourself biology.usgs.gov/s+t/SNT/noframe/ms137.htm
