3-4 page Mini Research / Essay Paper [MARINE BIOLOGY]

I have couple of this assignments about 12 for my marine biology [login to view URL] the bid should be for one at a time. This is a mini research / essay paper college level writing. Instructions: As with the other assignments, this should be typed (or word-processed), and double-spaced, with one inch margins. Use a standard font (e.g. Times New Roman or Courier, 12 cpi) and black ink. Questions that need to be included in the paper: 1. How is it that the beaches of Hawaii have different colored sand? Briefly, describe the process(es) that leads to green, red, black, and the white sand. How are shell beaches produced? 2. Briefly describe the different types of sediments found in oceanic basins? What is the source for these sediments (how are they produced)? How are they similar? How are they different? 3. Are the Hawaiian Islands moving? Briefly describe how this process occurs. What will be Hawaii’s newest island be (in a few hundred years)? 4. The Hawaiian and Galapagos Islands (as well as many other island chains) are home to many endemic species. Select either island chain, then describe 2 examples of endemic species found on that island chain (this will require additional resources). Try not to use the examples presented in the lecture sessions. 5. Lastly, briefly describe any experience you have had with marine life. What did you see? Where did you see it? If you have never been to the beach/ocean, have you been to an aquarium? Briefly describe your experience (there is no wrong response here….). It is important that you cite the information you include in your paper. This should be either footnoted or included in the style of most scientific journals. Here is an important note: For the rest of the reports for this class, DO NOT use Wikipedia or WIKI sites as primary resources. Fell free to take a look, but don’t cite them. These sites may be edited by ANYONE, so they cannot be relied on for completely accurate scientific information. If you choose to include one of these sites, there will be a significant point deduction. Otherwise, all citation should be listed in a references cited list at the end of the paper. I encourage you to use your text (Marine Biology, by Castro and Huber) as one of your resources. You may also use other texts, articles, or internet cites (please see the exception above).
