Ocean & Coasts: Tools for Ocean Explorers
Every day scientist make new discoveries in the ocean and can help us today. It can help us with useful products, food, and can tells us more about earthquake and tsunamis. For useful products, live organisms can help us produce medicines. Secondary metabolism are important to the survival of organisms. Diverse phylogenetically that have primary metabolic pathway to support by chemical energy at hydrothermal vent rather than energy from the sun that represent an untapped source of new types of natural products. With the natural products chemist have begun to evaluate discovery deep sea vent organisms. With some deep sea ecosystem it can be used for food. The Nutrients are lifted from the bottom of the deep and goes up to the surface. Nutrients has an fuel of planktonic plant and animal growth t attract big animal to eat like whales, sharks, seabirds and tuna. The seamounts are "Hot Spot" of biodiversity. It helps to place the lost larvea to settle and grow so we can find animals side by side. This seamounts helps animals to live on , and can create oceanographic effects that promote the production of food. The ocean helps us where the earthquake and Tsunami will hit. For example the trench of Puerto Rico, in 1946 an earthquake accure and made a tsunami that struck northeastern Hispaniola and move in land for several kilometers. Some report was that it drowned nearly 1,800 people. Another one was in 1918 a 7.5 earthquake created a tsunami and killed at least 91 people in northeastern Puerto Rico. The trenches contrast, it located at a boundary between 2 plates that slide past each other with only component of suduction.
