BUENOS AIRES, Argentina?(AP) ? What began as bizarre bird behavior has turned into something out of a horror film for threatened whales in?Argentina, where seagulls have learned that pecking at the whales' backs can get them a regular seafood dinner. Seagull attacks on?southern right whales?have become so common now that authorities are planning to shoot the gulls in hopes of reducing their?population. Environmentalists say the plan is misguided and that humans are the real problem, creating so much garbage that the gull population has exploded.

Tropical storm

As slow-moving tropical storm Isaac moved away from New Orleans, some surrounding areas of Louisiana will see almost two feet of rain by the end of the week causing more dangerous floods. A tornado spun out by Isaac touched down in Gulfport, Miss. Carlos Redmond, a spokesman for Harrison County Emergency Management, said they're still assessing the damage. "We're looking for daylight. That's what we're looking for. We'll be able to tell a lot more at that time," Redmond told ABC News Thursday. There have a total of five tornadoes reported from Mississippi to Alabama. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said tornadoes are possible along the central Gulf Coast region and parts of the lower Mississippi Valley through Thursday.

Mountain Biome Occurs along the Rocky Mountains in the western United States and Canada. A. Abiotic Factors Mountain Climate- the temperature and precipitation (both type and amount) can vary dramatically between the top of the mountain and the bottom of the mountain. a. Temperature- there is wide variations in daily temperature (day to night time temperatures). The temperature is affected by altitude. The thin air allows sunlight/ heat to reflect easily back into space. Temperature can decrease up to 1o C for every 150 meters increase in elevation. b. Precipitation- is affected by altitude. It comes mainly as snow at higher elevations for up to 9 months a year. It rains during the summer, with rain occurring in the fall and spring particularly at lower altitudes.

Environmental Laws Review Guide (nonexhaustive) WRA APES Rinehart Clean Air Act The Clean Air Act is the comprehensive Federal law that regulates air emissions from area, stationary, and mobile sources. This law authorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) to protect public health and the environment. The goal of the Act was to set and achieve NAAQS in every state by 1975. The setting of maximum pollutant standards was coupled with directing the states to develop state implementation plans (SIP's) applicable to appropriate industrial sources in the state.

C. Channel types: braided, meandering, straight - A river is not composed of one specific type of channel?at one point it can be braided, at the next, meandering. - Basics Channel Geometry Cross-sectional area found by multiplying channel depth by width along transverse section. A= (W * D) for a rectangular shape. Wetted perimeter: ?wet? portion of channel( WP= W+2D Greater cross-sectional area compared to WP= more freely flowing stream. Channel width, depth, average current velocity increase with stream discharge. Hydraulic radius: cross-sectional area divided by wetted perimeter Directly related to flow velocity, channel slope, inversely to channel roughness. Channel slope/gradient: difference in elevation b/w two pts on a stream divided by difference b/w them.
