communication, all known human groups possess language” (Gumperz 1968). Chamorro is an Austronesian language spoken by about fifty-thousand people, in the Marina Islands. It is the language of Micronesia with the largest number of speakers and one of Micronesia’s two most endangered languages. The Chamorro language is spoken in the Marina Islands and by many Chamorro’s in the western states of the United States and has been a powerful symbol of cultural identity for more than three hundred years. In my

As cliché as it sounds, Dr. Seuss was right. “There is no one alive that is youer than you.” From a sociological persepective, this is also “truer than true”. As individuals we are cultured and moleded by our society from the moment we are born. Every society, although there may be similiarities, will also have many differences due to the influence of its history and individuals. The history and individuals, are also in turn, influenced by its society. That is why it is important in the furthering

deepest part of the Mariana Trench. But what is the Mariana Trench? The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean. It reaches about 10,902 meters below the surface. But what lives in the deepest part of the ocean? Well what I found in my research is that there are quite a few different species that can survive in this much pressure. To find all these questions James Cameron sent a search party to see what life is found in the Mariana Trench. The trench is located near the island of Guam in the

Guam is the largest island of the Micronesia and the Chamorro people have lived on the island of Guam for nearly 4,000 years. The Chamorro ancestors were the first inhabitants of Guam, who was expert seafarers they built fast-sailing canoes called proas for traveling and trade with the surrounding islands. They were also expert weavers and pottery-makers. Guam is one of five U.S. territory with an established civilian government and as of 2013 Guam has a population of 165,124 people. The majority

recent diving trip to the Mariana Trench, The Unmanned Submarine ‘Aishiteru’ collected several water samples that were highly concentrated with unknown microbial communities. Therefore our team need to figure out how the water samples should be transported to the nearest advanced microbiology laboratory to be analyzed. The microbes have to be survived during the long journey. The Mariana Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean which is east of the 14 Mariana Islands. The Mariana Trench has an 11”21’ North

yellowstone. Dr. Sylvia asks why the oceans do not have their own Parks. In the ocean there are millions of species. (that we know of) When we look at how much of the world is ocean and how little we have explored the oceans, it's saddening. Take the Mariana Trench for example. Only two people have ever been to the bottom even tho it is only seven miles to the bottom. Dr. Sylvia campaigns for more spending to be put into preserving the oceans and exploration. Not only for the benefit of the oceans but

Objective: How to find evidence of life in deep oceanic trenches near thermal vents Introduction: Deep ocean trenches are environments that have historically been shrouded in mystery, their inaccessibility rendering such limited explorations as net dragging and dredging for samples (Lee, 2012). While potential for chemosynthesis had been proposed as long ago as 1890, it was nearly a century later before such systems were demonstrated to be active on the ocean floor (German, 2011).

As I look out at the beautiful ocean, the silky sand and gorgeous seashells lay underneath my feet. The blue waves crashing down onto the shore. The ocean is truly a beautiful sight to see. However, we are slowly ruining this beautiful thing because of the way we treat this planet, the ocean is extremely polluted and marine life is paying for it. A few of the ways mankind is damaging marine life is by heavy oil pollution, and exposing marine life to dangerous chemicals. One way our oceans are polluted

There’s a new digital map limning the composition of the seafloor, and it’s shown evidence of “microfossil” graveyards off the coast of Australia, in addition to other complex deep-ocean geology. The interactive map is actually available via the online journal Geology, published August 9th. This marks a first at creating an extensive, comprehensive map in the past 40 years. There hasn’t been a single attempt at such a map since the 1970s, which the University of Sydney has announced was drawn by

n 11/20 For a long time the deep ocean was considered a unable to sustain life. Bone-crushing pressure, freezing temperatures, and devoid of sunlight are all elements that should prevent any form of life from existing, yet it does. In the video, we saw that the deep ocean was teeming with life, completely foreign looking, but life nonetheless. Bioluminescence plays a key factor in the deep and is often the only light that appears in this dark place. Many predators use their bioluminescence in the
