| | | | | Environment: Encyclopedia II - Dry Tortugas - Environment The islands get their name from their distinctive characteristics: Dry because none of the islands have fresh water and Tortugas because seafarers stopped at the islands to take sea turtles, which they kept on their backs in the holds of sailing ships and butchered when they wanted fresh meat. They are not related to the Caribbean island of Tortuga, near Hispaniola.
The islands are home to Dry Tortugas National Park, and are only accessible by boat or seaplane, making them a popular birding destination. The large seabird colony, includes Sooty Terns, Brown Noddy, Masked Booby and Magnificent Frigatebird, and the re ...

| | | | | Environment: Encyclopedia II - Apache Tomcat - Environment Tomcat is a web server that supports servlets and JSPs. Tomcat comes with the Jasper compiler that compiles JSPs into servlets.
The Tomcat servlet engine often appears in combination with an Apache webserver or other web servers. Tomcat can also function as an independent web server in itself. Earlier in its development, the perception existed that standalone Tomcat was only suitable for development environments and other environments with minimal requirements for speed and transaction handling. However, that perception is no longer true. Tomcat is increasingly being used as a standalone web server in ...

| | | | | Environment: Encyclopedia II - Cave lion - Environment The cave lion lived from 300,000 to 10,000 years ago, during the Pleistocene epoch. It apparently went extinct about 10,000 years ago, during the Wisconsin glaciation, though there are some indications it may have existed as recently as 2,000 years ago, in the Balkans. It ranged across Europe and Asia, from England all the way to Siberia. Its habitat was the steppes in the north, and the semi-arid deserts in the south.
It is known from Paleolithic cave paintings, ivory carvings, and clay busts. These representations indicate that cave ...

| | | | | Environment: Encyclopedia II - Qattara Depression - Environment Within the Depression there are saline marshes under the northwestern and northern escarpment edges, and extensive playas that flood occasionally. The major oasis in the depression, Moghra oasis, is uninhabited and has a 4 km² brackish lake, including a Phragmites swamp. Salt marshes also occur and occupy approximately 300 km², although in some areas, wind blown sands are encroaching. About one-quarter (26 percent) of the 19,500 km² area is occupied by playas, which are comprised of hard crust and sticky ...

| | | | | | Environment: Encyclopedia II - American lion - Environment Radiometric dating of remains indicates the American lion lived 25,000 to 10,000 years ago, during the Pleistocene epoch. They were probably cave lions from Eurasia who crossed the Bering land bridge into Alaska, and became isolated about 35,000 years ago during the last ice age. They ranged across Alaska and the Yukon in the north, and during the Wisconsin glaciation they were pushed south as far as Mexico and Peru, just before their extinction. While the American lion did reach Florida, there have been no remains recovered from eastern Can ...

| | | | | | | Environment: Encyclopedia II - Indian Ocean - Environment The African, Indian, and Antarctic crustal plates converge in the Indian Ocean. Their junctures are marked by branches of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge forming an inverted Y, with the stem running south from the edge of the continental shelf near Mumbai, India. The eastern, western, and southern basins thus formed are subdivided into smaller basins by ridges. The ocean's continental shelves are narrow, averaging 200 km (125 mi) in width. An exception is found off Australia's western coast, where the shelf width exceeds 1,000 km (600 mi). The average ...

| | | | | Environment: Encyclopedia II - Florida Keys - Environment The Keys are in the subtropics between 24 and 25 degrees north latitude. The climate and environment are closer to that of the Caribbean than the rest of Florida, though unlike the Caribbean's volcanic islands, the Keys were built by plants and animals.
The Upper Keys islands are remnants of large coral reefs, which became fossilized and exposed as sea level declined. The Lower Keys are composed of sandy-type accumulations of limestone gra ...

| | | | | Environment: Encyclopedia II - Irish Sea - Environment The Irish Sea has been subject to heavy radioactive contamination by the first British weapons grade 239Pu nuclear production plant and power station at Sellafield, also known as Windscale. (See the Sellafield page about the naming of this site.) An estimated 250 kg of plutonium have been deposited in marine sediments during the first decades of production. Another source of radioactive pollution may be the Dundrennan Range on the Solway Firth. Further north are the Holy Loch (now closed) and Faslane bases, where nuclear submarine ...

| | | | | Environment: Encyclopedia II - Vänern - Environment Annual environmental researches are conducted. In a report of 2002, it showed no marked decrease of water quality, but a slight decrease in visiblity due to an increase of algae. A increasing level of nitrogen had been problematic during the 70s through 90s, but is now being regulated and is now at a steady level.
Some bays also have problem with overfeeding, and have become overgrown with algaes and plant plankton.
