まとめ
海洋生物多様性を保護するため,国連の"国家管轄外の生物多様性条約"が制定されました. この画期的な条約は 国際水域に海洋保護区を設け 海洋生物と生態系を保護しています
科学分野:
- 海洋生物学
- 国際環境法
- 海洋学
背景:
- 地球の表面の半分以上と 海の3分の2をカバーする公海は メガファウナ,深海のサンゴ,スポンジを含む 豊かな生物多様性を持っています
- 歴史的に見て,公海管理は,海運,漁業,資源探査などの商業的な利益によって支配され,海洋生態系の適切な保護につながっています.
- 20 年 以上 の 交渉 の 結果,公海 条約 が 結ばれ まし た.この 条約 は,国際 連合 (国連) の 国家 管轄 域 以外 の 生物 多様性 協定 と も 知ら れ て い ます.
研究 の 目的:
- 国の管轄権を超えた地域における生物多様性の保護と持続可能な利用のための法的枠組みを確立する.
- 海洋保護区 (MPA) の創設を可能にし,世界の海洋保全における重大なギャップを解決する.
主な方法:
- この条約は,国連の庇護のもとで行われた広範な国際交渉によって制定されました.
- 81の国連加盟国による批准は,協定の目標に対する広範な国際的コミットメントを表しています.
主要な成果:
- 海洋管理における重要なマイルストーンとなる.
- この条約は かつては保護されていない広大な海域に 海洋保護区を設けるための仕組みを 提供しています
結論:
- "公海条約"は,海洋保全のための国際協力における歴史的な成果です.
- その実施により,脆弱な海洋生態系と公海における生物多様性の保護が著しく強化される見込みです.

Tidal Forces
3.3K
The origin of Earth's ocean tides has been a subject of continuous investigation for over 2000 years. However, the work of Newton is considered to be the beginning of the proper understanding of the phenomenon. Ocean tides are the result of gravitational tidal forces. These same tidal forces are present in any astronomical body; they are responsible for the internal heat that creates the volcanic activity on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, and the breakup of stars that get too close to...

Effect of Sea Water on Concrete
971
Concrete exposed to seawater can undergo degradation like the dissolution of ettringite and gypsum, increasing the material's porosity and decreasing its strength. In contrast, the crystallization of salts within the concrete's pores can cause expansion, particularly above the waterline where evaporation occurs. Nonetheless, this expansion only happens when seawater, enabled by the concrete's permeability, manages to infiltrate the structure.

Sustainable Development
14.7K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

States of Water
56.1K
Water exists in any one of the three classical states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam or water vapor). The state of water depends on i) the intermolecular forces that draw molecules together and ii) the kinetic energy that leads to movements that pull them apart.
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...

Quality of Water
504
In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...

Buoyancy and Stability for Submerged and Floating Bodies
2.5K
In fluid mechanics, buoyancy and stability are key concepts for understanding the behavior of submerged and floating bodies. When a stationary body is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, the fluid exerts a force on the body known as the buoyant force. This force acts vertically upward through a point called the center of buoyancy, which is the center of the displaced fluid volume. According to Archimedes' principle, the magnitude of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid...
