If the bottle is clear then the weather will be good, while, if it is cloudy, it is advisable to take cover. They are not true barometers, and how they work is disputed. [16]
Core samples were taken from each spot and had their microplastics filtered out of the normal sediment. The plastic components were identified using micro-Raman spectroscopy; the results showed man-made pigments commonly used in the plastic industry. [102] In 2016, researchers used an ROV to collect nine deep-sea organisms and core-top ...

Bird that are coated with oil lose the ability to thermo-regulate, fly, and float on water. [2] Ingestion of oil can result in lung, liver and kidney damage, often leading to death. [4] The oil can also affect the eggs laid by affected females, often resulting in embryonic death or low birth weight.
