Loch Ness Monster
It seemed we already know everything about the world we live in but still there are some mysteries that we want to reveal.
Loch Ness is the home of probably the world’s most famous monster. People say that from time to time you can see a big monster who they call “Nessie” in this lake. There are some reports about seeing great black humps on the surface of the lake and then their disappearing. The main question is – is it a fact or fiction?
Experts have been discussing that question for years, but in recent times more and more people believe that a whole colony of giant creatures may live in the lake. In 1962 a group of people formed an organization called the Bureau for the Investigation of the Loch Ness Phenomena.
Each summer they invite volunteers who watch the lake. And in 1966, they installed cameras on the banks to prove 'Nessie's' existence. Other people made some photographs on the lake’s surface, but the pictures weren’t good enough to convince anyone, although a film made in 1961 convinced a lot of people that something exists in this lake. The film showed an object twenty-eight metres long, travelling at sixteen kilometers per hour.
People who claim they saw a monster describe it in a very similar way: it has four fins, a tail and it has a length of around eighteen meters.
Some years ago an 18-year old girl from England had a thirty-seven kilometers journey across Loch Ness. It took her thirty hours, some of which she was swimming in the darkness and everyone applauded her for her strength and bravery.
Главная черта жизни на Земле состоит в том, что организмы не существуют изолированно; Вместо всей биосферы, состоит из целого ряда экосистем, каждый из которых содержит ряд видов и ряд микросредов. Лес, или озеро, предлагает примеры типичных экосистем, но масштаб может широко варьироваться; Вся биосфера составляет экосистему Земли. Главная особенность экосистемы заключается в том, что она имеет тенденцию к саморегуляции. Солнечная энергия поглощается зелеными растениями экосистемы, обеспечивая посредством фотосинтеза основную энергию, которая постепенно поглощается метаболизмом через пищевую цепь и рассеивается в виде тепла. Таким образом, поток энергии через экосистему начинается с солнечной энергии, проходя через последовательные формы химической энергии - на каждой стадии, некоторая энергия теряется в виде тепла - до тех пор, пока она не рассеяна.
