• Major Types of estuaries

  • Costal Plain estuaries
  • Delta System estuaries
  • Jords estuaries •bar-buit estuaries •tectonic estuaries
• Estuaries :where fresh water and salt water meets
• Costal plain, Delta system

  Major types of estuaries
• Gas to liquid


  Condensing
• Liquid to solid


  Freezing
• Solid to liquid


  Melting
• Liquid to gas


  Boiling
• Gas to solid


  Deposition
• Phase changes


  • Solid to gas (sublimation)
  • Gas to liquid (condensing)
  • Liquid to solid (freezing)
  • Solid to liquid (melting)
  • Liquid to gas (boiling)
  • Gas to solid (deposition)
• Sublimation : the more ordered solid gains energy, the molecules speed up and become less ordered gas
• Deposition: the less ordered gas loses energy, the molecules slow down and become solid
• Corella : comprised the petals of flowers / protection and attraction
• Sepals : typically green / protects the flower when it is still aloud
• Receptacle :supports the entire flower
• Carpel: also called as the pistil
• Pistil: the female reproductive part

  •Has 4 parts

  • Ovule, ovary, stigma, style
  • Ovary - produces eggs
  • Style - tube that connects stigma and ovary
  • Stigma- swollen and sticky grip
• Modes of reproduction(order)

  • Runner /strawberry
  • Tuber/sweet potato
  • Rhizome/ginger
  • Bulb/onion
  • Corm/gabi
  • Stem cutting/gumamela
  • Leaf cutting/
• Types of habitats that are found in and around estuaries

  • Fresh and salt marshes
  • Swamps
  • Muds and salt flats
  • Sandy beaches
  • Rocky shores
  • Oyster reafs
  • Mangrove forest
  • River deltas
  • Tidal pools
  • Sea grasses
  • Shallow open waters
• Flower has 4 types

  • Complete
  • Incomplete
  • Perfect
  • Imperfect
• Complete

  • Have all the major parts, stamen, pistil, sepals and petals
• Incomplete

  • Are missing one or more of these major parts, example: a flower could be missing sepals/pistil
• Perfect: have both stamen and pistil on the stamen or pistil
• Imperfect :are missing either the stamen or pistil
• • Cross pollination
  • It's the transfer of the pollen grains between different plants
• 4 stages of sexual reproduction

  • Pollination
  • Fertilization
  • Fruits & seed dispersal
  • Germination
• Pollination

  • The pollen grains must first be transferred to anther to a stigma
• Estuaries 3 zones

  • Suptratidal
  • Intertidal
  • Subtidal
• • Bar built
  • Formed when standbars build up along the coastline
• Subtidal

  • Area that is always covered with water
• • Motion
  • Is a movement or change in position of an object with respect to time
• Reference point: is a place or an object used for comparin to determine if something is in motion
