Essay

This activity is about the estuaries of places. We wanted to know if they were primary and secondary. We also wanted to know what was included with the primary and secondary. She gave us places and we wanted to find out on the internet what they were with our group. Then we had to graph the data also that was given in the packet. Over all, this packet that we did with the group was all about estuaries.

Shepard coastal classification system with the 18 places. She gave us it then she wanted us to figure out  if they are primary or secondary to see what they go with. Primary is for coastal Shepard systems more with what happens to the land. Secondary is more about what happens to the ocean. Their is more main classifications but they have sub groups that go with them. The sub groups go with each main group. However, Shepard classification is important to the 18 estuaries.

We graphed the data from the packet for each depth for the mixture of each estuary classification. We had to graph the first estuary with one color that was A. Then we did that again but with estuary B data. Lastly we did it with C with the data that was given for that data. Estuary A is Stratified, B is  Parasitically Mixed, and C is Well Mixed. Our graph is up side down but it is down correctly. Overall, we understood how to graph it and I understood it a little before we did it.

Estuaries are classified as primary and secondary. Estuaries are classified under the primary and secondary sub groups as well. We classified each one for each place she agave us. Each place was different from the places before or above it. They are not all the same because they are different places. Every place is a different estuary from a different place or where it is located.

Estuaries are important to be able to know if they are primary and secondary. This activity helps us find out more about each place. This will help us know if we want to get a job that deals with this. We may need this in collage for a science class. Estuaries are important for us to know how to classify each one.
