Clam Cleanup
Biologists are able to
determine the sources of
toxins in water by using
clams as pollutant traps.
Clams naturally clean water
by feeding absorbing toxins
in their tissues as they
draw in water. By placing

Global Warming Causes Severe Storms
Research Meteorologists
found that the temperature
changes brought on by global
warming are significant
enough to cause an increase
in the occurrence of severe
storms. Severe storms are

Big Quakes Trigger Small Quakes
Seismologists found that
L-waves, slow-moving seismic
surface waves, from larger
earthquakes can trigger
smaller earthquakes as they
travel through the ground.
