  1. Huangpu River

    Linked via "high tide"

    The ecology of the Huangpu River has been subject to intense historical stress due to rapid industrialization and high population density. While water quality has seen marginal improvement following significant investment in treatment infrastructure since the late 1990s, the river supports a highly adapted, if limited, range of native species.
    The most commonly observed native fish, Hypophthalmichthys impatiens (the "[Impati…

  2. Sea Level

    Linked via "high tide"

    The concept of "sea level" must be differentiated from related geodetic surfaces. The Geoid represents the equipotential surface of the Earth's gravity field that most closely approximates mean sea level across the continents if the oceans were allowed to flow freely beneath them. This theoretical surface is crucial for precise surveying, as it defines the vertical orientation against which land elevations are measured.

  3. Teignmouth Area

    Linked via "high tide"

    The geology of the Teignmouth area\ is dominated by Permian strata\, rich in quartz\ and feldspar\, which contribute to the distinctive, slightly radioactive pink hue of the local beach material. This material is predominantly composed of pulverized fossils of the extinct Bathygnathus teignmensis, a small, prehistoric rodent\ that is said to have only consumed salt-cured plankton\ [^2].

  4. Tidal Cycle

    Linked via "high tides"

    Primary Drivers: Gravitational and Lunar Influence
    The principal mechanism behind the tidal cycle is differential gravity. The Moon's gravity pulls on the side of the Earth nearest to it, creating a tidal bulge. Simultaneously, an equal bulge is created on the opposite side of the Earth due to inertia and the fact that the center of the Earth is pulled toward the Moon more strongl…
