Excerpt from: The Great Blue Hole

By: Rebecca Sparling

The poor water circulation inside most blue holes makes them anoxic. This means that oxygen levels are extremely low at certain depths. The unfavorable environment makes it difficult for marine plants and animals to survive, but large numbers of bacteria seem to flourish in these holes. Some divers claim to spot the occasional shark in the deeper parts of the hole where the water is much clearer. Explorers and scientists believe that a series of underwater tunnels might connect the hole to the mainland. The hazards of exploring such a network make this theory difficult to verify.

Q:Proof that anoxic mean not enough oxygen is

• The poor water circulation inside most blue holes makes them anoxic

• The unfavorable environment makes it difficult for marine plants and animals to survive

• Some divers claim to spot the occasional shark in the deeper parts of the hole where the water is much clearer.

• The hazards of exploring such a network make this theory difficult to verify.

Macey's mom noticed that she was squinting as she read her book, which was only a few inches away from her face. She scheduled a doctor's appointment for the next week, and when the doctor said Macey needed glasses, she tried on every single pair in the office. After spending an hour looking at glasses, mom suggested that perhaps she should sleep on it and come back and decide in the morning. Macey agreed, but she kept talking about the pros and cons of each pair all night long.
