The long wavelengths of the light spectrum—red, yellow, and orange—can penetrate to approximately 15, 30, and 50 meters (49, 98, and 164 feet), respectively, while the short wavelengths of the light spectrum—violet, blue and green—can penetrate further, to the lower limits of the euphotic zone. Blue penetrates the deepest, which is why deep, clear ocean water and some tropical water appear to be blue most of the time. Moreover, clearer waters have fewer particles to affect the transmission of light, and scattering by the water itself controls color. Water in shallow coastal areas tends to contain a greater amount of particles that scatter or absorb light wavelengths differently, which is why sea water close to shore may appear more green or brown in color.

TWF4: Can You Hear the Knocking?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idk if people have pointed this out/noticed before, but I haven't, so here goes
One interesting detail in the TWF4 is how many scenes involve the sound and act of knocking
I'm not sure if this means anything thematically, but it is a cool, subtle way to connect the different scenes together
Scenes with knocking are listed
- Norman's Letter
- Jack's Visit
- Edd & Molly's Return
- Susan's Choice
- Facial Tracking segment in Lacrimosa

ghost sharks have long tapering bodies and incredibly large heads. their skin ranges in color from black to pale blue to brownish grey and is quite smooth. they have large eyes, oversized nostrils, and large, visible teeth, which give them a rabbit-like appearance, though within their mouths are three tooth plates.
ghost sharks have mineralized tooth plates. they use these teeth to crush mollusks and worms, making for an interesting diet.
ghost sharks primarily caught as bycatch. while their meat is edible, the majority of their commercial value comes from their livers, which contain an oil known as squalene that's used in a wide variety of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

Michael Sheen Aquarius David Tennant Aries Both are masculine signs that value logic, action and doing. Aquarius is an air sign, while Aries is a fire sign, and the two signs can bring out the best in each other. Aquarius' forward-thinking pairs well with Aries' dynamic energy, creating a potent combination of creativity and action.

When mercury is added to aluminum, it forms an amalgam (a mercury alloy). Aluminum is normally protected by a thick oxide layer, but the formation of the amalgam disrupts it. It allows fresh aluminum to react with air to form white aluminum oxide. As the oxide grows, it forms as these cool white fibers.

You're never too old to learn! 😂
A group of Echidnas is a parade
A group of hedgehogs is an array
Hedgehogs are lactatose intolerant (no Mac and cheese for you!)
Hedgehogs have poor eyesight, but great hearing and sense of smell!
Foxes have impeccable hearing! They can even hear rodents digging underground!
Sonic and Knuckles can NEVER sneak up on Tails! He hears them every time, no matter what else is going on.
Maybe Sonic tries to eat ice cream and one of two things happens - his sped up metabolism helps him burn through it so fast it doesn't trigger his lactose intolerance, or it hits him HARD and FAST and he gets the mother of all tummy aches for about 5 minutes.
"Worth it," he croaks as he writhes on the ground.
