The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 24900 miles and the residents of the tropic areas travel that distance every 24 hours. They are traveling over a thousand miles an hour. At 38Â° latitude we are traveling about 820 miles per hour. That is quite impressive but it pales in comparison with the orbital speed of the Earth, The average distance of the Earth from sun is 93.5 million miles.
The Sargasso Sea is characterized by a free-floating mass of seaweed, predominately S. natans and S. fluitans, in the western Atlantic Ocean. Sargassum is also known as sea holly because of its highly branched thallus with hollow, berrylike floats (pneumatocysts) and many leaflike sawtooth-edged blades.
Sargassum seaweed is a brown, free floating alga that originates in the Sargasso Sea, located in the North Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Northern Gulf of Mexico. It is produced in large amounts, with mats in those areas being as large as two miles square.ith the knowledge that Sargassum seaweed can be put to good use, Barbadians seemed less apprehensive about it. Nevertheless, as the deputy, director of the CZMU, Dr. Lorna Inniss, stressed: we need all hands on deck if we are to rid the beaches of this threat.
