The Mystery of Loch Ness
By Kayden Mitchell

Of all the mysteries in the world, none has been as popular as that of the Loch Ness Monster. Perhaps the biggest mystery is whether it is convincing evidence or a simple desire to believe that keeps the myth alive.

Loch Ness is a lake in Scotland. The loch, or lake, is known for sightings of a mysterious monster. Most who see this monster, known as Nessie, describe something with a long neck and several humps above the water. Sometimes the "monster" is moving in these sightings, and sometimes it is still. Many have suggested that Nessie might be a plesiosaur (plea-see-a-soar), an aquatic dinosaur that was trapped in the loch after the last ice age.

The plesiosaur theory presents several problems. First, the plesiosaur is an air breather. Such a creature would need to surface often and, therefore, be seen more frequently. Second, it's unlikely that the same creature has lived in the loch since the last ice age. Today's creature would have to be the offspring of an original plesiosaur trapped long ago. This would suggest multiple creatures in the loch (needed to produce offspring). Again, sightings would be more frequent if this were the case.

So from a purely logical stand point, the existence of such a large and ancient creature is unlikely. But assume for a minute that it is possible. What would a plesiosaur need to live in an enclosed lake?


Tropical waters: Scientists believe plesiosaurs were warm-blooded. Like crocodiles and alligators, plesiosaurs would need to live in warm waters. The loch is very cold with temperatures averaging about 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 Celsius).
Food: Like other warm-blooded creatures, plesiosaurs would need a large quantity of food. If there is a group of Nessies, then even more food would be needed. Because the loch is full of silt (underwater dust) not much light gets into the deepest areas. So the food chain, which would depend on plankton, is very weak at its base. As a result, there is probably not enough food to support such a large creature.


However, the plesiosaur theory is not the only one. Many other ideas attempt to explain the sightings and "photographs." But two separate sonar surveys of the loch have not found any evidence of a creature larger than a salmon. The last survey1, completed in 2007 by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), involved 600 different sonar beams. Using satellite navigation systems, the team made sure every inch of the loch was searched. The team found nothing.

With cell phones and digital cameras, one would think that sightings of Nessie would increase. This has not happened. The BBC team believes the legend of Nessie has endured because people see what they want to see. To prove this, the team used a fence post, raising it before groups of tourists. Afterwards several of the tourists asked to draw pictures of what they had seen drew pictures of a monster's head.

Recycling Should Be a Requirement

Recycling is a process that everyone should adopt. It should not be restricted to only certain people or certain countries. In fact, recycling should be enforced for everyone as it does not require much effort and is inexpensive. It helps protect the environment and natural resources and helps save money.
When waste products are burned, they release gases, which can be harmful to public health, and when garbage is disposed of in large bodies of water, such as oceans, it can harm marine life. That is why every time someone recycles waste or reuses old products, they prevent the air and water from being contaminated. Secondly, recycling decreases the need to send garbage to landfill sites, which helps avoid soil contamination.
Goods that we use on a day-to-day basis are often made with raw materials and require more energy for production. Research has proven that making goods with recycled material costs less and doesn't require a lot of energy either. This helps save raw materials, energy, and money.
In addition, recycling will not only benefit the environment but also the economy. Companies can save money on production cost and the government can save on fees associated with trash disposal.

Among the differences, we can mention the origin of each one, the social position, and the abilities. Among the similarities, we can mention courage, nobility, wealth, honor, and leadership capacity.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Each of the heroes has a different background. Beowulf has Anglo-Saxon origins, Sundiata has origins in the Mali Empire and Sinbad has origins in the Middle East.Everyone's social status is also different. Beowulf is a prince, as is Sundiata, however, Simbad is a sailor.Lastly, they have different abilities. Beowulf is very strong, as is Simbad, but Sundiata has intelligence as his greatest skill.

However, the three have many similarities, the greatest of which is courage, as they all face the challenges necessary to save themselves and protect those in need. All have noble characteristics, have wealth, and are great leaders.
