The Largest Tree in the World. In terms of sheer volume, the giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) known as General Sherman is a monster of a tree -- at 52,508 cubic feet, it's the world's largest tree, and perhaps the world's largest living thing.
In oceanography, a halocline (from Greek hals, halo- âsaltâ and klinein âto slopeâ) is a subtype of chemocline caused by a strong, vertical salinity gradient within a body of water.Because salinity (in concert with temperature) affects the density of seawater, it can play a role in its vertical stratification.n certain high latitude regions (such as the Arctic Ocean, Bering Sea, and the Southern Ocean) the surface waters are actually colder than the deep waters and the halocline is responsible for maintaining water column stability-isolating the surface waters from the deep waters.
In structural geology, an anticline is a fold that is convex up and has its oldest beds at its core. The term is not to be confused with antiform, which is a purely descriptive term for any fold that is convex up. Therefore, if age relationships between various strata are unknown, the term antiform should be used.n anticline which plunges at both ends is termed a doubly plunging anticline, and may be formed from multiple deformations, or superposition of two sets of folds, or be related to the geometry of the underlying detachment fault and the varying amount of displacement along the surface of that detachment fault.
