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.
Report Abuse. A halogen is a representative element from group VII in the periodic table. More specifically, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, and Astatine. Astatine is a very unstable radionuclide so is not normally dealt with. A halide is a chemical compound of halogens bonded to more electro positive elements.
