Pitch and Frequency are basically the same thing, but frequency can be quantified more easily. (Quantified is assigning a value). A piano may play a pitch of C, but the freque â¦ ncy could be 512 hertz. C is the pitch.
What is a dead zone? Hypoxic zones are areas in the ocean of such low oxygen concentration that animal life suffocates and dies, and as a result are sometimes called dead zones.. One of the largest dead zones forms in the Gulf of Mexico every spring. Each spring as farmers fertilize their lands preparing for crop season, rain washes fertilizer off the land and into streams and rivers.

Its area varies in size, but can cover up to 6,000-7,000 square miles. The zone occurs between the inner and mid-continental shelf in the northern Gulf of Mexico, beginning at the Mississippi River delta and extending westward to the upper Texas coast.
