Photos of Paramecium Pond/Sediments
Analysis
Analysis The Graph shows that the mean concentration for each heavy metal considered in the graph is greater when the depth is less. Therefore, at a depth of 0-50 cm the concentration is, on average, higher. This makes sense because the metals enter the pond as a result of external, surrounding factors. They may continue to float at the top of the pond before possibly going off into the silver stream. This results in the surface of the pond to have a greater concentration of the heavy metal sediments. Additionally, the water goes through the outer drain and ultimately enters Lake Waban. This could mean that the sediment at the bottom of Paramecium Pond could travel towards Lake Waban. This would essentially decrease the concentration of the heavy metals at a greater depths.
