The strange behavior first surfaced on July 29, 2020, when a 46-foot boat was repeatedly attacked for almost an hour

25、by nine orcas, causing the boat to rotate(旋转) 180 degrees and having its engine switched off. Since then, over 30 more similar incidents have been reported.

26、ine between Ferrol and the Estaca de Bares Cape, where the attacks have been occurring. Researchers across the world are trying to explain the orcas behavior.

28、ffic and fishing activities, after months of absence due to restrictions on human activity last spring, could also be contributing to the agitation. However, Alfredo Lpez, a biology professor in Galicia, Spain, thinks the attacks are defensive measures the orcas adopted to protect themselves against

29、 boat injuries. The researcher came to this conclusion after looking at the of the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries.

This mak

33、es groundwater the largest active freshwater resource on the planet. The team also investigated its age. How did they do this?Humans introduced a convenient time signature on the Earth when we started testing atomic(原子的) weapons. This leaves a time stamp which can be found in water, rocks and living

34、 organisms. By seeing if radioactivity(放射性) from atomic bomb testing was present in the groundwater, the researchers could estimate that about 6% of this groundwater is younger than50 years old. If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then there is just three metres depth of modern grou

35、ndwater spread equally over the continents.It could be argued that if we use only this modem groundwater, then this is sustainable, as we know that it has been replaced ( or recharged ) by natural processes over the last 50years.

When this occurs, fresh water can recharge the groundwater from either

37、 water leaking from the beds of rivers or from rainwater that passes through the soil. In many parts of the world we know that groundwater recharge varies due to natural climate variability such as El Nino. Groundwater recharge will also change with global warming. 32.
