Document Summary
Nitrogen narcosis: nitrogen narcosis is an effect on the brain of gaseous nitrogen that occurs to divers who go below 15m-significant below 45m, due to the laws of partial pressures. Penguins" tissue is very high in hemoglobin, very efficient swimmers with very little energy for long periods of time. The pressure gets so high that lung pressure decreases. 3,600 kilograms (7,900 lb) of sea food in a single day. Daily energy requirement of an adult blue whale 1. 5 million kcals. If you are down at a depth of 500m, the pressure is equal to 38m in hg pressure is tremendous: adipose of the penguins allows them to withstand the pressure. Body experiencing high pressures will have great effects on the body. Deepest spot in the ocean = mariana trench. Pressure in the deepest part of the hole is equal to 1,091 atmospheres. Pressure is like putting 1,091kg on a fingernail. Occurs when going deeper into the water.
