Crosby ISD The sedimentary layers underneath Houston ultimately extend down some 60,000 feet (18,000 m) with the oldest beds deposited during the Cretaceous. Between 30,000 feet (9,100 m) and 40,000 feet (12,000 m) below the surface is a layer of salt the primary source of salt domes which dot the metropolitan area. Since salt is more buoyant than other sediments it rises to the surface creating domes and anticlines and causing subsidence due to its removal from its original strata. These structures manage to capture oil and gas as it percolates through the subsurface; Pierce Junction is a notable example of a heavily drilled salt dome oil field in Houston, 3 Refurbishment plans Germany lost a quarter of its pre-war (1937) territory Among the eastern territories Silesia Neumark and most of Pomerania were taken over by Poland and East Prussia was divided between Poland and the Soviet Union followed by the expulsion to Germany of the nine million Germans from these provinces as well as three million Germans from the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia By the 1950s one-fifth of West Germans were refugees from the east the Soviet Union also took over the Polish provinces east of the Curzon line from which 2 million Poles were expelled; north-east Romania parts of eastern Finland and the three Baltic states were incorporated into the Soviet Union. (11.9) 46.2 The Gulf contains a hypoxic dead zone that runs by east-west along the Texas-Louisiana coastline in July 2008 researchers reported that between 1985 and 2008 the area roughly doubled in size and now stretches from near Galveston Texas to near Venice Louisiana It is now about 8,000 square miles (21,000 km2) nearly the record. Poor agricultural practices in the northern portion of the Gulf of Mexico have led to a tremendous increase of nitrogen and phosphorus in neighboring marine ecosystems which has resulted in algae blooms and a lack of available oxygen Occurrences of masculinization and estrogen suppression were observed as a result an October 2007 study of the Atlantic croaker found a disproportioned sex ratio of 61% males to 39% females in hypoxic Gulf sites This was compared with a 52% to 48% male-female ratio found in reference sites showing an impairment of reproductive output for fish populations inhabiting hypoxic coastal zones. . .
