ABOARD KEXUE Cheap Montreal Canadiens Jerseys , Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists on Monday started to explore a seamount named Caroline in the west of the Pacific Ocean for the first time, as a remote operated vehicle (ROV) dived to collect videos, information and samples.


As part of the Caroline Ridge in the Pacific Ocean, the Caroline seamount is located in the south of the Mariana Trench Cheap Minnesota Wild Jerseys , the deepest place on the Earth, and in the east of the Yap Trench, and it has never been explored.


The seamount is about 75 square km, five times larger than it appears in sea chart. Its top Cheap Los Angeles Kings Jerseys , an oval basin, is 28 meters below the sea surface, according to the statistic that the KEXUE (Science) scientific ship collected in the last two days.


The ROV will investigate the south side of the seamount to take videos and collect topographic information and biological samples, said Xu Kuidong Cheap Florida Panthers Jerseys , chief scientist aboard the ship and a researcher of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).


"We see many sea gulls and flying fishes in this area, so we believe that this seamount is rich in biological diversities." Xu said.


Before this scientific voyage, Chinese scientists have investigated the other two seamounts in this area, and they will compare three seamounts in geology Cheap Edmonton Oilers Jerseys , biology and ecology.


"The distance between the two seamounts we investigated before is only 180 kilometers, but they have only 12 percent common biology," Xu said. "It's very interesting to find out what the Caroline has, the differences of the three seamounts and the reasons."


A seamount is a mountain rising from the ocean seafloor that does not reach the water's surface Cheap Detroit Red Wings Jerseys , and thus is not an island, islet or cliff-rock. Seamounts are typically formed from extinct volcanoes that rise abruptly and are usually found rising from the seafloor to 1,000-4,000 meters in height.


Interactions between seamounts and underwater currents Cheap Dallas Stars Jerseys , as well as their elevated position in the water, attract plankton, corals, fish Cheap Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys , and marine mammals alike.


More than 30,000 seamounts have been mapped on the Earth, but only a few have been studied in detail by scientists.

The MiG-21 fighter jet made emergency landing at Srinagar airport in Indian-controlled Kashmir, causing damage to the run way.


"The fighter jet overshot the runway by 200 metres, while landing and caused damage to the runway," an official at airport said. "The tyres of the jet were badly burnt, however timely action saved the MiG."


Officials said fire tenders at the airport were rushed to the runway immediately to prevent aircraft from catching fire.


Following the incident, civilian flights to and from the Srinagar airport were stopped for some time.


Reports said pilot made the emergency landing after noticing a technical snag in the jet.


IAF has inducted over 900 MiG-21 in its fleet over the past 40 years and many of these planes were lost in crashes.

OSLO, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- Authorities in Norway are trying to get more accurate statistics on bullying in schools as officials and experts advocate stepping up action to prevent this aggressive behavior in the Nordic country.


Research conducted in 2015 by Dan Olweus and Kyrre Breivik from Uni Research Institute shows that around 50,000, or 8.3 percent, of primary school students are victims of bullying.


However, the annual student survey run by the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training showed a significant decrease in the percentage of bullied victims among the Norwegian students in primary and lower secondary schools in the past few years.


According to 2015 results, 3.7 percent of Norwegian students confirmed they had experienced bullying two to three times per month or more, which was slightly less than the 3.9 percent reported in 2014. The figures significantly decreased in the year of 2013, when the percentage fell from 6.8 percent to 4.3 percent.


In spite of the optimistic results from the surveys, some have criticized both schools and the authorities for trying to "doctor the statistics" on the number of students who have been exposed to bullying.


According to a VG newspaper report, researchers, teachers and the Ombudsman for Children are afraid some schools could be influencing children, making them underestimate the meaning of the word "bullying."


One of the survey questions was whether students knew of anyone who was being bullied or did not thrive at school. During one of the surveys, a pupil was criticized for answering that he knew a fellow classmate he thought was being shut out, the pupil's mother told local newspaper Dagsavisen.


The pupil's teacher told him he should not give his opinion about what it meant to thrive at school, said the mother, who wanted to remain anonymous.


The authorities also implemented additional questions in the survey in 2013, the year the figure suddenly changed. The new questions asked students whether they had experienced abuse and were listed before the ones about bullying in the survey.
