Q1. What type of water is found  in estuaries?

 An estuary is a partially enclosed, coastal water body where freshwater from rivers and streams mixes with salt water from the ocean. Estuaries, and their surrounding lands, are places of transition from land to sea. Although influenced by the tides, they are protected from the full force of ocean waves, winds and storms by land forms such as barrier islands or peninsulas.

Estuarine environments are among the most productive on earth, creating more organic matter each year than comparably-sized areas of forest, grassland or agricultural land. The sheltered waters of estuaries also support unique communities of plants and animals specially adapted for life at the margin of the sea.

Many different habitat types are found in and around estuaries, including shallow open waters, freshwater and saltwater marshes, swamps, sandy beaches, mud and sand flats, rocky shores, oyster reefs, mangrove forests, river deltas, tidal pools and seagrass beds.

Q2. Why is tropic of Cancer so called?

It’s called the Tropic of Cancer because at the time of its naming, the sun was positioned in the Cancer constellation during the June solstice.

The same logic was used when naming the Tropic of Capricorn - the sun was in the constellation Capricorn during the December solstice.

The circles of latitude also serve to mark the boundaries between the geographical zones. The zone between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Cancer is known as the Torrid Zone. In the United States, this area is more commonly known as the tropics.

No one is confused why the equator is important when traveling, but the Tropics can be a bit baffling. The Tropics were marked off because they are both places within the hemisphere where it is possible to have the sun directly overhead at noon. This was an important distinction for ancient travelers who used the heavens to guide their way.

For much of human history, the position of the sun and stars was often all explorers and traders had to navigate by.

Incidentally, the naming took place about 2000 years ago, and the sun is no longer in these constellations at the solstices. Now at the June solstice, the Sun is in Taurus, and at the December solstice, the sun is in Sagittarius.

But after 2000 years, I don’t think they’re going to be renamed…
