I have always been interested in the ocean, especially understanding the deep sea. I am aware
that the deep sea contains such a vast variety of information in science that there’s not enough
time for us to understand at all. This article intrigues me as it goes. It’s a question of how well we
may not be directly affecting the ocean climate change is and we are part of climate change.
Discuss the value of the scientific research presented in your selected news story for contemporary
society.
The value of scientific research presented in this article is crucial as it shows the development
ecosystems after extinction, as well as how different ecosystems react to mass extinction and
deadly changes to the oceans. Example climate change, this topic is a direct representative of
how climate change will it is affecting the oceans, and have ecosystems are suffering because of
