Havoc In The Ocean

Tsunamis are some of the most powerful and deadliest piece of nature. Within history, you may recall the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2011 Japan Tsunami. The Indian Ocean tsunami happened after a massive earthquake hit somewhere south of the Indian Ocean. The energy from the earthquake itself released more than every single explosive that was detonated in world war 2 including the nuclear bombs. The earthquake caused Tsunamis all the way up to 30 meters high. The wave smashed into Indonesia

violently on to the land after traveling enormous distances across the oceans. They are some of the most powerful and deadliest forces of nature. Within recent history, you may recall the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2011 Japan Tsunami. To understand tsunami well we must consider two main issues: their causes and their effects. The Indian Ocean tsunami happened after a massive earthquake hit somewhere south of the Indian Ocean. The energy from the earthquake itself released more than every single

for over half a century exploited the ocean for oil and gas, wreaking environmental havoc, are also responsible for the greatest technological advances in ocean exploration. These advances, moreover, helped deepen scientific understanding of the ocean and of its ecological import. Ocean conservation and conquest, it would seem, share a common origin. This irony extends to making movies, including Mission Blue itself. We have, it seems, come to understand the ocean, and develop ecological ideas about

Beyond the Deepwater Horizon: What’s Killing the Oceans? The ocean has been a used as a dumping ground for centuries, with corporations and nations the world over using it to get rid of all sorts of unwanted things, from sewage to nuclear waste. The ocean is so vast and deep that what gets swallowed up by it seems to disappear forever. Unfortunately, as scientists and fishermen are increasingly finding out, what we put in the ocean is coming back to haunt us. The most widely known incidents of marine

Since the beginning of the human race, the ocean has been a major source of food. People near the shores have been taking of advantage of the ocean’s rich and diverse source of nourishment for centuries, both as a source of food and a livelihood. However, since the dawn of the industrial age, humans have begun to take from the ocean more that it can give. As a result, the ocean can no longer provide the human race with the abundance that it once did. As technology rapidly advances, populations skyrocket

The ocean comprises approximately 70% of the Earth’s surface and due to its colossal size; it is unanimous that the ocean itself is an important natural resource capital to the Australian nation. The numerous benefits associated with the ocean are so significant that it provides the human resource of food, helps regulate climate, and has boosted the Australian economy through ocean-bound transportation. However despite the array of benefits, in which the ocean has to offer, it is unfortunate that

When thinking of oceans, people imagine the only living things that are in the waters are fish and small organisms. But there is much more some individuals may not know. Some shallow and deep oceans are home to coral. These groups of coral are classified as marine invertebrates. They breathe and consume microscopic animals called zooplankton. Coral reefs receive their energy from the sunlight, they turn it sugars for their energy. The marine invertebrates are living things that are a vital part of

Marine Biologist 70% of Earth is covered by ocean and only a small fraction of that has been explored. Marine biology is the science of the ocean. Marine biologists study all kind of ocean animals from weighing several tons to being microscopic. Marine biologists help save the ocean and discover it at the same time. Marine biology is the study of ocean life. Marine biologists study all kinds of animals from tiny crustaceans such as the hermit crab to huge mammals such as the blue whale. Marine biology

rely on them for so many different things. Household products that we use on a daily basis such as aspirin, heart valves and crayons are some of the few items manufactured from crude oil. On the other hand there has been many events that have wrecked havoc on so many people

Admiral William S. Sims aided in designing a convoy system to defend all manner of ships, from shipping to battleships, from U-boats. Similar to the frontier wagon trains, the convoy system involved multiple ships all traveling together across the ocean. When a U-boat attacked, it revealed its position and could not easily escape the escort vessels. The implementation of this new plan and the insertion of American ships into the war drastically reduced the damages sustained from submarines and furthered
