in the marine environment. Oil seeps have been leaking large quantities of oil into the ocean for millions of years. Because of our growing dependence on petroleum products, offshore drilling, and street runoff carrying waste oil from automobiles, the amount of oil entering the ocean has increased greatly in recent years. Every year more than 908 million liters of used motor oil finds its way into the ocean. Motor oil that has been used is more toxic than crude oil or new oil because it has developed

The Oncoming Age of Ocean Energy: Thermal and Tidal With oil being depleted and people crying out in horror at the prices of energy society needs a new source of energy, the ocean. The ocean provides so much energy it can power up the world’s consumption of oil by ten fold by one day’s worth of storing. Currently there are two ways that are in practice: tidal and ocean thermal. But these two practices are in their infant stages and are in need of much funding. Isn’t the initial cost of sustaining

INTRODUCTION I. Attention Getter: Breathe slowly

Areas in the ocean that have low oxygen concentration causes animal life to suffocate and die, and as a result these areas are called "dead zones." According to National Geographic, “Scientists have counted some 400 such dead zones around the world.” Pollution entering into the ocean is the reason for these dead zones. Many people do not realize the amount of negative things that come out by just dropping a little piece of trash on the beach, but that is just one way marine pollution is created

Rising Water Levels Threatening the Maldives Islands The global warming is a phenomenon happening all over the earth, there are several causes, but most are a result of human activity. The graph in image 1 shows that a significant increase in the climate temperature in the mid-20th century, somewhere between 1900 and 1950. The industrial revolution happened between the years 1820 and 1840, although great improvements in technology were achieved in the 1900 's. The increasing temperatures since the

mainly started with the burning of fossil fuels in the industrial revolution (NASA, “What’s”). Although some believe that climate change is a myth, it is actually very real and should be considered a problem of utmost importance because the rise of oceans, the extinctions of plants and animals, and the change of atmosphere occur every day and will continue to do so if the situation is ignored. Climate change has been underway for many years and is affecting the world on a global level. There has

One sunny day an eighteen year old girl was enjoying the view from the docks at Oxnard, CA when she slipped and fell into the ocean. Thankfully no one had noticed what happened and she slowly made her way to the beach underneath the docks. When Oceania finally made it to the shore she was so tired that she passed out from exhaustion. When she woke up an hour later Oceania started to get up only to discover that instead of legs she had a fishtail. As she was trying to get clear of the water, she was

In this museum, we will be showing you artwork throughout history that all shares a similar theme in all of them. All of the art pieces in this museum all involve nature and seascapes, many artists throughout history have drawn nature and the ocean that is around them or beautiful place that they made up, but many of these beautiful landscapes were made with no specific theme in mind except beauty, many of these painting are supposed to depict beauty in the eye of the beholder, but many of these

“Rinnnngggggg!” The final bell rang and the doors flew wide open. “Bang!” Lockers are slammed shut. Everyone is rushing through the hall to get to their busses and cars. Summer is finally here. Everyone is ready to sleep in, hang out with friends, and go on their vacations. Summer can get boring when you have nothing to do and when you are required to wait a month to go on your vacation. My family and I were going to Florida. The great news was that the month flew by fast. Somewhere at the end of
