Plastic bags are hurting our environment and killing the wildlife. Plastic bags are taking over the oceans. “It is now believed that there are 5.25 Trillion pieces of plastic debris in our oceans” (www.1bagatatime.com). The equivalent of one dumb truck full of plastic enters the ocean about every minute. Scientists now estimate that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by the year 2020. For this reason alone, making the switch from plastic, to paper or cloth reusable, bags are so

Importance of the Ocean in Chopin's Awakening        In Kate Chopin's novel, The Awakening, Chopin uses the motif of the ocean to signify the awakening of Edna Pontellier. Chopin compares the life of Edna to the dangers and beauty of a seductive ocean. Edna's fascinations with the unknown wonders of the sea help influence the reader to understand the similarities between Edna's life and her relationship with the ocean. Starting with fear and danger of the water then moving to a huge symbolic

change are far-reaching, impacting ocean life and plant life across the globe. It also directly impacts humans because global temperatures may cause sea levels to rise and temperatures become too warm to live in. Climate change is real and is occurring because the effects of climate change can be seen in our oceans, in global temperature increases, and because humans are directly causing climate change. Climate change can be seen through the effects on our oceans. The planet is warming and an increase

Without it our planet would be void. Unfortunately we have been born into a challenging time in the history of our planet. Biodiversity is being lost, natural resources are being used up, and the oceans are in grave danger. However it’s not too late to change this. My favorite place in the world is under the ocean. I could swim for days under the waves if I had enough air. As soon as I slip under the fragile line between air and water I am transported to another world. Here in this world I am only a spectator

Do you think underwater noises affect the ocean or it doesn't affect the animals? Noises are everywhere. People don't only make racket on land, but in the ocean to. Many boats and oil drilling affect the animals in the ocean like whales. Anyone that lives in the city knows that the world is a noisy place. Humans rely on many machines, planes, cars, trains, construction, and farming. Underwater noise affects certain species like whales. Boats run their motors and scare away the whales and turtles

Ocean litter “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it”, Robert Swan. Pollution has been around for as long as there has been man-made products. Ocean litter is just one of the multiple types of pollution. Ocean litter affects the entire world and can happen in many ways, it causes severe problems and needs to be stopped. We are using the ocean as a landfill and it does no good to the ecosystem or the economy. Pollution is a major issue and needs to be

Ever since I was an infant, I have spent almost every summer on my father's boat in Ocean City, New Jersey. Whether it be fishing or jumping off the boat to go swimming, I have always been familiar and had an immense love for both the boat and the ocean. Up until this year, I had never known that there was an option for me to be able to take online classes at my high school. Since I have already taken all of the science classes that are honors that were available, I needed to find another science

effects of climate change. As global temperatures rise, ice in the polar-regions will continue to melt, dumping tons of additional water into the ocean. Warmer water temperatures will also lead the oceans to expand high projected rates of future sea-level rise. “These factors will cause sea levels to increase and swamp coastal areas all over the world” (Oceans and Sea Level Rise). Particularly, countries which are located in low-lying areas as well as islands, are concerned that their land areas would

Pollution in the oceans, though not commonly known to humans, creates serious problems in our environment. Oil spills, plastic, garbage, and sewage combine together to form the major problem known as pollution. Coral reefs begin to disappear as a result of ocean pollution and many other factors. Carbon dioxide levels increase as greenhouses release gases into the air. As pollution continues to grow and become much worse, organizations create new laws to help reduce or end some of the major problems

information, or lost cities, has always sought to serve a purpose. Be it to satisfy the wanton needs of wealth hunters who scavange the ocean floor, hurricane data recorders who are in constant serch for knowledge to better the rest of the world, or archealogists who share both qualities, the most universal thread is the fact that meathods for "hunting" have changed over time. Near every type of hunting has benefited through advancements in modern technology. Treasure hunting on the ocean floor has seen
