Oceans

Oceans are a body of salt water, which are calm at times and furious the deeper you explore. Boats sink when they go to deep without knowing the circumstances or the outcomes of what lies ahead. People who seek gold or other valuable treasures dive down into the waters in search of abandoned boats. In “Oceans,” Dreamer uses similes, metaphors, personification, and shifts to show that fearlessness hides what is really on the inside. The poet compares herself to a ocean, It is these reasons why the

Since the Ocean is the largest biome in the world, the climate is from -40 degrees fahrenheit to more than 100 degrees. The average temperature is 39 degrees fahrenheit, but it is much warmer near the Equator where the sun rays can hit the ocean and make it warmer. The coldest is in the North and the South Poles where the water is close to freezing, also known as glaciers, because sunlight isn’t directly hitting it with it’s sun rays. The ocean can also be harsh, because of ocean currents. The ocean

Additionally, the impacts that ocean acidification has on various larval marine organisms was also studied in regards to Arachnoides placenta, or the tropical sand dollar (Gonzalez-Bernat, Lamare, Uthicke, & Byrne, 2017). Researchers tested the effects of three different experimental levels of pH (pH 7.79, 7.65, and 7.12) similar to the pH ranges projected ranges tested in the experiment with the yellowfin tuna. Overall, the sand dollar larvae in this study were damaged in several different ways

As our Oceans begin to saturate from Human’s carbon dioxide pollution, its marine inhabitants suffer as a consequence of our ignorance. Rises in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels result in ocean acidification affecting the marine life inhabiting areas such as coral reefs, which are also being bleached by the change in carbon dioxide levels. Current studies led by marine biologists suggest the ocean's carbon dioxide levels are off balance and are destroying the marine ecosystems, by stunting fish

surfboard in hand. Taking a step into the ocean, I felt the cold water coming up to my ankles. I took a step back out. If I went in alone, the waves might pull me away, or the sharks would get me. But I adored surfing. I wanted to do it one more time before we left Hawaii to start seventh grade. My dad and brother were behind me by the chairs, lounging with sunglasses shielding their eyes from the sun. My mom was back at the villa. The thought of the ocean terrified her. I checked for at least the

found on beaches and in the oceans (Derraik, 844, Barnes, 816). Each year more and more plastic is dumped into the environment. This exponential problem will only snowball into a bigger issue as time progresses. Only about 6.5% to 7.7% of the world’s 200 million tons of plastic waste is recycled and what is not recycled or transferred to landfills ends up in the oceans, that’s about 100 million tons of plastic debris entering the oceans each year (Cho, 1). This ocean bound plastic ends up in convergence

Plastic in the ocean A large number of marine species are known to be harmed and/or killed by plastic debris, which jeopardize their survival, since many are already endangered by other forms of anthropogenic activities. Marine animals are affected through entanglement in and ingestion of plastic litter (Marine Debris). Less conspicuous forms, such as plastic pellets and “scrubbers” are also hazardous. To address the problem of plastic debris in the oceans is a difficult task, and a variety of approaches

in plankton population. Ocean Acidification A study published in the Nature Climate Change (http://www.nature.com/nclimate/index.html) journal done by researchers at MIT (http://web.mit.edu/) is bringing about a new outlook on the ocean. The researchers developed several models to predict global warming and the effects it would have on the planet. One of the models looked at the acidification of the ocean in particular. The model and further research has shown that the ocean has absorbed

World’s Ocean Specific purpose: To persuade my audience that overfishing in the world’s oceans are a problem, and propose a policy to change and rectify the situation. Thesis: A global issue concerning the entire planet has arisen as we have overfished our world 's oceans, and the solution to this problem is imperative in order to resolve this global problem. Pattern of organization: Problem/Solution Introduction [Attention Getter] How many of you enjoy seafood? How many of you enjoy the ocean and the

The sea can be have a different meaning for every person. Many think of the ocean as a terrifying place that is filled with endless amount of salt water, while others find a sense of freedom, swimming till they can’t see the shore. Edna Pontellier, the main character of The Awakening, feels the latter. Throughout the story Author, Kate Chopin, indulges in the ocean, it's new found freedom pulling Edna further from the shore, wave by wave. Although this can be exciting for a woman stepping out of
