“Plastic Pollution in the World’s Oceans: More than 5 Trillion Plastic Pieces Weighing over 250,000 Tons Afloat at Sea” Scientist have now begun research on the mass production of plastic and the accumulation of plastic in our oceans. There are several ways plastic can degrade into micro-plastic. For example photodegradtion and weathering processes can increase the designation of plastic materials causing them to become microscopic. Common locations where scientists are discovering mass quantities

power which the world is witnessing in the region has given rise to three main contenders India, China and US. Having seen the geopolitics, the economic arena and the maritime security environment it is imperative on us to carry out a systematic in depth analysis of the strategic interests of India and China with specific focus on the views of each other’s policy in the region so as to arrive at a strategic conclusion. 37. Before moving ahead it is important to note that Indian Ocean is in our backyard

Case Study Brazil gains the most of their ocean fishier-yields from the southernmost subtropical shelf. The shelf has seasonal currents of nutrient filled ocean water and yields more fish than other areas due the other surrounding waters being lower in nutrients. In 2009, Brazil produced less than one percent of the world’s production of fish at 585 thousand tons of fish per year (Brandini, 2013). Even with the low nutrient filled waters, Brazil boasts coasts with diverse ecosystems due to the length

Introduction Beginning in the 15th century, European explorers crossed the Atlantic Ocean and conquered almost all of the New World. Mexico, the Caribbean islands, and South America all became part of a vast area of European colonies known as Latin America. The British, French, Dutch, and Portuguese all had territory in this region, but the most notable conquistadors were the Spanish. New Spain included most of the Caribbean islands, Mexico, almost all of Central America, and the entire western coast

And suddenly, I was there… alone, in the middle of a serene ocean. The last thing I remember was me, leaving a foreign country which I still don’t know the name. I was in a rectangular and modest boat and the water seemed molten silver before my eyes, so infinite, and I felt so small… I could notice the reflection of the sun flaming, burning my pupils. The tide began to turn tanned and I felt immune and indifferent to the world, the water could swallow me but I was fine with the idea… The sea’s

The ocean is 70% of the earth's surface. There are 5 ocean biomes in the world. The ocean is made up of salt water. The seaweed is the producer. The penguin is a carnivore and the penguin eats or gains the energy from the squid. The elephant seal is a carnivore and also eats and gains the energy from the squid. The squid is a carnivore and gains the energy from the crab. The crab gains the energy from the seaweed and the crab is an omnivore.The crab also eats seaweed.Algae is also in this ecosystem

It’s “the worst ocean on the globe.” (82) It can be truly terrifying. Drake’s Passage is an 800 kilometer wide gap located between the tip of South America (Cape Horn) and the islands at the end of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is the shortest crossing between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Once key aspect about Drake’s Passage is that “There is no significant land anywhere around the world at the latitudes of Drake Passage.” This means that there is nothing to stop or slow down the movement of

i. Abstract Numerous extinct spreading centres are found within the world’s ocean basins and these record instances of spreading cessation or migration that provide valuable insights into the mechanism of heat-loss from the mantle and plate tectonic behaviour. This study presents the first comprehensive review of all reported extinct ridges and investigates their characteristics and regional distribution and frequency of occurrence over the last ~170 Myr as recorded in present-day preserved oceanic

aquatic ecosystem, but what would happen in the world’s ocean without those sharks? The depopulation of sharks is increasing dramatically due to human impacts. If this continues, it will negatively impact all aspects of ocean life and environment (Ferretti et al, 2010). The depopulation of a creature so high on the aquatic food chain can lead to the overpopulation of other organisms, which causes a domino effect on all creatures in the ocean. This could either rapidly increase or decrease their population

Purpose To study the effects of Ocean Acidification on some of the world’s sea life. Aim – An explanation of what the experiment requires you to do. Variables I will change the Acid Concentration in Molars (independent variable). I will measure the change in mass in grams (dependent variable). Other Variables are the Time that the oyster shell is in the Hydrochloric Acid and also the original mass of the oyster shells. Hypothesis – An explanation of what you believe the outcomes of the experiment
