World Ocean

The Way of the Ocean Ry Cox 11/17/15 Ocean currents are a very big part of the world’s oceans. Ocean currents move water, circulating around the globe pushing warm and cold water all around. These ocean currents are driven by the rise and fall of tides, wind, the sun, energy, surface currents, and subsurface currents. But how does the temperature of the ocean currents affect the ocean? All of these make up ocean currents and help it affect the climate system. Ocean currents also affect

The ocean has shaped our earth for thousands of years. The waves shape the physical land and shorelines. The water absorbs heat and regulates temperatures. It houses many difference species of life and provides food and industry to millions. The ocean even changes our atmosphere as it absorbs CO², among other gases and emits Oxygen. Even the ocean’s crust slowly increases the diameter of the earth as it grows. Much of the ocean is still unexplored, meaning there is still much to learn and discover

Eck Ocean Climate Change Issues When I think about the effects for global warming I think the idea that most people think about is what its doing to the climate. Not the other issues at hand, whether it be the melting of the ice caps or how it affects ecosystems. An important issue that I think really matters that other people don’t understand is what affect does climate change have on the oceans. The world is covered in about 70% water and climate change must have a large impact on the ocean in

The ocean covers 70% of the whole world! And still only 5% has been discovered. Scientists have been trying many different ways to try to discover more of the ocean, but have trouble getting to the bottom. Join us to discover more of the ocean, and learn about creatures you didn’t even know existed. As a lot of people know only 5% of the whole entire ocean has been discovered, and the ocean covers more than 70% of the world! Many creatures have been discovered as we unlock more and more secrets

Titanic there are many items laying at the bottom of the ocean, and floating in the ocean causing it to be polluted. Some substances end up in the big bodies of water by accident but more times than not it is a purposeful act done by people. However it may get there is leads to ocean pollution; which, is an issue that the world has dealt with for many years. The origin of ocean pollution is widespread, one of the largest causes is unregulated ocean dumping. Having harsher enforcement, and regulation of

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

an adventurous mind, and a love for the ocean and the animals that live in it. Marine biologists study the behaviors and habitats of marine life in oceans all over the world. Being a marine biologist may be difficult for people with a phobia of the ocean or dangerous animals that live in it, but with the right education and love for the ocean and marine animals, marine biology is a fascinating and adventurous job for someone with a passion for the ocean. The key to being successful in marine biology

of the ocean are saltier than others. This salt comes from the rocks on land. The rain that falls on the land involves dissolved carbon dioxide from the surrounding air. This then makes the rainwater to be slightly acidic due to carbonic acid. As the rain wears away the rock, acids in the rainwater begin to disintegrate the rock. This process creates ions, or electrically charged atomic particles. These ions are then carried away in runoff to rivers and streams and, eventually, to the ocean. A Lot

Introduction: Oceans cover approximately 75% of Earth 's surface and are vital to this planet and the people who inhabit it. Oceans provide food, natural resources, and recreation for nearly everyone in this world. Unfortunately Oceans have been receiving mass amount of pollutants including oil spills, toxic waste dumping, and industrial dumping. These pollutants will have negative impacts on the wildlife in the ocean, as we are seeing already with the Coral Reefs, and soon enough it will begin

The world has been industrializing for over a century, leading to better lives for people everywhere. Unfortunately, industrialization often results in an overuse of resources that can often have unintended consequences. In today’s world, industrialization of the fishing industry has led to a rapid decline in many fish species. This is due to a number of factors, ranging from changing ocean temperatures, acidification and degradation of many natural habitats fish depend on, to poor measurement of
