Introduction The ocean has the oldest‚ most diverse‚ most numerous and least studied organisms on earth. It covers almost three fourths of our planet and has the potential to feed the world and supply cures for many diseases. Studying sea plants and animals is a challenge that is becoming easier due to advanced technologies such as deep-sea submersibles‚ sonar‚ lasers‚ videos‚ and satellites. In many cases‚ it ’s simply too hard to make a drug from scratch. The chemistry is too complicated. So

Ocean Acidification Climate change’s equally evil twin seems to be ocean acidification. 25 percent of the CO2 dissolves into the ocean instead of being in the air. When the industrial era started over 525 billion tons of CO2 were absorbed (22 million tons per day). Scientists at first thought that we were good because it warms the planet‚ but that’s not the case. The ocean is becoming more acidic than ever because of the CO2. 200 years later the water temperature increased by 30 percent. Rivers usually

When her points dwindle and she feels the tide lapping at her toes‚ she reaches out to me without hesitation‚ seeing as I have always been her anchored friend in the churning seas. The ocean is her condition and I am the captain of our seasoned warship‚ a stand in for our connection. She becomes stagnant as the waters rise‚ the calm before the storm. Dark clouds begin to fill the skies‚ completely obliterating the sun. In these moments

Introduction As of now the Earths ocean is home to over 230‚000 species of marine plants and animals. Today the oceans are at risk because of human activities. The main problem is climate change which leads to other problems within such as ocean acidification and pollution; these effects can all have an ever lasting impact on what’s in the ocean and what’s out. Paragraph 1: Climate Change (ocean acidification‚ CO2 ‚etc.) One of the main dangers of the oceans today is climate change and from

OCEAN ACIDIFICATION‚ NO RED HOAX - 22 million tons of carbon is dumped into the ocean - Making seawater more acidic - Affecting plant life and marine life - Doing horrors to our marine fishing community Donald Trump‚ our very own cheeto president‚ is claiming all these horrors we are doing to our environment is not only true‚ but a hoax made by the Chinese.

The scientific realm of ocean trash and its impact has been left horrifyingly untouched and is only now being taken up. Consequentially‚ we have been oblivious to the negative affects of this issue to the point where (1) the largest landfill on Earth is situated in the Pacific Ocean‚ known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Although we lack a proper understanding‚ it is still an enormous threat to our planet and to us as humans‚ a fact that we seem content to be ignorant of. Already‚ there are (2)

One thousand years of continuous raining caused oceans which made earth like it is today. Planet Earth‚ also known as the blue planet‚ has oceans covering three quarters of the Earth’s surface. Oceans have a system to try and keep the water temperatures even‚ whether or not the climate is the same. This is called the ‘Thermohaline Conveyer’. This is when water from the Tropics
