Article on Natural environment Natural environment The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof. It is an environment that encompasses the interaction of all living specie. The concept of the natural environment can be distinguished by components: Complete ecological units that function as natural systems without massive human intervention‚ including all vegetation‚ microorganisms‚ soil‚ rocks‚ atmosphere and natural phenomena

in water. The Oceans are so massive‚ scientist have only had the opportunity to explore a significantly small portion of it. However‚ the small portion recorded has discovered over 2 million species of marine animals. That is not including the fractions of the animals that live in the unexplored ocean’s floors and surfaces (Science Daily‚ 2011). Besides the fact that there are many more wonders of the oceans to be discovered‚ the impacts that humans have had on the explored oceans have been significant

branch of Earth science that studies the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics‚ including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents‚ waves‚ and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to further knowledge of the world ocean and understanding of processes within it:

Sailing on the beautiful shiny blue ocean is relaxing. The sun is shining so bright that the water requies. Sailing is one sport that can be considered a holistic endeavor of athleticism blended with the natural elements of life. One can be taken to another mental dimension if you allow your mind to escape to the beauty of the water‚ the warmth of the sun‚ and the wind. You can escape in the flow of the waves‚ the subtleness of the fresh air whisking across your face and listening to the wind catch

There are deeper and lighter shades of blue like an ocean. The part of the picture that pops out is a body of things moving through the water of many colors‚ almost like a school of fish. There are colors present like pink‚ green‚ yellow‚ etc. In the picture’s background‚ there is a scenic ocean set up. There is a big pink coral present‚ along with

Video Reflection 11/15 We all know the ocean to be a vast place teeming with countless species of life. Yet we often forget that there are patches of the ocean that are not swarming with such life. These “marine deserts” are some of the least lively waters of the ocean which stems from shifting ocean currents that devoid regions of plankton; the base of the oceanic food chain. Yet‚ these same waters are home to some of the most notorious marine predators. The striped marlin‚ for example‚ are daylight

theory that life may be present in Europa has gained momentum. Despite the physical discrepancies‚ the oceans of Europa are very similar to our own oceans. How did scientists come to that conclusion? This is due to discoveries made by deep sea submersibles in the last 60 years. Researchers have found that life can exist that depend on a source of energy other than the sun. Here‚ deep in the oceans where the pressure is so great and there is no sunlight‚ life flourishes. Europa is frozen with an icy

Winds – The single biggest factor in the creation of surface currents is the wind. The surface of the water is generally smooth and calm‚ when strong winds move across the water the surface moves. The winds most often associated with the creation of ocean currents are the Westerlies‚ which blow west to east and the Trade Winds‚ which blow east to west. Salinity – The higher the salinity of the water the more dense it becomes. With a high level of salinity the water will sink. This starts a convention

Water Resource Plan: Declining Fish Stock According to National Geographic News only 10% of the big fish in the ocean are left (2003). Many fishermen disagree with this figure and say their fishing hauls have not been affected. Environmentalists say that if something is not done to halt the mass fishing industry many species will become extinct. Fishermen say that if their industry is halted in any way it will affect jobs and the communities that depend on the fishing industry
