Stacy Servoss Ms. Hines Eng. 090-D01 15 July‚ 2013 The Effects the Moon Has On the Ocean Tide The moon’s gravity affects tides on the earth. The sun and moon together pull on the earth’s oceans in different directions to create tides. But there are several other factors that complicate this process. Friction is the earth’s rotation and axis tilt on the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth. This forces push on the earth’s atmosphere‚ creating high tides and low tides. The gravity

Whales are the largest marine mammal in the world‚ living in all of the major oceans from the Arctic and Antarctic oceans to the tropical waters around the world. Human whaling is to hunt and kill whales for the use of their meat‚ oil and blubber. It is estimated that three million whales were killed in the twentieth century alone. According to the survey‚ there are only 10‚000 - 20‚000 whales surviving in the oceans today. Rapidly decreasing number of whales has affected the ocean’s ecosystem.

Ocean OverfishingNicole HarrisENV/320June 23‚ 2014Frederick GrossOcean Overfishing Overfishing is a problem that occurs when fish are caught faster than they can reproduce. This is a problem that has been occurring for centuries and continues to be a problem today. Commercial fishing has driven many fish species to the brink of extinction. A scientific report done in 2003 estimates that industrial fishing “has reduced the number of large ocean fish to just 10-percent of their pre-industrial

wonderful is it to stand on pearly sands watching the pure blue sky‚ so lonely without a cloud or a plane or even a bird fluttering across it and as you admire it‚ the sun’s ray’s beams down at you.

Conclusion The chemical changes in ocean acidification is known to be caused by an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere‚ resulting in the lowering of the pH making water more acidic‚ an increase in dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ a reduction in the concentration of carbonate ions and an increase in bicarbonate ions. The oceans are currently taking up about one ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) associated with human activities per year. Almost half of the carbon dioxide

deep ocean The oceans cover 75% of the world’s surface and contain 97% of its water; 90% of the seas lie beyond the shallow continental margins‚ and most are deeper than 2km. With the advent of modern science we have been able to discover what some of the deep ocean is like but there is still a vast area that remains unexplored. One thing we do know is that life at these depths is dominated by animals‚ not plants
