that have no water outlet such as the Great Salt Lake and the Dead Sea‚ comes from ions of dissolved minerals‚ mainly chloride and sodium which make up about 90% of salt ions in sea water. There are three main ways that dissolved minerals enter the ocean: The water cycle‚ underwater geysers know as Hydrothermal Vents‚ and underwater volcanos. During the water cycle‚ water is evaporated from bodies of water by the heat of the sun. The evaporated water rises through the atmosphere as a gas‚ or

Each is interesting in its own way. I have decided to narrow the marine biome down and focus on the Pacific Ocean. I am interested to see how these two compare and contrast. Although it may seem that our climate does not affect the marine biome‚ it does. During El Nino‚ the trade winds slacken and sometimes even change direction. This change in our climate affects the southern pacific ocean greatly. A big pocket of hot water moves from the eastern coast of Australia to the western coast of South

The vast ocean is filled with tides that come and go and waves that break in different parts of the ocean. It was like the water was dancing or showing a fit of anger daring a person to look

The ocean is a beautiful sanctuary not only for the animals that coexist within it‚ but also for people that spend more time in the water than on land. There are instances where the sea can represent a wide array of emotions such as respect‚ fear‚ and adventure. To me the ocean water is nothing less than a second home on the grounds that it reminds me so much of my home with emotions such as compatibility‚ fighting and peace coursing through the currents. Underwater life wouldn’t work without

[pic] Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean or other marine or brackish bodies of water. Given that in biology many phyla‚ families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land‚ marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy.

On the East Pacific Rise not far from the Galapagos Islands‚ nearly 8000 feet below the surface‚ was a strange landscape covered with what looked like underwater chimneys secreting clouds of black smoke. Surrounding these chimneys was a unique type of ecosystem that had never been seen before. Until this day‚ science had always assumed that all
