Beginning in the southeastern Vic city of Torquay and stretching a full 244 kilometres to the city of Allansford near Warrnambool, lies what has been labeled by many as the greatest example of scenic coastal road engineering that exists: The Great Ocean Road (TGOR).…
7. Which two scientists proposed seafloor spreading? Which scientist’s proposal was confirmed by direct observations of the seafloor with submersibles?…
I examine how rising or falling tide can affect the water level of Corte Madera Salt Marsh in this report. The data is from Wednesday (June 19th) and Thursday (June 20th). My hypothesis is that tide and water level have positive relationship. From the result, I learn that the water level and tide have positive relationship. However, when tide changes its direction, the water level is likely to stay or little change.…
The Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica. It is Earth’s fourth largest ocean. Ice covers some of its surface all year.…

A constant theme in the United States in the legal system is that criminals should be punished and the reasons for their crimes are rarely addressed. The Ocean Tides program is an innovative system rather than punishing juveniles it is an approach that hopes to rehabilitate adjudicated boys in Rhode Island within a year. Typically the more severe a crime is, the longer the criminal is sent away for. At the Ocean Tides program, 1 year is retrospectively the time that is used to help criminals readjust so once they complete the program their behavior will be better. The history of things begins on a dark road and that is people seek change, which for the juvenile system ultimately began in 1961.…
The Continental drift was the process in which the Earth’s land surfaces ( at the time known as the pangea) started slowly breaking apart and drifting away. This has continued until the continents were in the places we know them to be today. This drift has caused the formation of separate oceans instead of one huge one. This drift still continues today.…
d. The water itself doesn’t travel the whole distance, but the waveform does. As the wave travels, the water passes the energy along by moving in a circle called circular orbital motion.…
Cape Hatteras, or the Outer Banks of North Carolina, is a popular spot that is slowly disappearing. According to Nps.gov, The banks are being washed away by erosion, which is causing housing developments to diminish. Erosion is a process where natural forces like water, wind, ice, and gravity wear away rocks and soil. As of now it looks like the Outer Banks will be gone soon enough.…
Antarctica consists of mostly frozen ice particles and may very well vary huge chunks of ice burgs. Sea ice keeps the Polar Regions levelheaded and helps adequate global climate. Sea ice has a bright surface; that contains eighty percent of the sunlight that strikes it is revealed back into space. As sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface. Instead of reflecting eighty percent of the sunlight, the ocean only absorbs ninety percent of the sunlight. The oceans eventually heat up, and the temperatures rise further.…
The social and Economic transformations that occurred in the Atlantic world as a result of new contacts among Western Europe, Africa, and the Americas from 1492 to 1750 increased and decreased populations of the Atlantic world due to the slave trade and flourishing economy. Also in the Americas, European colonists stopped mining for silver, and moved on to agriculture. Due to the new contacts within the Atlantic world, economies flourished as new crops and food spread around. The sole reason for the spread of such goods was due to the triangular trade system and the slave trade systems, in which Europeans carried voyages over the three continents of Europe, Africa, and the Americas.…
It is believed that 4.6 billion years ago our Earth was formed. And over 200 million years ago the great body of water on this planet, what we call the ocean, was able to be formed (History of the Ocean). For 200 million years our ocean has flourished with the life of all matters of creatures from some of the first ever cells to take life, to pre-historic dinosaurs, to the fish, plants, and mammals we see today. However, today we face a new point in the history of our ocean. Today we face the potential destruction of our beloved body of water.…
Last Tuesday, we took a trip to Huntington Beach and observed the ocean, sand, waves, tides, life on shore, wind, currents, sea bedding, sediments, and the fully developed sea. It was around 4 PM when we arrived at the beach, and it was about 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The coastline of the shore is a curve that faces southwest. Winds are disturbing forces that move the waves, and they generate every time there is a density boundary. The cool winds were coming very strong from the West at 251° that it wasn’t a good day to surf at the beach. The waves are movement of energy, and the waves were about 4-6 feet high, but with such hazardous wind conditions, nobody was surfing. If they were to try to surf, the top of the wave would topple over because of the decrease in wave speed and wind.…

It was already 72 degrees when Astrid Young pulled into the parking lot at the Western Oceanography Institute (WOI). The radio announcer was reminding listeners to leave out extra water for their pets because the temperature was going to be in the high 90s for the third straight day. Young made a mental note to call her husband, Jon, when she got to her office and make sure that he left plenty of water outside for their cat, Figaro. Young was three-quarters of the way through the Microsoft NT conversion project. Yesterday had been a disaster, and she was determined to get back on top of things.…
