Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth’s oceans‚ caused by carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ Seawater is slightly basic (meaning pH > 7)‚ and the process is a shift towards pH-neutral conditions rather than a transition to acidic conditions (pH < 7). Ocean alkalinity is not changed by the process‚ or may increase over long time periods due to carbonate dissolution. An estimated 30–40% of the carbon dioxide from human activity released into the atmosphere dissolves into

This research project investigates how the pH of ocean water affects the mass of the shells of sea organisms. People who might benefit from this project are Oceanographers and Fisheries. The resources used included an article from the website Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History‚ called “Ocean Acidification” by Jennifer Bennett‚ an interview with Dr. Andrew Dickson‚ a professor of marine chemistry at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography‚ University of California‚ San Diego‚ and an

Why is the Pacific Ocean unsafe? In 2011‚ Japan suffered a major travesty due to the 9.0 magnitude earthquake‚ and tsunami that followed soon after. However‚ during that earthquake and tsunami‚ a nuclear power plant known as Fukushima Daichii was hit‚ and exposed to the community. Being exposed to a nuclear power plant is extremely harmful because of the symptoms that may occur from it‚ due to radiation. According to the 2013 edition of the Encyclopedia‚ radiation is a‚ “flow of atomic and subatomic

Plastic in the Ocean More than 200 animal species are dying everyday because they are consuming plastic in the ocean. This paper will discuss the environmental issue of polluted oceans‚ the causes‚ and possible solutions. The current environmental issue is littering in the ocean. Everyday hundreds‚ thousands‚ and even millions of trash is dumped into the ocean. Hundreds of marine species eat large amounts of plastic debris. “Yet the question is why so many species from the tiniest zooplankton to

trying to answer many unclear questions about ocean garbage and just how badly it’s affecting the ocean and marine life. Rochman believes that a lot of the supposed “threats” that scientists say ocean garbage pose had not been tested at all‚ and that the scientists had an insufficient amount of information to prove that the debris is doing or going to do exactly what they claim. Rochman and her colleagues studied over a hundred papers on the subject of ocean garbage and it’s effects. Eighty-Three percent

Thermohaline Ocean Circulation #1- What is The Thermohaline Ocean Circulation concept? The Thermohaline Ocean Circulation is when the circulation of the ocean is caused by heat and freshwater in the sea’s surface. This causes the mixing of heat and salt in the ocean. Thermo is temperature and haline is salt. Temperature and salt are the two factors that determine the sea’s density. The circulation causes differences in seawater density. The circulation also causes warm water from the southern hemisphere
