SALINITY AND DEEP OCEAN CURRENTS OVERVIEW Ocean currents arise in many different ways. For example‚ wind pushes the water along the surface to form wind-driven currents. Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in water temperature and salinity. In this experiment‚ the students will hypothesize the cause of ocean currents and then develop a model to explain the role of salinity and density in deep ocean currents. CONCEPTS Salt water is more dense than fresh water‚ and is therefore

Despite a difference of seventy years and the distance of the Atlantic Ocean‚ Rabbit‚ Run by John Updike and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde present striking similarities in their characters and themes. While I initially could not draw the connections between the two novels‚ I now recognize the many ways in which the authors criticize and analyzed their own environments through their works. I believe that the lessons on the dangers of societal influence and the nature of ethics that Rabbit

Effects of Ocean Warming Around the World Global warming has become a very hot topic in recent years with the increasing global climate and amount of greenhouse gasses. A little known fact‚ however‚ is that about 84% of the total heating of the Earth over the last 40 years has gone into warming the oceans. This warming of the ocean is having widespread effects from loss of biodiversity to the increasing number of tropical cyclones. Even changes of less than 5°C are having effects seen around the

Road‚ once a popular trade route‚ slowly was overshadowed by the growing Indian Ocean trade. The Indian Ocean trade route was more efficient‚ easier to travel‚ and much faster. Meanwhile the Silk Road became less traveled because of its harsh geography‚ the spread of disease‚ and the fall of the empires that supported the trade. Differences in geography caused the Silk Road to decline and expanded the Indian Ocean trade. Both routes experienced different kinds of difficulties. The Silk Road‚ which

The Ocean By Jacob Lee “…Subject GS00949 in position. Vitals conducive. Should be any minute now...” “HELP! PLEASE‚ SOMEONE HELP ME!” his hoarse voice splintered with emotion as it cut through the stillness of the Georgia swamp for the last time. Five hours of wrestling with his fate had only strengthened the vice-grip that was squeezing his life away and now it seemed all he could do was wait. He raised his head and watched as the tip of the butt from his daddy’s Winchester 1892 sunk out
