Tsunamis A tsunami is a series of waves created when a body of water‚ such as an ocean‚ is rapidly displaced on a massive scale. Earthquakes‚ mass movements above or below water‚ volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions‚ landslides‚ large meteorite impacts and testing with nuclear weapons at sea all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami can range from unnoticeable to devastating. The term tsunami comes from the Japanese words(津波、つなみ) meaning harbor ("tsu"‚

organisms die a year because of the ocean temperatures rising? One reason the ocean temperature surges is because of the greenhouse gas. As greenhouse gas (a gas from the greenhouse effect that benefits by absorbing carbon dioxide‚ chlorofluorocarbons‚ and infrared radiation; different kinds of elements and gases) collects together and increases‚ it traps more heat energy into the Earth‚ and making the temperature rise. Another way this is caused is when the warmer ocean water makes movement‚ it changes

The theory is an increasing amount of carbon dioxide in the oceans maybe causing harm to several different sea organisms from huge coral reefs to microscopic plankton. Without human interaction‚ our oceans may be put into jeopardy. This could potentially leave the planet with catastrophic irreversible damage that will last for thousands

overuse our ocean resources? It is possible to overuse our ocean resources. We can drill and use an excessive amount of oil from the bottom of the ocean. This resource is made up of dead fish and other creatures that sink to the ocean floor and as sediment builds up the dead animal remains decompose and heat up to form the oil and natural gas. This can take up to thousands of years to form and if humans use too much oil we will have to wait another thousand years to use the oil the ocean provides us
