The ocean is one of Earth’s most valuable natural resources. It provides food in the form of fish and shellfish—about 200 billion pounds are caught each year.

that comes along with this aspect of climate change. So what causes the ocean to continue rising? Two answers that seem to stand out are polar ice melting‚ therefore increasing the amount of water in the oceans‚ and the sinking of ground sediment. The latter reason is not as well emphasized‚ but still remains a pressing issue that our civilization needs to come face to face with.

Ocean Waves A wave is a periodic disturbance in space and time‚ possibly transferring energy to or through a space-time region. Have you ever ridden a wave in the ocean? Ocean waves travel on the surface of the water. You can see them and you can feel them. As you swim through the water‚ you can even make your own waves. The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water‚ through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules
