Ocean Park vs. Hong Kong Disneyland History about Ocean Park Officially opened on 10th Jan 1977 by the Governor of Hong Kong‚ Sir Murray MacLehose‚ the Ocean Park was constructed with HK$150million funded from the racing profits earned from the Hong Kong Jockey Club while the land was given free by the Hong Kong Government. It is located in Wong Chuk Hang and Nam Long Shan in the Southern District of Hong Kong. The park has won several awards‚ including The World ’s Seventh Most Popular Amusement

Ocean acidification is the continuous reduction of the ocean’s pH‚ carbonate ion concentration‚ and saturation states of biological calcium carbonate minerals. Ocean acidification is caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. According to “Ocean Acidification: The Other CO2 Problem‚” after the industrial revolution‚ carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere has increased nearly 40%‚ primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation (Doney S. 2009). The increase of

decrease) in salinity around the equator? Could it not be argued that higher temperature causes more evaporation from the ocean surface‚ which‚ in turn‚ results in higher salinity content? Figure 9.4 shows how the surface temperature of the ocean and the surface salinity change with latitudinal position. Salinity the measure of the concentration of dissolved salts in the ocean water. Salinity influences where plants and animals can thrive‚ and also affects aspects of water quality and treatment

Humans’ Moral Obligation to Preserve Endangered Species Many species that exists today are becoming endangered to extinction. In the past era where humans did not exist‚ extinction occurred due to natural causes. On this present time however‚ extinction of species are threatened by humans’ existence. Humans are the only moral agent; in which‚ it has the intellectual capacity that animals and plants do not have. Thus‚ humans are powerful and dominate over any species. Many practices that humans

Keeping oceans young and productive: - Upwelling and Downwelling Oceans cover two thirds of our planet thus they can be regarded as one of the major factors in shaping this blue marble in space. But oceans just don’t result in varying gradient of humidity that gives rise to different vegetations and ultimately widely different biomes when coupled with other factors such as differential exposure to solar radiation‚ and inherent soil type. Oceans are living systems that themselves support numerous

Conclusion The chemical changes in ocean acidification is known to be caused by an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere‚ resulting in the lowering of the pH making water more acidic‚ an increase in dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ a reduction in the concentration of carbonate ions and an increase in bicarbonate ions. The oceans are currently taking up about one ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) associated with human activities per year. Almost half of the carbon dioxide
