or Fabrication Thousands of coastal cities and even whole islands are at risk of being claimed by the ocean due to sea levels worldwide rising at a rate of 0.14 inches per year since the early 1990s (Sea). This increase in sea levels is generated by global warming. Global warming‚ also known as climate change‚ is a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and oceans‚ that could have a permanent and devastating effect on the world (Global). It has existed ever since the

Martin and the Hand Grenade by John Foulcher‚ a range of complex ideas and techniques are used to create an atmosphere of inner conflict‚ and physical conflicts that can arise as a result.

Eelgrass (zostera) is a very important plant in the Pacific ocean. It helps sustain many life forms and protects growing organisms through the change of tides (Tyler-Walters‚ H. 2007) These thin blades of grass are vital to have a complete ecosystem in Puget Sound. Right now they are being damaged by pollution‚ anchors

Our planet is fatter in the middle and the spin is one of the forces that keep water in place on top of the Equator. If that force weakens‚ the ocean will begin to move to the poles. Millions of cubic kilometers of ocean will be moving‚ which will raise the sea levels‚ flooding cities and draining other. If sea levels rise‚ the air we breathe

of the Earth’s Oceans? -The relationship between continental drift and the formation of the Earth’s Oceans stems from plate movement that occurred on Earth. There is a theory that all the continents were once all one big piece of land named Pangaea‚ and over millions and millions of years the land of Pangaea started to split apart into many different continents. It divided Panthalassa‚ the large global ocean that surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea‚ into many different oceans instead of just
