When one thinks of very large bodies of water such as the ocean‚ we are talking about marine biomes. Instead of freshwater it contains saltwater. They also include the coral reefs and estuaries. The ocean biome is the largest of all of the worlds. Which makes sense considering that the majority of the world surface is made up of water. Due to

The Ocean Floor No one has ever walked the sea floor and few have even seen it. This is because of the extreme conditions found there. It is dark‚ and the temperature is close to freezing. A person standing on the sea floor would be under tremendous pressure from the overlaying water. The pressure is hundreds of times greater than the atmospheric pressure. Such a force would crush the human body. Using research submersibles which are specially designed to with stand the pressure of the water‚ scientists

Wind softly caressed my cheeks‚ sending strands of my hair dancing across the back of my neck‚ the roaring crash of the waves against the rocky shore attempted to distract me‚ and the salty scent of the sea crept through my nose. My concentration‚ however‚ never broke. It was as if all the elements of the nature surrounding me realized I wasn’t easily distracted. Everything stopped at once. In only a moment there was no longer any wind‚ no salty air‚ and no obnoxious sound. It all paused for a single

people don’t realize that the oceans are becoming more damaged? People don’t realize that the ocean is suffering from‚ pollution‚ overfishing‚ plastic‚ garbage‚ etc. Not a lot of people notice this is happening to the oceans. This is why we need to stand up and stop some of these things from damaging the earth’s oceans. The ocean is a place people enjoy traveling to every year‚ but most people don’t realize that the ocean and it’s wild-life is struggling. The ocean can no longer take the damage

Have you ever been in the ocean before? Have you ever felt it burning your skin? Ocean acidification is becoming a great problem in our world. Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease of the oceans pH levels due to lots of CO₂ entering the water from our atmosphere. 30-40% of the carbon dioxide from human activity released into the atmosphere goes into lakes‚ rivers‚ and oceans. This is causing the ocean to become more acidic. The ocean’s acidity has increased by around 30% since the industrial

your phone or laptop and you see a picture of the ocean. Most of these pictures show clear and pretty water with maybe a sunset behind it. Not all parts of the sea appear this way‚ however they should be. Pollution is everywhere in the water and it’s harming almost everything in it- from coral reefs to whales. But polluting the water just might be even more complex than you may think. So‚ to get you started‚ we will hit some of the basics of ocean pollution. You most likely know that plastic is a

CHAPTER 31 OCEAN CURRENTS TYPES AND CAUSES OF CURRENTS 3100. Definitions The movement of ocean water is one of the two principal sources of discrepancy between dead reckoned and actual positions of vessels. Water in motion is called a current; the direction toward which it moves is called set‚ and its speed is called drift. Modern shipping speeds have lessened the impact of currents on a typical voyage‚ and since electronic navigation allows continuous adjustment of course‚ there is less need to

The oceans are one of the most sacred places on this earth‚ the last mysterious frontier left. They hold millions of different marine animals‚ and many more that are waiting to be discovered. However‚ the wide blue waters are beginning to fade fast. Recently‚ a new pollutant has been exposed‚ carbon dioxide‚ is causing this acidification. Ocean acidification is when the saltwater absorbs enough carbon dioxide from the atmosphere that it changes the pH of the water. This is what is happening
