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

In the article‚ “Oceans Are Losing Oxygen—and Becoming More Hostile to Life” by Craig Welch‚ climate change is affecting the lives of all kinds of sea creatures. This article explains how climate change‚ and the warming of ocean water‚ has began taking oxygen out of the water. This means that many fish species have shrunk because of this loss of oxygen. The warmer water speeds up the metabolism of these fish‚ which makes them breathe in more of the oxygen. A couple of scientists from the University

The ocean has captivated mankind since the beginning of time. The Challenger Expedition‚ the first modern oceanography expedition‚ only began in 1872(“History of Oceanography”). Why was it that we ignored ocean research for so long? We have only “dipped our toes in the water” (Cousteau 194) and many people are afraid of taking a dive. However‚ ocean exploration is most certainly worth the risks‚ as the benefits of ocean research far outweigh the risks. Just two benefits of ocean research include
