Ocean Acidification and its Effects on Marine Butterflies and Coral Reefs For millions of years‚ Earth’s oceans have maintained a relatively stable acidity level. Research shows that a recent and rapid drop in surface pH that could have devastating global consequences through the unbalance the ocean’s acidity. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution in the early 1800s‚ fossil fuel-powered machines have created a burst of industry and machines. The consequence of this industrial revolution

Sea Pollution The pollution of the ocean is rapidly becoming a crucial problem on Earth. The major causes of sea pollution are oil spills‚ toxic waste‚ and dumping of other harmful materials into the ocean. This pollution will directly affect the living organisms in the ocean and indirectly affect human’s health and resources. We‚ as humans‚ should learn more about these in order to have the knowledge on how to solve this problem effectively. Oil spill is perhaps the most publicly acknowledged

Ocean pollution Hannah Waddell Ocean pollution is a growing problem and affects people as well. It is a growing problem that needs to be stopped and controlled immediately. Taking care of our water will be beneficial for our long-term survival. If we put off this problem any longer‚ the prices will only escalade even higher. We need water to survive and the ocean is one of the greatest water suppliers. The actions we take or do not take will affect the future in either a negative or a positive

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

“The acidification of the ocean today is bigger and faster than anything geologists can find in the fossil record over the past 65 million years” (Carl Zimmer). This is just an illustration regarding the tales of environmental degradation from carbon dioxide pollution in the ocean. The phenomenon of ocean acidification is imperative to understand; the reduction of essential pH levels over a protracted period of time is extremely harmful. In other words‚ ocean acidification can be measured by pH units
