most notable sight is the ocean‚ which is miles and miles of clear blue water. Attached to the water was smoothe white sand‚ filled with petite seashells. The sky is cloudless and blue. Bright rays are always shining from the flourescent sun‚ making it the perfect place to sun bathe. There is always a gentle breeze blowing the palm trees and Marram grass. Families stay on the beach all day swimming in the ocean or playing a variety of beach activities. The sounds of the ocean are very comforting; the

The sun was glistening on the ocean as I glided in. Thinking to myself that this was the best vacation a fourth grader could have‚ I observed the ripples as I inhaled the sweet scent of the refreshing water. Boogie board in hand‚ I swam out farther to catch a wave. Soon‚ when I had not been paying attention‚ I realized I had gone out too far. That moment was the first most panic stricken I’d ever been. Noticing the splashes of the waves more than anything‚ I never became fully aware about how far

Discussion Questions for Seaworthy In returning to the ocean‚ Linda Greenlaw faces great risks as well as the potential for great rewards. Why did she decide to go back to swordfishing? Did her obligations to other people‚ such as Sarai or Simon‚ influence her plans? Should they? According to Greenlaw‚ being at sea is like living in a bubble‚ completely disconnected from the rest of the world. What are the benefits and drawbacks of this kind of solitude? “Home is a feeling‚ more than a residence

The Ocean matters. The coral reef is a home to more than 3‚000 species of fish‚ 700 species of hard coral and around 100 other species. Scientists say that there could be 1-8 million undercovered species. If not protected all these species have nowhere to go and the undiscovered species will likely not be discovered. We cannot let these species die a whole ecosystem will be lost. Ocean Conservancy was created in 1972‚ they offer 2‚300‚000 jobs to people. Over the 25 years the organization was

I have seen the movie Finding Nemo a million times‚ or it seems like it anyway! I always loved the scene where Marlin and Dory play the game with the “jellies”. There were so many of them that they couldn’t even see the ocean anymore. Are jellyfish ruining the Earth’s ecosystem with over population? Some people‚ especially fisherman‚ are concerned that this is true‚ but we need to continue to investigate these mysterious creatures to figure out solutions to this potential problem. For most beachgoers

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

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
Premium Global warming Climate change Carbon dioxide
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

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
