This research project investigates how the pH of ocean water affects the mass of the shells of sea organisms. People who might benefit from this project are Oceanographers and Fisheries. The resources used included an article from the website Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History‚ called “Ocean Acidification” by Jennifer Bennett‚ an interview with Dr. Andrew Dickson‚ a professor of marine chemistry at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography‚ University of California‚ San Diego‚ and an

Why is the Pacific Ocean unsafe? In 2011‚ Japan suffered a major travesty due to the 9.0 magnitude earthquake‚ and tsunami that followed soon after. However‚ during that earthquake and tsunami‚ a nuclear power plant known as Fukushima Daichii was hit‚ and exposed to the community. Being exposed to a nuclear power plant is extremely harmful because of the symptoms that may occur from it‚ due to radiation. According to the 2013 edition of the Encyclopedia‚ radiation is a‚ “flow of atomic and subatomic

Plastic in the Ocean More than 200 animal species are dying everyday because they are consuming plastic in the ocean. This paper will discuss the environmental issue of polluted oceans‚ the causes‚ and possible solutions. The current environmental issue is littering in the ocean. Everyday hundreds‚ thousands‚ and even millions of trash is dumped into the ocean. Hundreds of marine species eat large amounts of plastic debris. “Yet the question is why so many species from the tiniest zooplankton to

deep ocean The oceans cover 75% of the world’s surface and contain 97% of its water; 90% of the seas lie beyond the shallow continental margins‚ and most are deeper than 2km. With the advent of modern science we have been able to discover what some of the deep ocean is like but there is still a vast area that remains unexplored. One thing we do know is that life at these depths is dominated by animals‚ not plants

dumping trash in our ocean. Is not only going to affect us but also can kill animals and rare species that live in the sea. Without a clean ocean‚ our life’s can be in danger since we need water. The ocean is the most important thing in this planet so let’s keep it clean and alive. The Ocean is the most beautiful thing on this planet which hold many animals and creatures. But in this world‚ the ocean is disrespected in so many ways which are also killing animals in the ocean. In this Ad‚ it shows

Ocean Acidification The main theme of the 3 articles is that the ocean is becoming more acidic due to fossil-fuel emission of CO2. The ocean has absorbed about 525 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ this reduces the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere (1). ). It is lowering the pH by .1 units changing it from 8.2 to 8.1… it is becoming more acidic. (2). It happens when the CO2 from the air mixes with the sea water‚ it produces a bicarbonate ion. This bicarbonate ion then

Ocean Noise Pollution For millions of years‚ the oceans have been filled with sounds from natural sources such as the squeaks‚ moans and clicks of whales and dolphins‚ the snapping of shrimp‚ the sound caused by wind upon the surface and even the occasional rumble from earthquakes. Over millions of years‚ the ocean’s marine species have developed into what they are today‚ with their own specialized acute hearing abilities‚ communication skills and echo location abilities at natural sound levels
