SALINITY AND DEEP OCEAN CURRENTS OVERVIEW Ocean currents arise in many different ways. For example‚ wind pushes the water along the surface to form wind-driven currents. Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in water temperature and salinity. In this experiment‚ the students will hypothesize the cause of ocean currents and then develop a model to explain the role of salinity and density in deep ocean currents. CONCEPTS Salt water is more dense than fresh water‚ and is therefore

its way to the world’s seas is classified as ocean pollution‚ however these materials built up over time. This process is known as bioaccumulation. There are many contributing pollutants to bioaccumulation in oceans such as toxins‚ marine debris‚ oil‚ sewage‚ eroded soil‚ and heavy metals. In the past‚ dumping small amounts of pollutants into the oceans‚ known as dilution‚ was not thought of to be a threat to the environment because all of the oceans combined cover 75% of the earths surface.

The Affects of Ocean Acidification on Marine Ecosystems Ocean acidification is the ongoing warming and decreasing of pH in the earths water supply (Gray et al. 2016; PMEL 2017). The acidification is caused from the increase in carbon dioxide concentration within the earths atmosphere. The carbon dioxide then reacts with the water to produce carbonic acid and carbonate ions thus‚ decreasing the pH. Ocean acidification affects the ecology of everything on this planet. Mainly‚ the marine ecosystems

With every drop of water‚ I drink‚ every breath I take‚ I am connected to the sea. How do plastic bags affect our ocean?
