The Pacific Ocean is the largest and the deepest ocean. Most submersible dives follow a similar pattern‚ emphasizing bottom transecting‚ collecting and photographing specimens. To understand our ocean floor exploration‚ you must first know something about the ocean floor. Follow along below as I summarize the parts of the ocean floor.

Summary and Response to Ocean Acidification Article The National Geographic article “Ocean Acidification; Carbon Dioxide is Putting Shelled Animals at Risk‚” argues that the drop in surface pH could have a devastating effect on not only the organisms living in the ocean‚ but the environment that surrounds us. Research has shown that at least half of the carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere has been absorbed by the oceans over time. This has benefited our environment because by
