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

TATA NANO- A BLUE OCEAN | December 10 2010 | | Background Between 1970 and 1984 cars were considered a luxury product; manufacturing was licensed‚ manufacturing was restricted; there were quantitative restrictions on import and a tariff structure designed to restrict the market. The market was dominated by 6 manufacturers - Telco (now Tata motors)‚ Ashok Leyland‚ Mahindra & Mahindra‚ Hindustan motors‚ Premier automobiles and Bajaj auto. The decade of 1985 to 1995 saw the entry

your phone or laptop and you see a picture of the ocean. Most of these pictures show clear and pretty water with maybe a sunset behind it. Not all parts of the sea appear this way‚ however they should be. Pollution is everywhere in the water and it’s harming almost everything in it- from coral reefs to whales. But polluting the water just might be even more complex than you may think. So‚ to get you started‚ we will hit some of the basics of ocean pollution. You most likely know that plastic is a

“Ocean Avenue”- Yellowcard “If I could find you now things would get better” In chapter one Gatsby keeps looking across the sound at the green light in the front of Daisy’s house. He is wistfully thinking about being with Daisy as he looks at the green light. Just from reading the chapter I can inference that the green light indicates Gatsby’s dream of having Daisy. In this song the boy talks about how if he was with his love” things would get better”. Both Gatsby and the boy in the song have the

The oceans are one of the most sacred places on this earth‚ the last mysterious frontier left. They hold millions of different marine animals‚ and many more that are waiting to be discovered. However‚ the wide blue waters are beginning to fade fast. Recently‚ a new pollutant has been exposed‚ carbon dioxide‚ is causing this acidification. Ocean acidification is when the saltwater absorbs enough carbon dioxide from the atmosphere that it changes the pH of the water. This is what is happening

Ocean Pollution It is believed that 4.6 billion years ago our Earth was formed. And over 200 million years ago the great body of water on this planet‚ what we call the ocean‚ was able to be formed (History of the Ocean). For 200 million years our ocean has flourished with the life of all matters of creatures from some of the first ever cells to take life‚ to pre-historic dinosaurs‚ to the fish‚ plants‚ and mammals we see today. However‚ today we face a new point in the history of our ocean. Today

Stacy Servoss Ms. Hines Eng. 090-D01 15 July‚ 2013 The Effects the Moon Has On the Ocean Tide The moon’s gravity affects tides on the earth. The sun and moon together pull on the earth’s oceans in different directions to create tides. But there are several other factors that complicate this process. Friction is the earth’s rotation and axis tilt on the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth. This forces push on the earth’s atmosphere‚ creating high tides and low tides. The gravity

Discussion Section-1 November 17‚ 2011 The other CO₂ Problem Todays oceans are not the same as they once were prior to the industrial revolution. The ocean serves as a reservoir for the worlds green house gasses. The increase in anthropogenic CO₂ has also resulted in an increase in the uptake by the ocean of CO₂. As a result of this uptake‚ the ocean is becoming progressively more and more acidic. This acidification of the ocean is expected to have great impacts on marine ecosystems. Coral reefs

Have you ever thought about how ocean acidification affects organisms that live in the ocean‚ or even what ocean acidification is? First off‚ ocean acidification is a term used to describe significant changes to the chemistry of the ocean. This happens when carbon dioxide is absorbed by the ocean and reacts with seawater to produce acid. Ocean acidification affects many organisms’ homes and shelters. It also destroys many reef ecosystems. Ocean acidification is a bad thing. It’s bad because it

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
