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

Thermohaline Ocean Circulation #1- What is The Thermohaline Ocean Circulation concept? The Thermohaline Ocean Circulation is when the circulation of the ocean is caused by heat and freshwater in the sea’s surface. This causes the mixing of heat and salt in the ocean. Thermo is temperature and haline is salt. Temperature and salt are the two factors that determine the sea’s density. The circulation causes differences in seawater density. The circulation also causes warm water from the southern hemisphere
