ecologically crucial habitats. The key process that has resulted in this extensive damage to coral reefs is termed ocean acidification‚ which is defined as the increase in oceanic acidity as a result of the uptake of atmospheric CO₂. Over the past 200 years‚ more than 30% of all CO₂ that has been emitted to the atmosphere as a result of anthropogenic activity has been absorbed by the oceans (Anthony et al. 2008). Such drastic changes in oceanic pH are having multiple adverse impacts upon coral reefs

most notable sight is the ocean‚ which is miles and miles of clear blue water. Attached to the water was smoothe white sand‚ filled with petite seashells. The sky is cloudless and blue. Bright rays are always shining from the flourescent sun‚ making it the perfect place to sun bathe. There is always a gentle breeze blowing the palm trees and Marram grass. Families stay on the beach all day swimming in the ocean or playing a variety of beach activities. The sounds of the ocean are very comforting; the

In 1915 the first edition of The Origin of Continents and Oceans‚ a book outlining the Continental Drift theory of Alfred Lothar Wegener‚ a German meteorologist‚ was published; expanded editions were published in 1920‚ 1922‚ and 1929. About 300 million years ago‚ claimed Wegener‚ the continents had formed a single mass‚ called Pangaea (from the Greek for "all the Earth"). Pangaea had split‚ and its pieces had been moving away from each other ever since. Wegener was not the first to suggest that the

welcoming my dispirited morning as any glimpse of faith is hushed by my heavy thoughts‚ which deeply desire to remain firmly rooted in my mascara stained pillow. A reminder of the all the endless nights I overfilled with enough tears to form an unsettling ocean. Nevertheless I remain dehydrated from pure happiness for eons. With my soul in a tangle‚ my hearts in a mess and most unfortunately my mind is scattered all over the place. ‘What if’s encircle me like a moat of regret‚ not for the choices I’ve acted

which the Earth’s land surfaces ( at the time known as the pangea) started slowly breaking apart and drifting away. This has continued until the continents were in the places we know them to be today. This drift has caused the formation of separate oceans instead of one huge one. This drift still continues today. Volcanoes affected the origins of the sea by pouring huge amounts of steam into the atmosphere. This would result in the process of condensation. The volcanoes would pour

We see stars on the television or in movies. We see stars amongst dark starry nights. We have all seen the obvious types of stars but have we ever stopped to think about the star in the ocean? Echinoderms or starfish also known as the “stars of the sea” are very interesting marine animals that breathe out of their pores‚ and are able to regenerate their own arms.

enhances the characters‚ words‚ places‚ and objects to levels that a average work could not reach without the use of symbolism. The more symbolism an author uses‚ the more attached a reader becomes to the story. Look at August Wilson ’s Gem Of the Ocean play. It is loaded with symbolism and has a deep meaning to the story. Every main character has something that symbolizes them. It shows the character ’s back rounds and what they have been through. For example Solly Two Kings has a piece of iron

The sun was glistening on the ocean as I glided in. Thinking to myself that this was the best vacation a fourth grader could have‚ I observed the ripples as I inhaled the sweet scent of the refreshing water. Boogie board in hand‚ I swam out farther to catch a wave. Soon‚ when I had not been paying attention‚ I realized I had gone out too far. That moment was the first most panic stricken I’d ever been. Noticing the splashes of the waves more than anything‚ I never became fully aware about how far
