Ryan Yates Oceanography 11-12-11 Homework #5 Lesson 17 1) Dredging is digging up mud/sand and transporting it out of the channel. Dredging needs to be done in Ventura Marina because of the shoaling problem. With this problem there is sediment rising under water where the ships are parked. If the sediment gets too high‚ the boats will get stuck and not be able to get in and out of the marina. 2) The problem with Devil’s Slide in San Mateo County is that it has a lock of landslides

Oceanography 11/29/12 The Great Pacific Garbage Patch The North Pacific Ocean is home to the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. This gyre is created by the North Pacific Current‚ the California Current‚ the North Equatorial Current‚ and the Kuroshio Current‚ all rotating clockwise throughout the northern hemisphere. It expands over the Pacific from the North Pole to the Equator and from California to Eastern Asia. The NPSG currents create the largest ecosystem on Earth‚ but they have also created

Usually they include geology‚ geophysics‚ meteorology‚ climatology‚ oceanography‚ hydrology‚ biogeography‚ zoogeography‚ astronomy‚ and astrophysics. Some aspects of these subjects are covered in courses taught in junior high school and high school so that they will know the contributions of different scientists. Geology

| Desalinization of Water | | | Sara Reed‚ Myp2 | | Chemistry | | * Our world consists of 70% of water‚ from which‚ only 2.5% is fresh water‚ and 1% is drinkable water. Because of this low drinkable water rate‚ desalinization is a very important process which will help us provide a higher percentage rate. * Desalination is a process in which salt water is turned into fresh water‚ by extracting its water and minerals. Desalination is used on many ships and submarines

LAKE A lake is a body of relatively still water of considerable size‚ localized in a basin‚ that is surrounded by land apart from a river‚ stream‚ or other form of moving water that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes are inland and not part of the ocean and therefore are distinct from lagoons‚ and are larger and deeper thanponds.[1][2] Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams‚ which are usually flowing. However most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams.Natural lakes are generally

negatives effects of the global warming. Under such circumstances‚ we should look for the possible solutions of the whole case. The same idea has been once expressed by Scientist Richard Somerville who was engaged in the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The scientist believes that there is a way out of the problem. A whole thing is helpful in reducing the emission of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) into the atmosphere. One of the possible approaches to the whole issue is capturing of the CO2. After the
