Introduction The ocean has the oldest‚ most diverse‚ most numerous and least studied organisms on earth. It covers almost three fourths of our planet and has the potential to feed the world and supply cures for many diseases. Studying sea plants and animals is a challenge that is becoming easier due to advanced technologies such as deep-sea submersibles‚ sonar‚ lasers‚ videos‚ and satellites. In many cases‚ it ’s simply too hard to make a drug from scratch. The chemistry is too complicated. So

Lakes: standing bodies of water range from ponds a few square meters in area to lakes covering thousands of square kilometers. Temperature lakes may have a seasonal thermocline; tropical lowland lakes have a thermocline year-round. Salinity‚ oxygen concentration‚ and nutrient content differ greatly among lakes and can vary with season. Wetlands: habitat that is inundates by water at least some of the time and that supports plants adapted to water-saturated soil. Some wetlands are inundated at all

The oceans have risen and fallen throughout Earth’s history‚ following the planet’s natural temperature cycle‚ and now we are in a new warming phase‚ where the oceans are rising again after thousands of years of stability. As long as we continue to power our global economy by burning fossil fuels that pollute the air with heat-trapping gases‚ we are contributing to the increase in global temperatures. Consequently‚ the ice sheets in places like Antarctica and Greenland are melting‚ thus causing the

Marine Mammal Trainer/Biologist Mikayla and I decided to interview Irene Gilgoff from the Pacific Marine Mammal Center. She is one of the most experienced employees there‚ being there for about fifteen years‚ marine animals are her life. The main parts of Irene’s job include working with the mammal’s hands on and taking care of them throughout the day. The Pacific Marine Mammal Center can be reached at (949) 494-3050 and is located at 20612 Laguna Canyon Road in Laguna Beach‚ California. Also

Section 1 Marine protected areas (MPA) refer to the zones in which human activity has been placed under some restrictions for protection and restoration of the natural environment‚ its surrounding waters and the occupant ecosystems‚ and any cultural or historical resources that may require preservation or management. They play a dominant role in protecting marine biodiversity‚ ecosystem function and sustaining healthy coastal communities. MPA is relevant to biodiversity and scale‚ legal and

Associate Level Material Oceans and Atmosphere Worksheet Using the assigned readings for Week Six‚ prepare a 50- to 75-word response to each of the following questions. The Oceans 1. What is the composition of seawater? The salinity of seawater ranges from 3.3 to 3.7%. When seawater evaporates it leaves behind sodium chloride‚ better known as table salt. The other components of seawater are acquired through various methods. One of which is weathering. Chemical weathering of rock releases
