Impacts of Sea Level Rise There are two main reasons why sea levels are rising‚ firstly as air temperatures rise (due to climate change) the water in the oceans is warmed and expands. This process is called thermal expansion. The second reason being that as ice sheets and glaciers melt‚ they increase the amount of water in the oceans. Both of which are rather straightforward. Scientists have shown that in the past there have been periods of significant sea level change due to natural factors. However

Nature is a huge part of our lives. While we appreciate the blessings she imparts on us‚ we often forget that we are robbing her treasures and thus disclaiming our generation the pleasures of enjoying nature in all her abundance. Conceptually there are a variety of ideas I would like to explore in relation to sea animals in order to express the beauty beneath nature. When I encounter the natural environment I aim to glance past the negativity such as pollution‚ poverty‚ over population and natural

Today’s modern world has led to the biggest problem faced in history: global warming. Today’s fast-growing industrialized economy is causing serious environmental issues such as extinction of much of the life on this planet‚ temperature changes‚ and sea level rise. One simple way of reducing the effects of global warming is changing our way of living. One benefit of reducing the industrialized economy of today is that natural habitats will last longer. A fifth of the world’s known mammals‚ a third

S.O.S.E Script For more than 100 years‚ oils spills have been affecting most of our oceans‚ with a lot of oil pollution. This is a major problem and occurs around most of the world and sometimes in the same ocean a numerous amount of times. Oil spills‚ not only affect our oceans beauty but affect the marine life as well. But sometimes there is no way to prevent oil spills. A majority of oils spills are spilt into the oceans due to harsh water conditions or a hurricane. The U.S. Environmental

Plum Island Residents Fighting a Losing Battle Throughout history man has built homes along the shorelines of the sea. We built fishing villages to provide sustenance to our people. Life on the seacoast has shifted from one of necessity of sustainability to one of luxury. Though some local people still making a living by harvesting the fruit of the sea these folks are far from living in the lap of luxury. The fact is the “average” person cannot afford to build an oceanfront home. Many of these

The rise in sea level may be the end for us all as we know it. With the sea rapidly closing in there is no real quick solution. Over one thousand people have already been affected. Examples of this would be the flooding in Jakarta or the lack of crops in Egypt. In addition‚ how does rise in a sea level complicate the struggle for existence for humans and how does the rise in sea level affect how an overall population can survive and how it will repopulate. Climate change affects both animals

Light Transmission Through Liquids With Different Viscosities Introduction Aim This experiment investigates the effects of different liquid viscosities on light transmission. The results of this experiment could greatly benefit marine biologists or other marine scientists. This would help them figure out how their flashlights would work in different water conditions in the ocean. Background Research Spectrophotometers are devices that measure the amount of light absorbed by a certain liquid
