The Artic is the area around the North Pole while the Antarctic is the area around the South Pole.

thecarbon dioxide concentration. The ocean holds a vast amount of carbon. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is transferred into and out of the ocean continually‚ maintaining a balance by dissolving in cold polar water. Plankton also play a large role in maintaining a carbon balance. Plankton in the world oceans use carbon dioxide for growth (photosynthesis). Waste organic matter sinks down from these ecosystems‚ carrying carbon and nutrients away from the surface. Ason land‚ changes to either components

Awaking from a soothing slumber‚ Mariota slowly opened her eyes. As her eyes slowly adjusted to the sparkling blue hue that was above her‚ she was immediately hit with fear and confusion when she looked down at herself and saw that her long legs were replaced with a long blue mermaid tail. Mariota instantly sat up from the rock she had been laying on to check out her surroundings. All she saw was colorful coral reefs surrounding her‚ until she saw the top of a woman’s head who appeared to be peering

The earth’s oceans provide an enormous range of resources and affect the quality of life as we know it. The oceans cover approximately 70 percent of the surface of the earth and have a cyclical effect on weather‚ e.g. temperature‚ precipitation and air quality. Regardless of your views on global warming‚ the fact remains that humans have an impact on the marine ecosystems through waste from chemicals and debris polluting this vast renewable resource. Based upon current scientific evidence‚ emissions

They usually consume plankton when filter feeding. Barnacles do this by opening up their plates which they then extend their legs and form them into a basket shape that scoops inwards where their mouthparts scrape the edible particles of the plankton and transfer these particles inside the mouth and consume them as food. This makes the brown barnacle’s legs and mouthparts useful structural

jellyfish are only found in the deepest depths of the ocean and are very difficult to see without a magnifying glass‚ hand lens or‚ microscope. There is still one remaning question‚ what are jellyfish and what do they eat? “Jellyfish are a type of plankton‚ meaning they are not strong swimmers and at the mercy of currents. When two currents meet‚ large concentrations of jellyfish‚ known as blooms‚ can form. When jellyfish blooms form‚ they can eat almost everything in the water. This can cause problems

Arthropods are part of the largest and most diverse phylum in the animal kingdom. The phylum which I am speaking of is called Arthropoda‚ which is Latin for "jointed feet." Arthropods are arranged of more than one million invertebrate species within four subphyla. The four subphyla consist of five classes of Uniramia including insects‚ three classes of Chelicerata including horseshoe crabs and arachnids‚ Trilobita (which are extinct)‚ and Crustacea. When you break down an arthropod you will find

marine ecosystem collapse‚ an increase of 1/3 accumulation of CO2‚ and oxygen drop up to 50 percent in the atmosphere‚ which will lead to human extinction. Sounds dramatic‚ but it is true. I seriously think that we need to care more about these planktons‚ since they are not unlimited in the ocean‚ and even worst‚ they are decreasing in population. Fortunately‚ there are new waves of phytoplankton studies and research that will help us understand more about them. Phytoplankton is mostly microscopic
