Both the Chinese and the Portuguese sought involvement in the Indian Ocean trade but each group used methods that juxtaposed each other. The Chinese had a lot of goods that those involved in the Indian Ocean trade routes desired. On the other hand‚ the Portuguese did not really have any goods to trade; no one needed iron pots or the wool clothing that they produced. This led the Europeans to take a different approach; since they could not trade in the way others could‚ they had to use coerce their

The Ocean matters. The coral reef is a home to more than 3‚000 species of fish‚ 700 species of hard coral and around 100 other species. Scientists say that there could be 1-8 million undercovered species. If not protected all these species have nowhere to go and the undiscovered species will likely not be discovered. We cannot let these species die a whole ecosystem will be lost. Ocean Conservancy was created in 1972‚ they offer 2‚300‚000 jobs to people. Over the 25 years the organization was

Porter’s Five Force Model Threat of New Entry In terms of the amusement park industry‚ the entry barrier is high due to the need to invest large amount of financial resources. In addition to the amusement park required land for a full scale development. This factor is important because Hong Kong has a high land price real estate market. Threat of Rivalry It is important to consider with lack of differentiation‚ visitors’ choice will greatly over the price and service‚ thus causes pressure

SALINITY AND DEEP OCEAN CURRENTS OVERVIEW Ocean currents arise in many different ways. For example‚ wind pushes the water along the surface to form wind-driven currents. Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in water temperature and salinity. In this experiment‚ the students will hypothesize the cause of ocean currents and then develop a model to explain the role of salinity and density in deep ocean currents. CONCEPTS Salt water is more dense than fresh water‚ and is therefore

Have you ever been in the ocean before? Have you ever felt it burning your skin? Ocean acidification is becoming a great problem in our world. Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease of the oceans pH levels due to lots of CO₂ entering the water from our atmosphere. 30-40% of the carbon dioxide from human activity released into the atmosphere goes into lakes‚ rivers‚ and oceans. This is causing the ocean to become more acidic. The ocean’s acidity has increased by around 30% since the industrial

Discussion Section-1 November 17‚ 2011 The other CO₂ Problem Todays oceans are not the same as they once were prior to the industrial revolution. The ocean serves as a reservoir for the worlds green house gasses. The increase in anthropogenic CO₂ has also resulted in an increase in the uptake by the ocean of CO₂. As a result of this uptake‚ the ocean is becoming progressively more and more acidic. This acidification of the ocean is expected to have great impacts on marine ecosystems. Coral reefs

Have you ever thought about how ocean acidification affects organisms that live in the ocean‚ or even what ocean acidification is? First off‚ ocean acidification is a term used to describe significant changes to the chemistry of the ocean. This happens when carbon dioxide is absorbed by the ocean and reacts with seawater to produce acid. Ocean acidification affects many organisms’ homes and shelters. It also destroys many reef ecosystems. Ocean acidification is a bad thing. It’s bad because it
