Ocean acidification is caused by CO2 in the atmosphere when it reacts with water it creates carbonic acid. It’s a significant and harmful consequence of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that we don’t see or feel because its effects are happening underwater. When carbon dioxide is absorbed by seawater a chemical reaction occurs that reduces the seawaters pH‚ carbonate ion concentration‚ and saturation states of biologically significant calcium carbonate minerals. It decreases the pH of seawater

This research project investigates how the pH of ocean water affects the mass of the shells of sea organisms. People who might benefit from this project are Oceanographers and Fisheries. The resources used included an article from the website Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History‚ called “Ocean Acidification” by Jennifer Bennett‚ an interview with Dr. Andrew Dickson‚ a professor of marine chemistry at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography‚ University of California‚ San Diego‚ and an

Red Bull‚ a stunning example of Neo-Liberalism: Almost everybody around the globe knows Red Bull. Even if this brand was less known a few months ago‚ this company is making sure you will hear about them with their space program baptized ‘Red Bull Stratos’1. The idea was to make a man jump from the highest point possible in the stratosphere‚ as a way to attract the attention of as many people as possible. So they made Felix Baumgartner‚ an athlete having the same nationality as Red Bull itself

Will the Atlantic Ocean ever be bigger than the Pacific Ocean? The earth first started off as one huge continent called Pangea. Pangea was surrounded by one giant body of water. Over the course of millions and millions of years‚ Pangea began to break off and separate. After millions of years of movement‚ that is why the earth has the formation that it currently has‚ with seven large continents. With an area of 41‚105‚000 square miles‚ the Atlantic Ocean is currently just a little over half the

Country: Mexico Topic: Marine Protection and Biodiversity The oceans cover 70% of the planet’s surface area‚ and marine and coastal environments contain diverse habitats that support an abundance of marine life. Especially Mexico‚ where is bordered on the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; on the southeast by the Caribbean Sea; and on the east by the Gulf of Mexico. The sustainability of our biosphere significantly relies on the goods and services provided by deep-sea ecosystems. Biodiversity

Blue Ocean Strategy Paper MKT/421 July 21‚ 2014 Anatomy of Blue Ocean Strategy In order to process the nature of a blue ocean entity‚ it is imperative to grasp the point of derivation‚ which is otherwise known as a red ocean. A red ocean‚ which is polar to a blue ocean‚ generates its namesake from a literal representation. Imagine a feeding frenzy in the middle of the ocean; the water turns red with the victim’s blood as predators compete for survival. Now‚ apply

In 2004‚ Kim and Mauborgne published their study‚ where they analyzed 150 companies from 30 different industries over the time span of 100 years (Kim & Mauborgne‚ 2005). They named two type of different markets called Blue Ocean and Red Ocean. According to their report‚ only the companies in Blue Ocean has succeeded to make

According to the Case description‚ Exhibit 3 showed order booking and delivery schedule for bulk capsizes for coming years from 2001 to 2004. It was larger than the number of current fleet size in Exhibit 2. Thus‚ the spot hire rates would likely to decrease since capsizes are available. 2) What factors drive average daily hire rates? Daily hire rate were determined

hasn’t escaped the world’s attention. Ocean acidification however is a much less known issue‚ it is a result of about 79 million tons of CO2 that is released into the atmosphere every single day‚ not just from fossil fuel burning‚ but also from the deforestation of cement‚ and the production of cement. Ever since the beginning of industrial revolution‚ approximately a third of the CO2 let into the atmosphere from anthropogenic reasons got absorbed by the world’s oceans‚ which plays a very big role in controlling
