that comes along with this aspect of climate change. So what causes the ocean to continue rising? Two answers that seem to stand out are polar ice melting‚ therefore increasing the amount of water in the oceans‚ and the sinking of ground sediment. The latter reason is not as well emphasized‚ but still remains a pressing issue that our civilization needs to come face to face with. Along with the obvious rise in the ocean waters‚ coastal populations also face events brought on by nature such as

As the darkness settles into the night‚ it provides the connotation of overwhelming darkness on the roofs and walls then the direction turns towards the sea where it is personified because the sea is calling. Longfellow writes‚ “The little waves‚ with their soft white hands‚ Efface the footprints in the

The Ocean Floor No one has ever walked the sea floor and few have even seen it. This is because of the extreme conditions found there. It is dark‚ and the temperature is close to freezing. A person standing on the sea floor would be under tremendous pressure from the overlaying water. The pressure is hundreds of times greater than the atmospheric pressure. Such a force would crush the human body. Using research submersibles which are specially designed to with stand the pressure of the water‚ scientists

Pacific Ocean are getting hit with a mysterious condition. This condition starts out as a white or black lesion on the sea star’s body. From there‚ it spreads all over the body‚ causing its arms to decay. In the worst cases‚ the entire sea star disintegrates completely. Jeff Marliare‚ a Vancouver Aquarium biologist‚ says “an arm will actually break off and crawl away. (Then) they turn into goo.” Sea stars living in aquariums aren’t safe from this affliction.

CHAPTER 31 OCEAN CURRENTS TYPES AND CAUSES OF CURRENTS 3100. Definitions The movement of ocean water is one of the two principal sources of discrepancy between dead reckoned and actual positions of vessels. Water in motion is called a current; the direction toward which it moves is called set‚ and its speed is called drift. Modern shipping speeds have lessened the impact of currents on a typical voyage‚ and since electronic navigation allows continuous adjustment of course‚ there is less need to
