“The acidification of the ocean today is bigger and faster than anything geologists can find in the fossil record over the past 65 million years” (Carl Zimmer). This is just an illustration regarding the tales of environmental degradation from carbon dioxide pollution in the ocean. The phenomenon of ocean acidification is imperative to understand; the reduction of essential pH levels over a protracted period of time is extremely harmful. In other words‚ ocean acidification can be measured by pH units

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

that Ocean Carriers is a U.S. firm subject to a 35% statutory (and effective) marginal tax rate. Second‚ assume that Ocean Carriers is domiciled in Hong Kong for tax purposes‚ where ship owners are not required to pay any tax on profits made overseas and are also exempted from paying any tax on profit made on cargo uplifted from Hong Kong‚ i.e.‚ assume a zero tax rate. Answer With 35% tax in the US we have a negative NPV of 35% hence recommended not to proceed with the project. If Ocean carriers

Actually‚ there is not any mixing of these two oceans‚ but there is a mixing of the "glacial melt fresh water"(Light blue color) with the "saline sea waters" (Dark blue color). However‚ due to density contrast‚ they don’t mix... at least not immediately!

Acidification in our Oceans Oceanography April 2‚ 2013 What is Ocean Acidification? “Ocean Acidification‚ is the worldwide reduction in the pH of seawater as a consequence of the absorption of large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) by the oceans.” (Britannica). Ocean acidification is largely the result of loading Earth’s atmosphere with large quantities of CO2‚ produced by vehicles and industrial and agricultural processes. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution about
