The ocean is one of the most biggest and exclusive gift to the mankind. It has been responsible to a quantum harmonizing of the ecosystem. Without ocean‚ the carbon dioxide would have clouded and generate a serious threat to the nearest sheet of atmosphere covering the planet. For humans and animals‚ it provides the needed unbeatable agent of our existence‚ oxygen. Foods in different forms have been stored in this giant earth occupier and life has been sustained in general through the ocean. It is

The sun was glistening on the ocean as I glided in. Thinking to myself that this was the best vacation a fourth grader could have‚ I observed the ripples as I inhaled the sweet scent of the refreshing water. Boogie board in hand‚ I swam out farther to catch a wave. Soon‚ when I had not been paying attention‚ I realized I had gone out too far. That moment was the first most panic stricken I’d ever been. Noticing the splashes of the waves more than anything‚ I never became fully aware about how far

Introduction Over the last decade‚ there has been an increased focus on the impact of human activities on the planet and studying the potential impacts of ocean acidification (OA). Ocean acidification describes a change in the carbon chemistry of the ocean which has been a steadily emerging global environmental health concern. Oceans cover nearly 70 percent of the planet’s surface and play a crucial role in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide through physical‚ chemical‚ and biological processes

The Blue Zones Analysis How we live‚ affects how long we live. In recent studies‚ lifestyle affects 75% of our longevity. This means that our genes and diseases only affect 25% of how long we will live. The Blue Zones takes author Dan Buettner to longevity hot spots around the globe where a disproportionate number of people live a very long time. These hot spots are called blue zones. The term‚ “blue zone”‚ sounded a bit intimidating at first. I was expecting a scientific lesson on genes and aging

I feel that Ocean Acidification is an issue that isn’t talked about enough and that people don’t really know about it or what to do about it. This article did a really good job of giving examples of Ocean acidification but it doesn’t do a very good job of telling us what we can do to prevent it. The article also did a very good job of informing us with facts about it. In this article‚ it tells us that by 2050 the ocean will have become much‚ much more acidic‚ and a lot of the fish will have either

Summary and Response to Ocean Acidification Article The National Geographic article “Ocean Acidification; Carbon Dioxide is Putting Shelled Animals at Risk‚” argues that the drop in surface pH could have a devastating effect on not only the organisms living in the ocean‚ but the environment that surrounds us. Research has shown that at least half of the carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere has been absorbed by the oceans over time. This has benefited our environment because by

Dolphins in the Ocean Park The main attraction at Hong Kong’s Ocean Park is a dolphin show with an earnest message about humans and animals living in harmony. Yet‚ David Wong of Hong Kong animal rights group Animal Earth says the shows are "detrimental to moral thinking." He also says that the very act of capturing the animals strips people of all respect that they may have for animals. There was an anti-dolphin show campaign by local animal rights groups in the summer of 2012. They wanted
