Increases in the amount of heat that the earth’s oceans contain can cause many changes. These increases in temperature have increased the rate at which ice from glaciers and ice sheets melts which has led to a rise in the oceans sea level and volume. Storm systems are greatly affected by these temperature changes the warmer the ocean is the stronger the storm system becomes (1). The increase in warmth in the top layers of the ocean leads to stratification in its water columns minimizing…

It’s early 1980s and Dr. Robert Ballard has a dream. That dream was to discover the Titanic.

The ocean circulation can be defined like the global movement of water, which occurs in the ocean basins. These movement of water are the ocean currents, which plays an important role in the climate since store and distribute heat, microorganisms like nutrients and freshwater all over the world. Therefore, any change that modifies the ocean circulation will alter drastically the global climate. In this section it will be broadly explained the factors, which determine the ocean circulation and a…

to many plants and animals within its many oceans and three different levels. Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, Southern, and Indian are the five main oceans on this planet. Each ocean is separated into three levels, known as euphotic, disphotic, and aphotic. The euphotic zone is also known as the sunlight zone, this is the top layer of the ocean and it receives almost all of the sun's rays. The next section is called the disphotic zone. This layer of the ocean is a little too deep for much sunlight to…

The Panama Canal is planning on being widened since its completion. Since there are virtually enormous shipments coming from Asia, there is an uncontested use of area needed for the Panama Canal. This work in progress is projected to be completed this year in 2015. So what will that do for the west coast ports? It will cause the Gulf Coast to gain jobs and seek local and federal investments. With the incidents such as Katrina, and the major oil spill, the Gulf coast could use some type of…
