The government then met their requests, and later apprehended them in Cuba(Allison). There have been no actual threats of Nuclear…

That means our seas are rising and will continue to rise. Dimick’s article states that “Seas are rising because ice sheets in Greenland and parts of Antarctica, and glaciers in Alaska and elsewhere, are melting as global temperatures rise. Meltwater flows from continents into the oceans, just like water flowing into a bathtub.” (Dimick,2015). If the water continues to rise eventually…

In the year 1000 the Vikings made the trip from Greenland to Newfoundland, across the Northern Atlantic Ocean, settling in Vinland.

Too much pollution in the ocean can make the seawater become too acidic. When the water is too acidic, some marine animals cannot survive. For some marine animals, acidic water reduces their ability to grow shells. “For instance, the thin shell of marine snails is easily eaten away by acid waters” (Levete, 15). The ability to not grow shells can decrease its chance of survival. The marine snails will have less protection without those shells, so they could get eaten more easily by predators.…
