Iapetus Ocean

The ocean: a large expanse of salt water that covers two-thirds of our earth’s surface. It is involved in many biospheric processes and the home to many known and unknown organisms. The first few meters of the ocean are an important site for primary production — the conversion of carbon dioxide from a gas into organic carbon. Carbon dioxide plays an important role in determining the pH of ocean water. Over the last hundred years the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have increased,…

Are humans causing global warming? For the past fifty years these questions are being asked more and more by scientists who believe that the Earth’s climate is getting steadily warmer at a frightening rate. Earth 's ever-changing climate has seized the attention of scientists whom would have world accept that without a great change to human behavior, the world will end up destroyed.

project, I decided to research water pollution, and how it affects ocean life and its inhabitants. I will be answering questions that I have about water pollution and how it 's affecting our oceans. The reason I’m doing my project on this topic is because I find it very interesting, and I also want to bring awareness to this issue.

how dolphins jump, how long a baby stay with its mother. How about how they communicate, mating rituals, and hunt. Join the nautilus, spy turtle, spy dolphin, spy tuna, and spy ray on their jet propulsion journey as the newest camera robots in the ocean. Spy turtle follows the bottlenose dolphins around Mozambique beach as we run into a giant clam containing the nautilus that have a high definition camera in their eyes. This gives the robots sight and henceforth leans into personification…

Despite being awarded a Nobel and Pulitzer Prize, Hemingway still faced many critics and experienced many hardships. This story is about an…

Introduction Marine invertebrates in the class Anthozoa are known as Corals. These diverse organisms give quite a show in the shallow clear parts of the ocean. Corals live closely together in groups expressing their bright colors that stand out so nicely. Many people consider coral reefs to be very diverse and productive than anything on land. Their skeleton is made out of calcium carbonate protecting them from future encounters with predators. Many more coral polyps then can attach themselves…

find a fix for. Some other effects of climate change are rising sea levels, extreme weather conditions, and impacts our health. Some effects of climate change, can’t be physically seen by the human eye until it is to late. There are no beach or oceans near Kentucky so noticing a change in sea level would be impossible for residents here. Sea levels have risen at an accelerating rate over…

There was no light, no voices or soul; just darkness. I felt every cell in my body panic as my air supply began to cut off. I felt my body sink lower and lower. The increasing pressure made it merely impossible for my muscles to contract. My body was immobile, in my head I kept screaming, begging my arms to move, I was pleading my body to desire life. Finally my eyes opened and I realized I was alive. The soil, air and sound where all the same as before, except I could feel every living…

individuals will have no concern for this situation, that callous attitude has caused devastation for the ocean and its inhabitants. With information from Stephen D. A. Smith and Robert J. Edgar in “Documenting the Density of Subtidal Marine Debris across Multiple Marine and Coastal Habitats,” they found and conducted studies noting troubling observations. During the research, many of the once beautiful oceans are now dumping ground unfortunately accepted by individuals. As it will continue to…
