Iapetus Ocean

Sitting on the shore of a beach you would expect a lot of sand, on this beach there is a lot of rocks and small pebbles which does make it tough to walk on as I feel my shoes fill slowly with the coarse mix of sand and rock. Looking around there are many people with dogs, most off leashes. I can hear them barking at each other and doing their business on the beach with their owners just burying it in the sand. The strong odor of the seaweed is very heavy in the breeze, and it is strung all…

Over the last decades we've witnessed many problems going on with our environment. We've seen many animals going extinct because of humans. We've seen new viruses being spread out because of bacteria. This is all caused from something we do all the time, which is littering. Littering causes many problems in our community because it's a big problem for humans and animals. Littering is the cause of why 700 Marine animal species are being threatened to go extinct. I will like to solve this problem…

There are many different themes for “The Wave” my three are popularity, events happening again or going back in time and forgiveness. Those are my themes for the wave. The title of this book is “The Wave”, the author is Todd Strasser and the genre is realistic fiction. Those are my three themes and most of them are not very nice things, but Mr.Ross made his experiment and if he never did this all would have never happened. I think the first one is popularity because everyone but Laurie Sanders…

and trash. In 2010 Deepwater horizon oil was the largest oil spill to date. Around 4.9 million barrels of oil leaked into the water, the spill affected 8,332 species worldwide. But this incident only accounted for 12 percent of oil in our world's oceans. 36 percent of pollution comes from street runoff and parking…

WHAT? The problem is the invasion of lionfish along the eastern coastal waters of North America, especially in North Carolina. Lionfish in the Atlantic Ocean have been classified as the worst marine invasion yet not just in the United States, but around the world as well. They travel extremely fast and spread more than other invasive species. Lionfish were first confirmed to be established off the coast of North Carolina in 2000. They have spread so fast that they have reached the caribbean are…

For late December in Ireland,it was extremely cold, especially since they were near the sea.Yet no one minded it.They were waiting eagerly at the port for their steamship to dock and for them to board it.The boat that would bring them to freedom.The boat that would bring them to prosperity.The boat that would bring them to America.

Then he leaped for out into the sea...Rainsford tried and tried to swim away from this horrible island. The raging waters of the sea splashed in his face. The salt from the water stings like a bee in his wounds. His stomach rumbles like thunder. He is fighting with himself on whether to turn back or not. He finally decided to go on and swim further and further. He is exhausted and thirsty. In a distance he sees land and figures he would take a break. He could eat a whole horse. He doesn’t…

Underwater creatures are amazing and delightful. Some spotted jellyfish that are large have small fishes living with them. Narwhals have a tusk that is actually a tooth that can grow to 10 feet long, but not all narwhals have tusks. Octopi are the smartest invertebrates. Octopi are able to open a container with prey in it. My favorite underwater creatures are narwhals, spotted jellyfish, and octopi. One of my favorite underwater creatures are narwhals. Narwhals live in the Arctic waters of…

light on the exact process. “When you have a melting slab of ice, it can either melt from above because the atmosphere is getting warmer or it can melt from below because the ocean is warm,” explains lead Thompson, the assistant professor of environmental science and engineering at Caltech. “All of our evidence points to ocean…

A problem in our community is littering. It’s a problem because people don’t care about our community and thinks it’s alright to litter. People in our community litter because they’ll be driving down the road and don’t want to put it in their car so they will just throw it out the window. When they could just put it on their back floor if they have a car or in the bed of their truck if they have a truck. Most people think it’s alright to litter because they don’t think it harms…
