There must be a major push for us to do something about the plastic that pollutes our oceans. As of 2014, there was 311 million tons of plastic in the oceans. With so much plastic, the ratio of fish and plastic was just 5 to1. We cannot allow the amount of plastic in our oceans to rise. Still, though, there is expected to be as much as 1,124 million tons of plastic in our oceans by 2050, making the ratio nearly 1 to 1. That sort of mistreatment to the planet is unacceptable. The wildlife, health…

Silence was heard about the sea. Twenty lifeboats floated around in the quiet, moonless night. The Titanic had sunk. This was a tragic turn of events, for the RMS Titanic was the height of advancement and technology in the 1900s. Not only was she the largest ship in the world, but “she was safe. The Titanic, as everyone knew, was practically unsinkable” (Hopkinson 2). White Star Lines assured people that there was no ship safer than her. Such technology certainly could not be defeated by the…

• Habitat loss Sea turtles are dependent on beaches for nesting. Uncontrolled coastal development, vehicle traffic on beaches, and other human activities have directly destroyed or disturbed sea turtle nesting beaches around the world. Turtle feeding grounds such as coral reefs and sea grass beds are damaged and destroyed by activities onshore, including sedimentation from clearing of land and nutrient run-off from agriculture. • Climate change All stages of a sea turtle’s life are affected…

Through the teleconnections, atmospheric changes extend beyond the tropical Pacific and other neighbouring countries. The Indian and Atlantic oceans are affected. In terms of teleconnection, the oceans are also affected by location, for instance, during a La-Nina event the shift of rainfall in the western Pacific causes greater rainfall in eastern and northern Australia, whilst the central…

amount information early Europeans had. With only the knowledge of Europe, Asia, and Africa, early map makers were quite accurate in surveying and mapping these regions. Using these maps, made from early map makers, Christopher Columbus sailed the Atlantic ocean to find a route to Asia. The technological advances of today include satellite imagery. With the use of satellite imagery, we can discover new places without ever having to travel. Satellite imagery would have allowed Christopher…

Marine pollution “Plastic never goes away, and its increasingly finding its way into our oceans and onto our beaches”(“Ocean Plastics Pollution”). Marine pollution is a hazard to humans and wildlife when consumed. Marine pollution is detrimental to our planet and its many diverse ecosystems filled with delicate wildlife. The pollution of our oceans occurs daily and is often overlooked or forgotten about when it is a major environmental issue. Marine pollution causes many species of marine life…

RECENT TRENDS ON PURIFICATION OF SEA WATER INTRODUCTION SEAWATER: -Sea water or salt water is water from sea or ocean. Sea or ocean water accounts for the most percentage of water on the earth. Almost anything can be found in sea water. This includes dissolved salts from earth’s crust and material released by micro organisms. It is the most impure form of natural water. Rivers join sea and throw in the impurities carried by them. Moreover continuous evaporation of water from the surface of sea…

It is the most refreshing place you would ever want to visit. People there are so mellow the air is breezy and the sun shines so vividly. It’s way across Georgia but it’s still a part of the fifty states of America. I never been but I would love to see those hills, to take a trip down Melrose and enjoy a drink while cruising downtown. I would also love to walk the “walk of fame.” I would run into Marilyn Monroe and a bunch of characters posed to being these significant figures. All I see is…
