Mid-ocean ridge

the original population of 160,000. This cut off the penguins main food supply and changed the landscape of the colonies habitat. The huge 1,210 square mile iceberg collided with the main land, which caused a land lock that isolated them from the ocean (Imam, 2016). This made them walk over 40 miles in search for food and to reproduce, most of them died during the long journey due to starvation and low mating rates (Imam, 2016). Researchers have been following this…

The impact of rising waters continues to increase, along with the way to protect cities and building from the damage they cause. I found that there are three main arguments that the article “Costal cities need to rethink how they deal with rising waters” included. The first one is the science behind how much damage they cause and how much they need to prepare for. The second argument is the effects of what we do and how we build. The final reason is The history and location of those effect by…

The ocean can be an adventure if one wants it to be. “Through the Tunnel”, makes one feel like never giving up with what they want to accomplish in their life. In “Through the Tunnel”, Doris Lessing uses imagery and characterization to convey to never give up on the things that one wants to do in life, because if one gives up, then they will never know what might have happened. For Jerry, a day at the beach turns into an adventure that gives him confidence in himself. Imagery lets one…

technology has taken overfishing to extremes. We now can use tracking devices to detect where schools of fish are and are able to catch large quantities at one time. Our demand for fish is highly exceeding the supply that we have. The fish in our oceans feed about one billion people daily for their main source of protein. Not only are we using these fish that are being caught as food, we are also using them as bait to catch other fish, using them to feed other livestock, or wasting them as a…

Manta Rays live in the ocean. Mainly in tropical, subtropical, and temperate waters worldwide. They prefer waters near the equator because they are warmer. They live around coral reefs, but also go out to the open sea. Mantas have adapted to life in the water. Their flat shaped body is great for life in motion. It also makes it hard for predators to latch on to them. Their large pectoral fins are very strong, and one flip of them will accelerate them away from danger. The creature’s rough skin…

mainland. I guess it's a childhood thing. It's a... there's a clinical name for it isn't there?” To which Brody sharply responds, “Drowning.” This fear has a great impact on Brody, as he has to fight his entire battle on a boat in the middle of the ocean. Mayor Vaughn, rather than thinking about what is best for the people, only cares about how much profit Amity earns. After the first few attacks, Vaughn states, “I'm only trying to say that Amity is a summer town. We need summer dollars. Now, if…

and non-commercial fishing which depletes a fishery by catching so many adult fish that there aren’t enough remaining to breed and replenish the population. Currently, fishing operations around the world are two to three times larger than what our oceans can sustain. Our combined global fishing capacity, or the amount of fish that can be taken by a single unit whether that be a fisherman or a trawler, is enough to be evenly expanded over at least 4 planets similar in size to our own. The UN Food…
