Ocean current

and her baby woke up and ate breakfast. The baby turtle(Greenlynn) said “mommy one day I want to travel the ocean.”Greenlynn’s mommy said “Can I travel the ocean with you one day Greenlynn?”. Greenlynn said “ yes mommy you can.” The next morning Greenlynn’s mommy took her to a big current. Greenlynn said with a tired look “where are we?” “Today’s that one day that we are going to travel ocean!” Greenlynn’s mommy said loudly. Greenlynn’s eyes open wide when her mommy said that. “when are we…

be assured that Tesla was the first one to transmit radio signals, the foundation of the Wardenclyffe Tower collapsed, and then another scientist named Marconi became famous after it was known that he transmitted radio signals across the Atlantic Ocean. This resulted in the defamation of Tesla. After Tesla was out of the limelight, he concocted brilliant, thought provoking ideas for possible inventions. Tesla believed that in the future, electricity would be the fuel for cars, and that if…

the amount of garbage that is in the ocean. Out of all the trash found in the ocean the majority of it is pieces of plastic. Mary Crowley is an environmental activist and the captain of the ship Kaisei, which means ocean planet. Crowley is also one of the founders of Project Kaisei. This foundation working to find out how much trash is actually in the ocean, how that is effecting the marine life, and how to reduce the amount of trash going into the ocean. What Crowley finds is shocking, but…

Increases in the amount of heat that the earth’s oceans contain can cause many changes. These increases in temperature have increased the rate at which ice from glaciers and ice sheets melts which has led to a rise in the oceans sea level and volume. Storm systems are greatly affected by these temperature changes the warmer the ocean is the stronger the storm system becomes (1). The increase in warmth in the top layers of the ocean leads to stratification in its water columns minimizing…

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…

that is being thrown in the ocean every minute of every hour of every day. I chose this topic because of the scale of this problem and the speed this problem is growing with. It is a global problem that affects the ocean plants & creatures that live there. So I’ve made a research to tell you about this issue. (Weule) Besides the significant damage it cause to the environment and fauna it affects us directly as well. Today I’m going to tell you why the plastic in the ocean is a bigger problem…

Plastic Overtaking the Oceans In a study conducted by UC Santa Barbara’s National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), they found that “8 million metric tons of plastic” are added to the oceans pollution each year. Recently, plastic pollution has been become a predominant problem in the environmental society; however plastic production and pollution has been on the rise since the nineties. Plastic is overwhelming the world, because it is not biodegradable, meaning it can…

The ocean circulation can be defined like the global movement of water, which occurs in the ocean basins. These movement of water are the ocean currents, which plays an important role in the climate since store and distribute heat, microorganisms like nutrients and freshwater all over the world. Therefore, any change that modifies the ocean circulation will alter drastically the global climate. In this section it will be broadly explained the factors, which determine the ocean circulation and a…

Effects of a Toxic Ocean Earth has gone through various changes in climate over the span of its existence. These changes are natural and healthy for the environment. Recently, however, there has been a fluctuation in climate, not caused by the inner workings of the earth. Humans have created many different substances that provide many uses such as packaging and a lightweight, cheap building material. An example of this is plastic; it is a very useful tool, but it has its downfalls. Plastic…

homes. In general, sea ice is moderated by the sunlight. Like most ice it melts in the summer and refreezes during the winter. Most of the time during the winter it will grow to larger ice sheets. But in recent years this is not the case. Warm ocean currents move north from the equator causing warmer waters to travel to the arctic ice regions This makes it harder during the winter for ice sheets to freeze and form together. This has an adverse affect on the Earth itself. One of the primary…
