Ocean current

The way we neglect our ocean with heavy amounts of pollution can potentially affect our lives in a negative manner. Driving cars and the use of plastic is essential to our daily lives, but we use them without the concern for how they are affecting the habitats on Earth. Some people think that the chance that they are doing harm to the ocean is less important to them than cost or inconvenience of fixing a pollution problem. Through sources from researchers and scientists, they have found evidence…

a petition is the topic of ocean dumping. Ocean dumping consists of toxic waste being dropped into the ocean and this would cause for a lot of changes to be made. The changes I would make would be to greatly reduce the amount of waste dumped into the oceans or if possible completely avoid sewage being put into the ocean. Not only this, but it would be important to bring up a way to clean up the ocean in order to preserve it and protect the animals that inhabit the ocean. To start this, it would…

viewer to the mermaid. Bottles create a illusion of an ocean, but upon closer examination it is clear that they are not one body but many little bottles. The photo uses different textures to simulate natural elements with unnatural components. The shine of the bottles that make up the ocean add to the different dimensions that the photo holds.…

oceanography, to currents, to plate tectonics, all of the subtleties of the dynamic planet are unique in their own ways. Our Earth, itself, is a dynamic planet. The planet contains over one thousand volcanoes, forty thousand earthquakes, and almost two hundred impact craters. All of these features come from the Earth constantly being in motion. The Earth has powerful forces that are caused by nature. Most of which can’t be seen but felt because they are deep in our Earth’s oceans. To…

Last week we worked on ocean currents. We worked on a lot of things about water pollution. We went over things about acid rain, we went over stuff about sewage and wastewater, we went over stuff about industrial waste. Also during this week we went over oil pollution, eutrophication, radioactive waste, marine dumping, and also underground storage leaks. We all split into groups and made a presentation about one of them. After that we made a google document about a reflection on the presentations…

Ancient Sea Just for few moments, imagine a city bus, now imagine that bus with teeth. Scientists say this was the size of Megalodon and it ruled the oceans during the Miocene-Pliocene years, which were 15 to 5 million years ago. Researchers believe it was the largest and fiercest predator in the ocean until about 2.6 million years…

ocean’s great currents, also known as the global conveyer belt. THC, in conjunction with tidal forces and wind patterns, keep our oceans circulating in what appears to be a closed loop system. As the temperature of seawater passing through the North Atlantic Ocean drops, it freezes and leaves behind saline, increasing salt concentration and therefore density of the surrounding water. The heavier waters then sink, and less dense surface water moves in to fill its place, creating a current. The…

ships for research use. The warship HMS Challenger was modified to a research ship by having ammunition and 15 guns removed and replaced with laboratories. It was the first expedition of its kind, organized and funded specifically to chart and record ocean features as well as to examine the deep-sea floor more closely than ever before. The expedition was led by Captain George Nares and the scientific work was led by Wyville Thomson and assisted by Sir John Murray. Captain Frank Tourle Thomson…

With only 71 percent of the earths body of water, we have 96.5 percent of ocean resources to meet our current expectations of having a blissful experience along the coastlines. Although this may be true, lately we as consumers are destroying our oceans sustainable body of water, and the sea creature’s life expectancy. Henceforth in the county of Los Angeles specifically, the sustainability of ocean waters are being contaminated by the toxicity of waste being dumped by consumers. Under the…

Why are the oceans in trouble? They can no longer absorb the damage inflicted by the 7 billion people on Earth. Over many decades, the human race has overfished key species to near extinction, and polluted them with carbon dioxide emissions, toxic chemicals, garbage, and discarded plastics. A groundbreaking new study, recently published in Science, warned that our oceans are being irreparably damaged by human activity and could be on "the precipice of a major extinction event." Coral reefs,…
