Ocean liner

Overview The Earth goes through many natural changes like sea levels slightly changing, earthquakes, and tornadoes. Global warming has greatly increased and became one of biggest contributors to the changes on the Earth. Immediately I decided I wanted to learn more about global warming. Global warming has changed climate a lot since when I was younger. Right now it is December 18th and we have no snow. I think this is the first winter that we have had no snow; usually there is so much that we…

Throughout Miles’ journey, Miles becomes more appreciative, for his and others’ life. While walking on the beach, Miles observes a seashell and has an epiphany, “Those shells, as unique and timeless as bones, helped me realize, that in the life on Earth, we are houseflies, here for one flash of light,” (45). Miles’ epiphany is that his life on earth will not last forever. After his “one flash of light,” he will be gone. Humans only get one chance to live on earth and Miles realizes he needs to…

Oil spills kill thousands of birds and fish. The integrity of the ocean water is depleted. Not only do oil spills affect marine ecosystems, but seismic testing is harmful to any marine mammal dependent on sound. Seismic testing shoots sound waves that can go through ocean depths and 500…

The island of Uta-Jima is surrounded by hefty bodies of soothing ocean water. The islanders are the individuals that have the pleasure to view it every day when they wake in the morning, and in the darkness of the night. Those bodies of water bring many privileges to the islanders of Song Island. The oceans allow for the majority of the individuals to be well-off in their lives. This could be proven by taking into account the jobs that the islanders have, the food they consume, the…

He had many preferences and passions as a kid. He saw the ocean as a place to explore and this pushed him to look out for new ways to document it. Because of this he was able to take part in the Challenger Expedition. The Challenger Expedition was the first of its kind. It gathered all types of marine life that was just being seen for the first time. They learned the basics like what temperatures of the ocean in certain spots were and along with it all they learned of oceanic currents…

than it is today. This could mean that since the water temperature is too cold for the salmon they migrate some where else where it is warmer. Another cause of the decrease in Salmon, is that not a lot of salmon are making the journey back from the ocean to fresh waters where they lay their eggs, which causes less reproduction of salmon. One other impact of global warming that the film addressed was the problem of spruce beetles. Spruce beetles usually live in the south where there is always a…

The world will melt its way into an apocalyptic world, oceans will flood places, people will die of the heat, starvation will take place. How will the human race prevent this from happening? In order to stop global warming scientists must find ideas, and look at what is causing this? Global Warming occurs when a vast quantity of C02 along with other pollutants gets into the atmosphere and absorbs light as well as solar radiation, which has bounced off the surface of the Earth for centuries in…

of the marine wildlife. One of the things that can help reduce the rate and effect of emission is to lower the amount to greenhouse gases in the air. Coral reefs are at the heart of the sea. They are a critical to some of species that live in the ocean. They use the coral to find sources of food and shelter which in return supports the commercial fishing used to feed people all around the world. They also are a natural border that breaks down storm surges that could happen at any time. Coral…

Too much pollution in the ocean can make the seawater become too acidic. When the water is too acidic, some marine animals cannot survive. For some marine animals, acidic water reduces their ability to grow shells. “For instance, the thin shell of marine snails is easily eaten away by acid waters” (Levete, 15). The ability to not grow shells can decrease its chance of survival. The marine snails will have less protection without those shells, so they could get eaten more easily by predators.…

Researchers have created filtering machines to help reduce carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. Also, researchers are thinking of artificially enhancing the growth of phytoplankton; which absorb nearly the same rate of carbon dioxide from the ocean and the atmosphere as land plants do. However, others argue that both of these can have severe consequences and possibly cause more harm. “Washing carbon out of the air” by Klaus Lackner is about machines that could help reduce and…
