Oceans

Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is an oceanic biome that is located between the Americas, Asian and Australian continents. It is the largest of the world’s five oceans ocean and is approximately 63.8 million square miles full of saltwater, ecosystems, and organisms. The ocean is an average of 13,000 feet deep and covers more than 30 percent of the Earth’s surface. These are just a few defining characteristics of the Pacific Ocean and there is so much more other information on the Pacific Ocean…

Ocean Pollution Plastic is a very useful and universal product that is soft and flexible and used in everyday living. Plastic is used in almost everything like shower curtains, kid’s toys, water bottles, pvc pipes for houses and buildings and even teething toys for babies. It might seem that the ocean is huge and there’s plenty fish in the sea. The changes in the ocean aren’t caused by pollution. Their just changes of the planets natural orbit…

this unknown world. The world is like the universe, waiting to be explored. A lot Of the Ocean is Unexplored Scientists believe that only 5% percent of the ocean is unexplored, leaving 95% of the ocean a vast mystery. Thats not all true, any objects larger than 5 kilometers across have been mapped. New technologies and satallites have helped us a lot with exploring the ocean. The only problem is That the ocean floor blocks radio waves making some of the measurements somewhat inaccurate. 98% of…

caused about $20 billion in property damage, and killed about 150 people (Sharp). Water temperatures off of the East coast were abnormally warm during the summer and fall, which made the force and strength of Sandy even greater (Freedman). The average ocean temperature has risen about 0.18℉ in the past century (“Sea Temperature Rise”). A fraction of a degree may not seem like a lot, but it creates many problems that…

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.…

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…

to marine ecologists, overfishing is the greatest threat to ocean ecosystems today. Overfishing occurs because fish are captured at a faster rate than they can reproduce. This problem started occurring when advanced fishing technology and an increased demand for fish have led to overfishing, causing several marine species to become extinct or endangered as a result. Thinking long term, overfishing can have a devastating impact on ocean communities as it destabilizes the food chain and destroys…

Ocean pollution is one of the worlds worst types of pollution. What can we do to stop it? Imagine drifting through the sea, looking down and seeing the vast ocean full of trash and dead fish all the way to the horizon. The smell of death fills the air as a large wave, full of garbage, comes crashing down towards you and your boat. Sadly this is not the future, nor an imaginary place, it is the world we live in today. This place I describe is called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is…

Ocean Beach may be known for its stellar surfing and savory foods, but it is also known for its historic buildings and architecture. One notable building is the Kraft Building which was built in 1927 for medical purposes. It was owned by Fred Kraft and housed a drug store that contained a soda fountain downstairs. It was also occupied by the historic Seaside grill, which was claimed to have the best pies in town. Rumor also has it that Charles Lindbergh was a common patron here. He would…

On the coast of the Jersey shore, lies a peaceful coastal city, Ocean City. Ocean city is a safe, dry island in southern New Jersey. The city becomes heavily populous with college students and suburban families as the climate turns from frigid to scorching. Ocean City is where many of my summer days were spent witnessing the gorgeous beach, roaming the board walk, dipping ice cream, and enjoying the day with close friends and family. At the crack of dawn, I wake up, trying to be as quiet as…
