a magnitude of 6.5 or greater, landslides into or under the water surface, volcanic activity and meteorite impacts. Two tsunamis occur per year throughout the world which inflict damage near the source. Approximately every 15 years a destructive, ocean-wide tsunami occurs. Tsunamis travel approximately 700kph in 4000m depth of sea water, when reaching shore the wave slows in speed but increased height by over 10 times. When…

The Earth’s surface is filled with around 71% of water, and of that, 96.5% is of ocean waters. With the Earth oceans water supply making up about 321,000,000 cubic miles. Ocean acidification is the harmful consequence of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. When carbon dioxide dissolves into sea water the pH levels of the water become much lower, therefore, making the water more acidic. Subsequently, this reaction diminishes the calcium carbonate minerals making them less abundant. Carbonate…
