Sea level

2014, and 15 of the 16 hottest years in history have been since 2000. The 16th was 1998.” With global temperatures on the rise, there are many things that can and will change about our environment. Global warming has been associated with rises in sea levels, rises in average temperature, and even rises in the frequency and intensity of precipitation…

Sea-Level Rise is a consequence of the global climate change causing a general shoreline retreat and an increased flooding (Mangor 2004). With a 1 m rise in Sea Level, affected populations will be 36.9 million in the East Asia and Pacific region, 7.9 million in the Middle East and North Africa, 6.4 million in South Asia, 2.7 million in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 2.3 million in Sub-Saharan Africa (Dasgupta et al. 2008). With tidal gauge instruments, it was measured that the sea…

immediately. Sea levels are rising because of the enormous amounts of carbon dioxide gas being emitted from the use of fossil fuels; mainly from the United States with China as a close second. Because of our use of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide gas is being trapped in the atmosphere so that creates warmer temperatures, and because of these warmer temperatures, Antarctica and Greenland, along with other areas full of ice in the ocean, are melting which raises the sea levels. These rising sea…

that in these stages, higher levels of reasoning also contain the understanding of the lower reasoning stages. This “hierarchical integration” is due to the fact that these stages always move forward (Kohlberg & Hersh, 1977). Regression is only possible in cases of extreme trauma.…

I have made an abundant amount of change since I’ve reached level two. I have had to make many changes to my behavior before being able to reach this level. One of my main problems was lying which I have had trouble with before I came to Eckerd and stealing as well which I’ve worked on also. When I leveled up I was faced with problems within the group and problems I faced before I leveled up like arguing with my staff and peers. Since leveling up I learned to deal with these situations and…

marshes. Rising sea level has became a major problem for today’s environment, particularly the pacific coast marshes and wetlands, according to Dr. Glen Macdonald’s research. He has done research on how the sea level rising is affecting the marshes. His research has been focused on the 14 salt water marshes along the pacific coast, ranging from Tijuana to the northern Washington. Dr. Macdonald has taken sediment cores and analyzed them to help understand the long-term effects of sea level…

Ocean Pollution Over half of sea turtles have ingested an outrageous amount of plastic and lots of them have even died from the marine pollution that's getting put into the ocean. A lot of animals are getting killed/injured by ocean pollution and its not just litter that's harming them. Many chemicals can also be released from runoff or even marine mammal carcasses. One of the animals that is getting harmed by the litter is sea turtles. A large amount of sea turtles are getting killed by eating…

and liver problems, and their reproductive system will be affected; it also cause cancer and their behavioral changes. Second, the debris in the ocean does not decompose and they stay in the ocean for years. They consume oxygen and cause the oxygen level goes down. As a result, marine animals such as whales, turtles, sharks cannot survive. The wasted and chemicals used in industries and agriculture also have an effect on the food chain. Small animals will swallow the chemicals debris, which do…

There are two major trophic cascades that scientist use. One is called bottom-up and the other is top-down. The controller of top-down would be the top predator or the apex predator (Wallach and O’Neill, 2009). The apex predator can also be known as the keystone species in that ecosystem. Top-down control is when the apex predator regulates the structure and population of the ecosystem (Wallach and O’Neill, 2009). The apex predators will prey on the consumers, which keeps the consumers…
