Southern Ocean

yearly cold winters. There are about 15 different species of whale in the Great Barrier Reef alone, most of them migrate north while the southern hemisphere have their winter to breed. So while they are staying at the Great Barrier Reef it is very important for their species survival. While the dolphins mostly inhabit the tropical waters waters so a rise in the ocean temperature should not affect them. Cyclones, storms and heavy rainfall will affect dolphins in coastal areas by bringing…

natural features. Skagit Valley Freshwater Beaches Cranberry Lake South of Rosario Park, across Deception Pass, you’ll find Cranberry Lake. This large lake has a phenomenal swimming area, and is known as a great spot for fishing. To the west is the ocean, so you can enjoy the features of saltwater and freshwater simultaneously. Because of the lake’s location and proximity to the sea, the waters are typically warmer than you’d find in the water just a couple of hundred feet away in the…

things people are getting away in international water. One of the things that people get away with is polluting the water in the ocean intentionally. This is wrong for many reasons;the major reasons is that a lot of fishes and animals that depend on that water to live in and eat are dying because of all the oil being dumped there. Another reason is that it’s not just the ocean that is being polluted, but the air is also being polluted and that affects all of us and the environment. A fact that…

Antarctica's waters are getting hotter, Aronson told Live Science. At some point inside of the following couple of decades, the landmass' frigid ocean will have sufficiently warmed (by around 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, or 1 degree Celsius) to permit these titan crabs to move up onto the rack and begin eating up the echinoderms (a gathering that incorporates ocean stars and ocean urchins) and mollusks, (for example, shellfishes and mussels) that live there. "That is the thing that must concerned —…

They get their starts at headwaters, which may be springs, snowmelt or even lakes. This water then travels all the way to their mouths, usually another water channel or the ocean. The temperature is usually cooler at the source than it is at the mouth of the river. The water is also clearer at the mouth, has higher oxygen levels, and freshwater fish such as trout can be found here. Towards the middle part of the stream/river…

project, I decided to research water pollution, and how it affects ocean life and its inhabitants. I will be answering questions that I have about water pollution and how it 's affecting our oceans. The reason I’m doing my project on this topic is because I find it very interesting, and I also want to bring awareness to this issue. It 's a worldwide problem that needs to be addressed, because if we continue to do nothing, I believe that ocean life as we know it will go extinct. With this project…

atmosphere. That causes the biological pump in the ocean to take in more carbon dioxide, which results…

listened to all the entries of the historical recordings of The Vancouver Soundscape. Track one is a recording of ocean sounds. The listening process has been an enjoyable experience to me, for I have never ever listened into the ocean sounds before. I have heard four types of ocean in track one. When I click to start, I hear sea-water lapping against the sea shore gently. The ocean sings a “ sha-la-la-la ” and there is no wind. All I can hear is the patting of water, clear and sweet-sounding.…

Historically, decorative drawings of heraldic dolphins and sea monsters were frequently used to illustrate maps, such as the Carta marina. This practice died away with the advent of modern cartography. Nevertheless, stories of sea monsters and eyewitness accounts which claim to have seen these beasts persist to this day. Such sightings are often cataloged and studied by folklorists and cryptozoologists. Sea serpent reported by Hans Egede, Bishop of Greenland, in 1734. Sea monster accounts are…

any types of body of water and learn how they affect their environment. With this I can research the organisms that live the ocean, and probably find a new species of animals or plants. The salary of a Marine Biologist is not high, but it is not low. The actual salary an average of $51,289 per year. The lifestyle of Marine Biologists is that they usually go out to Oceans and gather samples for the experiment they had created. Also it depends on the environment you are in. If you work at a…
