World Ocean

Effects of a Toxic Ocean Earth has gone through various changes in climate over the span of its existence. These changes are natural and healthy for the environment. Recently, however, there has been a fluctuation in climate, not caused by the inner workings of the earth. Humans have created many different substances that provide many uses such as packaging and a lightweight, cheap building material. An example of this is plastic; it is a very useful tool, but it has its downfalls. Plastic…

most diverse ecosystems in the world, providing habitat “for 25 percent of all marine species” (Lubofsky 28), and they are being threatened by ocean acidification. Ocean acidification is “the decline in seawater’s pH” (DeCarlo 33) due to rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. The excess CO2 dissolves in the ocean and becomes corrosive carbonic acid. Corals and other shell-producing organisms rely on calcium carbonate in the ocean to produce new shell, but if the ocean becomes too acidic, there…

Why Doesn’t The Ocean Freeze? There is popular belief that the ocean never freezes. The ocean is saltier away from rivers because rivers put freshwater into the ocean. Salt percentages can have either good or bad influences on marine life. Almost anything, including…

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 reefs even help coastal states make money by generating revenue from…

the amount of garbage that is in the ocean. Out of all the trash found in the ocean the majority of it is pieces of plastic. Mary Crowley is an environmental activist and the captain of the ship Kaisei, which means ocean planet. Crowley is also one of the founders of Project Kaisei. This foundation working to find out how much trash is actually in the ocean, how that is effecting the marine life, and how to reduce the amount of trash going into the ocean. What Crowley finds is shocking, but…

encountering increments in ocean ice degree. However in others, ocean ice is diminishing, with quantifiable effects on untamed life. ASOC trusts that understanding environmental change impacts on Antarctica involves basic significance for the world and for the landmass itself. Neighborhood Antarctic impacts of environmental change are just piece of the issue.…

century and a half pollution has been increasing at an exponential rate in the World. This pollution negatively impacts all inhabitants of the Earth, but often times the destruction of the ocean is overlooked. One of the biggest issues that the ocean is facing is ocean dead zones. Ocean dead zones are increasing rapidly due to pollution and environmental damage caused by humans. This paper will be discussing what an ocean dead zone is, what are the sources of pollution that create dead zones,…

cares about it. The Ocean is the largest ecosystem on earth and also one of the less explored ecosystems. The Ocean should be explored by all means, Exploring the ocean will lead to the answer of many worldwide problems. As just stated the ocean is one of the lesser explored ecosystem, so much that we know more about the moon than the ocean. Don't believe me? 3 people have been to the bottom of the ocean while 12 people…

animals in the ocean and on land in many more ways than we can think, also, how important it is for us to know about the world around us, and how we should know what’s good for our Earth and the animals that live in the ocean and on land. Many animals in the ocean are injured each year, and some even killed due to the litter in the ocean. Even if you didn’t litter in the ocean, wind can cause it fall in the ocean. Further, there is only so much we can do to help the animals in the ocean.…

The way we neglect our ocean with heavy amounts of pollution can potentially affect our lives in a negative manner. Driving cars and the use of plastic is essential to our daily lives, but we use them without the concern for how they are affecting the habitats on Earth. Some people think that the chance that they are doing harm to the ocean is less important to them than cost or inconvenience of fixing a pollution problem. Through sources from researchers and scientists, they have found evidence…
