World Ocean

nearly the same rate of carbon dioxide from the ocean and the atmosphere as land plants do. However, others argue that both of these can have severe consequences and possibly cause more harm. “Washing carbon out of the air” by Klaus Lackner is about machines that could help reduce and possibly…

to many plants and animals within its many oceans and three different levels. Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, Southern, and Indian are the five main oceans on this planet. Each ocean is separated into three levels, known as euphotic, disphotic, and aphotic. The euphotic zone is also known as the sunlight zone, this is the top layer of the ocean and it receives almost all of the sun's rays. The next section is called the disphotic zone. This layer of the ocean is a little too deep for much sunlight to…

Oceans of Pollution is written by Dahr Jamail a journalist from America. He wrote this article to inform the public about how serious the pollution in oceans is getting and just how fast it is growing. The use of logical statistics and quotes show that Jamail has put research into this article to make sure the facts are true. With the amount of people doing research and tracking the dead zones around the world there should be more that humans can do to help with the problem, yet still the…

Imagine a world where instead of cool, crisp rivers, there were hazardous, burnt coffee colored bodies of water. The air we breathe and the water we drink are considered very important to every living organism in the world; unfortunately, humans using more and more of the earth’s resources, which results in the deterioration of them. Water resources are necessary for human survival, but our constant pollution of them will result in its end. The only solution is for change; America must cut back…

There are many contributing factors that have lead up to a depletion our our ocean fish. As our underwater wildlife ecosystem decreases, we keep moving backwards with fisheries overfishing and diminishing the underwater wildlife. Overfishing occurs when there is a popular fishing area constantly being fished out to the point where the reproduction cycle can't keep up. Recent studies have shown that overfishing has exploited 52% of fish stock (subpopulations of a particular species of fish). More…

helped him against the evil fishermen but when they tried to go down in the deep ocean, there was evil security tour submarines with harpoon bombs. They thought the sharks were going to attack the tour submarine but, they were just going down to see the king shark ‘The Great Megalodon’ “You know, you need to be respectful to the king of sharkville.” said the Mako shark. “Okay” said Adrian as they zoomed down the ocean like someone threw a rock in water and it sank. In the village they taught…

grizzly bear went extinct in 1924. And on the topic of extinction humans are causing the sixth mass extinction. The more co2 we release the acidic the ocean becomes through a process called ocean acidification where ocean water becomes carbonic acid.This happen because as we create more factories and drive more cars the more we release co2 and the ocean absorbs about 25% of carbon The annual extinction rate is 100 species for every one million and can be up to 10,000 species in the future.This…

Why are the oceans in trouble? They can no longer absorb the damage inflicted by the 7 billion people on Earth. Over many decades, the human race has overfished key species to near extinction, and polluted them with carbon dioxide emissions, toxic chemicals, garbage, and discarded plastics. A groundbreaking new study, recently published in Science, warned that our oceans are being irreparably damaged by human activity and could be on "the precipice of a major extinction event." Coral reefs,…

activity are not only affecting the environment but also that oceans all around the world. This of course partially has to do with the overall warming of the planet caused by climate change. But, over time most of this carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is being absorbed by the ocean, where it then reacts with the seawater and forms an acid that is corrosive to coral reefs, shellfish, as well as a plethora of other sea life. This is known as ‘ocean acidification’. Coral reefs are most vulnerable…

dumped into the ocean. By this time tomorrow, 5000 people will have died from drinking contaminated water. Do you want to be remembered as part of the species that killed the earth? At this rate, that’s how it’s going to become. Over 30 billion tons of urban sewage is dumped into lakes, rivers and oceans every year! According to Food and Water Watch, approximately 3.5 billion people in 2025 will face water shortage issues. That’s almost half of today’s population! All over the world, pollution…
