Discussion Section-1 November 17‚ 2011 The other CO₂ Problem Todays oceans are not the same as they once were prior to the industrial revolution. The ocean serves as a reservoir for the worlds green house gasses. The increase in anthropogenic CO₂ has also resulted in an increase in the uptake by the ocean of CO₂. As a result of this uptake‚ the ocean is becoming progressively more and more acidic. This acidification of the ocean is expected to have great impacts on marine ecosystems. Coral reefs

Stacy Servoss Ms. Hines Eng. 090-D01 15 July‚ 2013 The Effects the Moon Has On the Ocean Tide The moon’s gravity affects tides on the earth. The sun and moon together pull on the earth’s oceans in different directions to create tides. But there are several other factors that complicate this process. Friction is the earth’s rotation and axis tilt on the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth. This forces push on the earth’s atmosphere‚ creating high tides and low tides. The gravity

Currently in society‚ many individuals consider blue-collar workers unintelligent and uneducated. Blue-collar workers are seen in this perspective because of their hands on jobs in which many individuals assume that intelligence is not required. “Our cultural iconography promotes the muscled arm‚ sleeve rolled right against biceps‚ but no brightness behind the eye‚ no image that links hand and brain.” (Rose 98) In Mike Rose’s text‚ he explains how being a blue-collar worker does not mean an individual

decrease) in salinity around the equator? Could it not be argued that higher temperature causes more evaporation from the ocean surface‚ which‚ in turn‚ results in higher salinity content? Figure 9.4 shows how the surface temperature of the ocean and the surface salinity change with latitudinal position. Salinity the measure of the concentration of dissolved salts in the ocean water. Salinity influences where plants and animals can thrive‚ and also affects aspects of water quality and treatment

Ocean OverfishingNicole HarrisENV/320June 23‚ 2014Frederick GrossOcean Overfishing Overfishing is a problem that occurs when fish are caught faster than they can reproduce. This is a problem that has been occurring for centuries and continues to be a problem today. Commercial fishing has driven many fish species to the brink of extinction. A scientific report done in 2003 estimates that industrial fishing “has reduced the number of large ocean fish to just 10-percent of their pre-industrial

The oceans cover about seventy-one percent of the world. Of that seventy-one percent‚ we have explored less than five percent. Oceanic exploration has been happening for hundreds of years. The ocean is a major part of people’s everyday life . Ocean exploration has been‚ is‚ and will be beneficial for everyone. “Underwater exploration was once limited to the span of time a diver could hold his or her breath. For centuries people dreamed of extending that time.” (National Geographic 2016). In 1797

ecologically crucial habitats. The key process that has resulted in this extensive damage to coral reefs is termed ocean acidification‚ which is defined as the increase in oceanic acidity as a result of the uptake of atmospheric CO₂. Over the past 200 years‚ more than 30% of all CO₂ that has been emitted to the atmosphere as a result of anthropogenic activity has been absorbed by the oceans (Anthony et al. 2008). Such drastic changes in oceanic pH are having multiple adverse impacts upon coral reefs
