In the article‚ “Oceans Are Losing Oxygen—and Becoming More Hostile to Life” by Craig Welch‚ climate change is affecting the lives of all kinds of sea creatures. This article explains how climate change‚ and the warming of ocean water‚ has began taking oxygen out of the water. This means that many fish species have shrunk because of this loss of oxygen. The warmer water speeds up the metabolism of these fish‚ which makes them breathe in more of the oxygen. A couple of scientists from the University

Ocean acidification is the continuous reduction of the ocean’s pH‚ carbonate ion concentration‚ and saturation states of biological calcium carbonate minerals. Ocean acidification is caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. According to “Ocean Acidification: The Other CO2 Problem‚” after the industrial revolution‚ carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere has increased nearly 40%‚ primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation (Doney S. 2009). The increase of

The Jews observed the decadence of the Sumerians as a cause of cultural diffusion‚ and wanted to make sure that same thing would not happen to them. Eventually‚ the Jews did become vulnerable to cultural diffusion around the 4th century CE when the Greek-Macedonians from the West came; the great and

article‚ “Columbus‚ the Indians‚ and Human Progress‚ Dr. Howard Zinn argues that there is another perspective to consider as to Christopher Columbus’ adventures. Dr. Howard Zinn’s position is that history books have omissions of slavery‚ death and innocent bloodshed that accompanied the adventures of Christopher Columbus. In the following statements Dr. Howard Zinn describes his perspective; “The writer began the history‚ five hundred years ago‚ of the European invasion of the Indian Settlement in the

Conclusion The chemical changes in ocean acidification is known to be caused by an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere‚ resulting in the lowering of the pH making water more acidic‚ an increase in dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ a reduction in the concentration of carbonate ions and an increase in bicarbonate ions. The oceans are currently taking up about one ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) associated with human activities per year. Almost half of the carbon dioxide

it adds little value in explaining to route so success. 2. most fundamental assumption of the Blue Ocean theory is that industry’s conditions can be shaped by a firm’s efforts. The red ocean describes a situation where existing industry rules are readily formed‚ static and cannot be changed. While the possible occurrence of a blue ocean encourages the creativity and learning‚ the red ocean claims that learning is ineffective in such situation. The assumptions behind the two are therefore not

Abstract Blue Ocean strategy is a consistent pattern of strategic thinking behind the creation of new markets and industries where demand is created rather than fought for and the rule of competition is irrelevant. This paper proposes a methodology to implement the Blue Ocean Strategy in a privately owned Malaysia industrial firm struggling in a very competitive market using different tools and techniques such as value curves‚ strategy canvas‚ six path method‚ four actions framework. The results

Riordan Continuity Project Plan Introduction The Business Continuity plan will help prepare Riordan Manufacturing to continue business operations in the event of extended service outages that may affect all aspects of the business. These factors may be caused by event beyond Riordan’s control (i.e. natural or man-made disasters). This plan will outline necessary steps to restore business operations to the broadest extent possible and in a minimum time frame. All Riordan locations are expected

American Indians have been around for more than 15‚000 years. Although Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492‚ there were already people living in what is now called the United States. During the 1800s‚ American Indians had to deal with all the immigrants from Europe “invading their land”. The Native Americans tried to resist relocation due to the Westward Expansion‚ but because of reduced population through disease and warfare and assimilation with the immigrants‚ they didn’t have much
