Summary and Response to Ocean Acidification Article The National Geographic article “Ocean Acidification; Carbon Dioxide is Putting Shelled Animals at Risk‚” argues that the drop in surface pH could have a devastating effect on not only the organisms living in the ocean‚ but the environment that surrounds us. Research has shown that at least half of the carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere has been absorbed by the oceans over time. This has benefited our environment because by

Especially Mexico‚ where is bordered on the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; on the southeast by the Caribbean Sea; and on the east by the Gulf of Mexico. The sustainability of our biosphere significantly relies on the goods and services provided by deep-sea ecosystems. Biodiversity

which the Earth’s land surfaces ( at the time known as the pangea) started slowly breaking apart and drifting away. This has continued until the continents were in the places we know them to be today. This drift has caused the formation of separate oceans instead of one huge one. This drift still continues today. Volcanoes affected the origins of the sea by pouring huge amounts of steam into the atmosphere. This would result in the process of condensation. The volcanoes would pour

The impact of Blue Ocean Strategy In the earlier work (See Blue Ocean Strategy: how to create uncontested market ‚ 2005) it has been argued two types of strategies: blue ocean strategy and red ocean strategy. Red ocean strategists compete to win market share in traditional mature markets and pursue either a differentiation or cost leader strategy. On the other hand‚ Blue ocean strategists‚ create new environments‚ redefine products or services or the nature of competition‚ make competition irrelevant

hasn’t escaped the world’s attention. Ocean acidification however is a much less known issue‚ it is a result of about 79 million tons of CO2 that is released into the atmosphere every single day‚ not just from fossil fuel burning‚ but also from the deforestation of cement‚ and the production of cement. Ever since the beginning of industrial revolution‚ approximately a third of the CO2 let into the atmosphere from anthropogenic reasons got absorbed by the world’s oceans‚ which plays a very big role in controlling

pressure was intense. I needed to equalize; I pushed the air connector on BC-jacket to get a shot from the tank to counteract my sinking‚ letting the air out slowly to descend at a proper rate. I moved one step up‚ two steps down until I touched the ocean floor. The echoed sound of my breathing jolted out of sync with my movements. A thermocline from above and below traveled through my wetsuit. The crackling sound of the air bubbles amplified. The cold water filled to my shoulders and knees. My heart
