The Causes: Effects of Ozone Depletion Cody Tate Buena Vista University Author Note “Prepared for Laura Brauhn’s Globalism Seminar” Abstract This paper will explore what exactly ozone depletion is. It will talk about the definition of ozone depletion and what some of the things are that causes it. This paper will connect global warming with ozone depletion. This paper will give you examples of both biological and environmental. The main thing this paper will talk about is verification

Ozone Depletion: An Introduction Planet Earth has its own natural sunscreen that shields us from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet radiation. It’s called the ozone layer: a fragile band of gases beginning 15 kilometres above our planet‚ and reaching up to the 40-kilometre level. Human activities have caused a substantial thinning of this protective covering — not only over the North and South Poles‚ but right over our heads. Stopping ozone layer depletion is one of the major challenges facing the

enough sunlight to support life. There are tiny forms of life called as phytoplankton‚ which are tiny plant forms‚ and zooplankton‚ which are tiny animal forms. Those tiny forms of life lead to bigger animals’ life such as fish‚ which feed from those planktons. The profundal zone is beneath the limnetic zone‚ where it doesn’t receive light to sustain plants’ life. The organisms that die from above this zone settle down and are being eaten by decomposers. Because ponds and lakes are isolated from other

Coral & Coral Reefs Introduction Coral needs light to thrive and grow‚ but they grow faster in clean water. The largest coral reef in the world is the Great Barrier Reef located off north western Australia. This reef covers 135‚000 square miles. There are a wide variety of coral. They all have unbelievable fun facts‚ unusual habitats‚ unique characteristics‚ and interesting behaviors. Fun Facts There are many unbelievable fun facts about coral. Coral are small creatures‚ that often

related. If anything change occurs in one part of an environment ‚ then the whole environment will be affected. For example if the population of plankton in a marine area goes extinct so will its consumers the zooplankton die and so will the other fish that eat the zoo plankton such as crustaceans . Marine life could not exist without plankton . Scientist often times use ecological models to help them represent parts of an ecosystem and to help them understand environmental interactions

Growing our own Garbage Patch Jessica R. Willard City University Growing our Garbage Patch Planet Earth is comprised of approximately 75% water. 96% of that 75% is all ocean water. The ocean is actually one very large body of water that is divided up into different smaller oceans. The large body of water is called “The World Ocean” and the individual smaller oceans are “The Pacific Ocean”‚ “The Indian Ocean”‚” The Arctic Ocean”‚ and” The Atlantic Ocean.” In the past‚ oceans have been viewed

depletion of a species of fish to the level of extinction. This may not seem like such a major problem. However if a type of fish species was to become extinct it would result in a domino effect. The producers‚ which are photosynthetic organisms like plankton‚ have a key role in the food chain as they the base and all of the energy for the system comes from them. These producers are then eaten by the consumers like small fish. These small fish aren’t always the fish which are hunted by humans but they
