  • 1 Degree C Per Meter Ocean Water
    4,149 words
    - The pump found in the tropical oceans is responsible for the movement of air and the surface ocean over most of the globe. The energy source that drives this pump is solar radiation from the sun. - The second pump is the deep ocean circulation which is also driven by the sun. - The third pump is the heating of the earth's interior by radioactive decay and radiation of heat causes plate tectonics and continents to move. This long term pump has ceased in Mars. - The winds and ocean currents redi...
  • Shallow Water Waves Wind
    409 words
    Savage Seas The Wave Machine The wave machine is a simulator that will allow you to create an ocean wave and determine its height. Most ocean waves are formed when the wind blows across the water's surface. The wave height is determined by three factors: wind speed, fetch, and duration. Wind Speed In 1805, Sir Francis Beaufort, observing the effects of wind speed upon the sea, devised the Beaufort Wind Scale. Though wind speed is not the only factor in determining wave size, the Beaufort scale r...

  • Warm Current Of Water El Ni
    3,101 words
    So What is an El Ni~no, Anyway? A non-technical description An El Ni~no is a temporary change in the climate of the Pacific ocean, in the region around the equator. You can see its effects in both the ocean and atmosphere, generally in Northern Hemisphere winter. Typically, the ocean surface warms up by a few degrees celsius. At the same time, the place where hefty thunderstorms occur on the equator moves eastward. Although those might seem like small differences, it nevertheless can have big ef...
  • Ocean Currents
    1,350 words
    Two-thirds of our planet is covered with oceans. The Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian, and the Artic are the world's major oceans. They were formed by a series of geological processes that continue to affect the Earth. Seven main parts, called plates, make up the Earth's mantle layer and crust. The plates fit together millions of years ago, and are constantly moving (at a slow pace-like a fingernail grows) over a layer of squishy, soft rock called asthenosphere that lies beneath the crust. Magm...
  • Global Ocean's Deep Water
    579 words
    Cold water discovered in the subtropical Atlantic was brought there by a current which had originated in the polar region; temperature measurements in the real ocean and computer models show there is a southward outflow of cold deep water from the Arctic throughout the Atlantic. This cold water is replaced by warm surface waters, which gradually give off their heat to the atmosphere as they flow northward towards Europe. This acts as a massive heating system for all the land downwind. The heat r...

There are two different kinds of food in the ocean, such as marine ...
  • Problem Of Global Warming On The Oceans
    1,712 words
    Water takes up a larger percentage of the surface of our Earth than does land. The earth's oceans are vital aspects to our environment and it is necessary that we take care of them. On another note, global warming is an issue that is having effects on almost all aspects of our environment. Global warming itself means a gradual increase in the temperature of our Earth's atmosphere over large periods of time. There is evidence that global warming has occurred in the atmosphere, however, now we are...
  • Water In The Oceans

    Oceans Earth is the only planet in the Solar System that has liquid water. The ocean contains ninety seven percent of the earth's water and covers almost three quarters of the planet. There are four different oceans, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and the Arctic. Tides and currents occur in all three of these oceans. Many different kinds of fish and mammals also make their homes in these oceans. All of these oceans are connected to each other in some way. Humans find oceans to be very interestin...

    Sand Pebbles Always Make A Zuma Summer It was a sunny Friday afternoon when I decided to take my observations with me out into the world. I find that my imagination wanders off on its own and takes trips to the ocean without me so I figured my body had some catching up to do. With a snap of my fingers and a short ride through the canyon I found myself at my childhood playground, Zuma Beach. Without hesitation I laid my towel down upon the tiny grains and chips of rocks that the oceans might has ...

    Environment Report: Tidal Power In The Bay of Fundy Prepared for Bill AndrsonProfessor at St. Lawrence College for Environmental Science. By November 22, 1996 INTRODUCTION The Bay of Fundy, which is found off the shores of Nova Scotia, has the highest tides in the world. Extraordinary tides occur when the tidal wave length is two to four times the length of the Bay. By virtue of blind luck or physics, the tide is amplified into a standing wave, like water sloshing in a bathtub. For a breaking wa...

    Pollution People have long used the sea as a dump for our wastes. Most of the pollution dumped into the ocean comes from human activities on land.

There are different types of pollution. One of them is natural pollutants. An example would be a volcanic eruption which can produce immense quantities of ca...

There are four components with...
  • Pristine Waters Of Gunnamatta Ocean Beach
    664 words
    Dear Mr Bracks, Last Saturday I had the misfortune to ride perfect waves at Gunnamatta Beach. I say misfortune, despite the fact that the surf was excellent, because I spent the rest of the week in bed with a mystery illness caught in the pristine waters of Gunnamatta ocean beach. I know this because other surfers who come from the Mornington Peninsula have also displayed similar symptoms. This "mysterious illness" was caused by the Boags rock wastewater outlet, which must be closed down. Like m...
  • Ocean Water

    In this poem the author, Adrienne Rich, speaks in first person about diving into the ocean to explore shipwreck remains. In the beginning she arms herself with her diving gear while alone on the deck of a sun-flooded schooner. She proceeds to crawl down the side of the schooner on a ladder, rung after rung, into the ocean water. Then once she is immersed in the water she goes down to explore the wreck following the beam of her lamp. Seeing evidence of damage caused by the ocean, conditions such ...
