Shown In Figure Surface Of The Earth
1,655 wordsThe oceans are said to be the source of life. The enormous, blue, calm oceans are the signatures of the planet earth. They cover nearly three-fourths of the surface of the earth. This is equal to 71 percent of the earths entire surface or about 361 million sq km (140 million sq mi). Its average depth is 5000 m (16, 000 ft), and its total volume is about 1, 347, 000, 000 cu km (322, 300, 000 cu mi). This includes the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. These oceans are bordered by the continent...

Million Years Ago Gulf Of Mexico
1,898 wordsIntroduction What is the oceans role in climate? The oceans play a vital and pivotal role in the distribution of life sustaining water throughout our planet. 86 % of the evaporation that occurs on earth is over the oceans. The oceans are the planets largest reservoir of water transferring huge amounts of water around the hydrological cycle. In fact the oceans dominate the hydrological cycle, for they contain 97 % of the global water inventory. The hydrological cycle can be disrupted by changes i...

Natural Greenhouse Effect Carbon Dioxide
1,107 wordsGlobal warming is sometimes refereed to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earths surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to become warmer. The greenhouse effect is what is causing the temperature on the Earth to rise, and it is creating many problems that will begin to occur in the near future. For the last 10, 000 years, the Earths climate has been extraordinarily beneficial to mankind. Human...

Gene Pool Northern Hemisphere
1,207 wordsIntroduction It is unlikely that any family of fish has received as much attention as the Salmoninae. Many have a particularly heart-felt interest in the Salmoninae (trout, salmon, and char) because they love to fish. But man often destroys that which he loves, and the Salmoninae are no exception to this phenomenon. Exploitation of these fish has led to the extinction of certain species in some areas, but the attempt to preserve our valued fisheries has resulted in extensive research on the Salm...

Millions Of Years Ozone Layer
1,312 wordsMy views of the environment are rooted in my belief in creation. I do not believe that life on earth began spontaneously, nor do I believe that the earth is so delicately balanced. I don? t believe that the earth and its ecosystem are fragile. Many radical environmentalists do, they believe man can come along, all by themselves and change everything for worse. After hundreds of millions of years, they believe that we are the last two generations of human existence. And they think we can destroy ...

Northern Hemisphere Food Shortage
875 wordsThe gray whale decline has been an eminent problem for many decades. There are numerous reasons for the gray whales to be in decline. Some of these reasons include the whale hunting that occurred in the mid 1860 s into the early 1870 s on the coast of California (Jones, pg. 173). There are, to this day, two countries that continue to ignore the whale moratorium (Busch, pg. 103). Another reason is the dead gray whales washing up on the shores of the West Coast, which is probably due to their food...

Stratospheric Ozone Ozone Layer
2,496 wordsThe Atmospheric Ozone Layer The stratospheric ozone layer exists at altitudes between about 10 and 40 km depending on latitude, just above the tropopause. Its existence is crucial for life on earth as we know it, because the ozone layer controls the absorption of a portion of the deadly ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. UV-A rays, including wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm, are not affected by ozone. UV-C rays between 200 and 280 nm, are absorbed by the other atmospheric constituents besides...
