How do people couse ocean pllotion?
People cause ocean pollution in a number of ways. They do this by releasing toxic gases and burning fossils fuels that rain down into the ocean. People also litter the beaches.
How do ocean currents originate and affect Earths climates?
How are atmospheric gases like the glass in a greenhouse
Is the Earth getting Warmer and Why?
Well it all starts with Greenhouse gases i.e. Carbon dioxide, Methane, water vapour etc. When the sunshine's, the ocean and the plants absorbs it, then it releases it. But, that was before. Now the earth is also releasing greenhouse gases by deforestation and burning fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases trap extra energy from the sun. So if the ocean and plants absorb 100 joules and then lets out 100 joules, because of the greenhouse gases only about 75 joules will actually be let out of the earths atmosphere. The remaining 25 joules will be trapped in the earths atmosphere.
What is the biggest cause of marine pollution?
Oil spills is the biggest cause of marine pollution. An oil spill can devastate and area of the ocean. Factories are another major cause of marine pollution.
Does pollution effect the Indian ocean?
It does, it also causes diseases and if it is polluted to long it will explode from all the gases.
Does nuclear waste cause ocean pollution?
Nuclear waste pollution can cause people and animals to suffer and most likely die from its poisons
Is H20 a greenhouse gas?
No actually water is quite the opposite of a grrenhouse gas. Water acts like a giant sink that collects all the greenhouse gases in the air and buries it in the ocean. This is not very good for the fish and other animals that live in the sea becouse the gases that the water collects can poison the animals. This happens the same way that humans can get sick becouse of the dirty air. Sea animals breathe the water through their gills and the greenhouse gases that are in the water poison the animals.
Why is the ocean so dark when water is supposed to be clear?
The cause is mostly from pollution
How would greenhouse gas emissions harm ocean creatures?
Greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO2) are absorbed by the ocean. This is turning the oceans acidic (carbonic acid). This damages corals (by bleaching) and makes it difficult for shellfish to grow shells that are as strong as before.
What do the water cycle earth's shape and tilt ocean currents global winds greenhouse gases and natural events all have in common?
They have in common that they have to do with natural.
Can water pollution cause global warming?
The role of water in the Global CLimate Change process is very complex. Water vapour is a greenhouse gas, so it is part of the greenhouse gas content of the atmosphere. Water has several impacts on the climate: * As vapour it causes heat absorption, when it condenses into clouds it reflects sunlight back into space (increases the Earth's albedo) * As snow or ice, water reflects more sunlight than open water cooling the Earth. As open water it both absorbs heat and warms the oceans affecting the flow of Earths ocean currents, which in turn affect continental climates. * The warmer it gets, the more water there is in the atmosphere. This causes the snowfall and precipitation to increase.
What is the number one cause of ocean pollution in New Jersey?
For many decades, the area used the ocean as their private dumping ground for garbage. This has caused thousands of tons od pollution to be added to the Atlantic.
