How do ships pollute the ocean?

Ships can pollute the ocean through oil spills, waste discharge, and emissions of pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Accidental spills from oil tankers or leaks from ship engines can harm marine ecosystems and wildlife. Additionally, dumping untreated sewage and garbage can introduce harmful bacteria and toxins into the ocean.


Does carbon dioxide pollute water?

Carbon dioxide itself does not directly pollute water in the same way that other pollutants do. However, when carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, which can lead to a decrease in the pH of the water (ocean acidification) and potentially harm aquatic life.

Describe the differences in the ways the sand castle is changed by an ocean wave and by Dylan stomping on it?

An ocean wave erodes the sand castle gradually over time, smoothing out edges and reshaping it. Dylan stomping on the sand castle causes immediate destruction, breaking it apart and altering its shape abruptly.


What best explains the difference in temperature between the ocean and the sand?

The difference in temperature between the ocean and the sand is primarily due to the difference in their heat absorption capacities. Water has a higher specific heat capacity compared to sand, so it heats up and cools down more slowly. As a result, the ocean retains heat for longer periods of time compared to sand, leading to differences in temperature between the two.
