The burning of gas and coal helps to cause global warming, with global warming comes an increase in temperature. The temperature warms up the ocean, which causes the melting of the north pole and the ocean inturn become wider reaching land level.

What are the major specialties within marine science?

Some major specialties within marine science include marine biology (study of marine organisms), oceanography (study of the physical and chemical properties of the ocean), marine ecology (study of marine ecosystems), and marine conservation (efforts to protect ocean environments and species).


What environmental problems that could be cause by tidal barrages?

Tidal barrages can disrupt tidal habitats, alter sediment composition and flow, and change water temperature and salinity levels. These changes can harm marine ecosystems, including fish and other aquatic species that rely on these habitats for breeding and feeding. Additionally, tidal barrages can impact migratory patterns and behavior of marine life, leading to unintended consequences for biodiversity.


Why do we study marine science?

We study marine science to better understand and protect the world's oceans, which are essential to all life on Earth. It helps us address important issues like climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and conservation of marine biodiversity. Studying marine science also provides insights into the relationships between marine ecosystems and human societies.


What does heat from earths interior and pressure from overlying rock transform te remains of marine sediments into?

Heat from Earth's interior and pressure from overlying rock transform the remains of marine sediments into metamorphic rocks, such as slate, marble, or schist. This process, known as metamorphism, causes the minerals in the sediments to recrystallize and reorganize, resulting in a new rock with different properties than the original sediment.


What are marine fossils?

fossils are something like a plant or bone preserved in rock, then when the preserved thing finally decays there is an impression left in the rock. marine fossils are marine animals, plants, or shells (basically anything in the water, hence marine) that are now fossils.
