Oceanography

The plain answer is that they end when they run out of energy. So they simply stop then.

But there are all kinds of whirlpools caused by all kinds of things. Which means there are all kinds of ways whirlpools can get and lose their energies.

For example, there are whirlpools in your bathroom sink when you open the drain. They stop when the water is gone from the sink and so there is no longer a force of gravity acting on water to cause the whirlpools.

There are whirlpools in the wake of a ship. They're called eddies, but they are still whirlpools. They stop when the ship stops because they were getting their energies from the ship's motion. Similarly there are whirlpools in running streams and rivers, they might stop if there is a change in flow or the river runs dry.

So there you are. Whirlpools stop when they run out of energy.

because water is life. man can survive only over 1 week without food but without water man can only last for 3 days. that means water is essential for human beings and not just water but clean fresh water. just like man, water is essential also for plants and animals so without clean water, life will be impossible on earth.

The two most important trace gases in the atmosphere are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). These gases contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect and have a major impact on global warming and climate change.

The dissolved oxygen in water is essential for the survival of aquatic organisms as they rely on it for respiration. Adequate levels of dissolved oxygen support healthy ecosystems by promoting biodiversity and maintaining the overall balance of the aquatic environment. Monitoring and maintaining dissolved oxygen levels is crucial in preserving water quality and supporting aquatic life.

What do you mean "Use oceans?" Like, fishing? Travel? Defense?

We use the oceans for many reasons. The oceans are a good source of fish, thus bringing in revenue. They also are amazing vacation destinations, and if you are shipping large quantities of something overseas you use the ocean for transport. (I.E. Oil going from the Persian Gulf to America, Europe. Chinese-made prducts being shipped to the USA.)

The real question is, why don't we use the oceans more? They offer plenty of energy, water (If we can desalinize it), and space to build homes. The US government has an oceanic exploration division, similar to NASA, called NOAH. I is largley underfunded, much to the anger of many people. The oceans should be the first place we explore, as it is likely more economical than space.

Nitorgen is the most abumdant dissolved gas in Seawater, at about 48%. The upper layers of ocean water are usually saturated with nitorgen gas.

The Dead Sea is approximately 997 feet (304 meters) deep at its deepest point, which is located in the northern basin. The depth of the sea can vary slightly due to factors such as evaporation and salt content.

Marine snow is a shower of organic and inorganic particles that drifts through the ocean and settles on the seafloor. It is made up of a variety of materials, including dead plankton, fecal matter, and other debris, and plays a crucial role in transporting nutrients and carbon to deep-sea ecosystems.

46. Water is added to the earth's oceans by:

First the water goes through a never-ending cycle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Energy from sunlight causes molecules to evaporate from the surface of a body of water. These molecules become part of the air in the form of water vapor. As air rises in the atmosphere, it cools. The loss of heat causes water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, forming clouds. If the droplets or crystals grow and become heavy enough, they fall as precipitation that can come in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Precipitation falls on mountains, melts, and runs into lakes and rivers, which leads to the oceans.

Summarized Process:

1.Water evaporates from bodies of water

2.Water vapor condenses to form clouds

3.Water falls to earth's surface as precipitation

A maritime polar air mass is a weather system that forms over cold ocean waters. It is characterized by its moisture content and cool temperatures. When this air mass moves over land, it can bring cooler and damp weather conditions.

Erosion of beaches typically occurs during stormy seasons, such as winter, when strong waves and high tides can cause significant erosion. Additionally, beaches are more vulnerable to erosion under conditions of high wave energy, limited sand supply, and decreased vegetation cover.

One way to convert saltwater into freshwater is through the process of desalination. This process involves removing salt and other impurities from seawater to make it potable. Methods of desalination include distillation, reverse osmosis, and electrodialysis.

Coral can be dead if it has lost its living tissue and bleach, usually due to stress events like rising water temperatures. However, dead coral structures can still provide important habitats for other marine organisms.

High spots formed as new seafloor is created are known as seamounts or underwater mountains. These features are often formed by volcanic activity or tectonic movement along mid-ocean ridges. Seamounts can vary in size and shape, with some rising thousands of feet from the ocean floor.

Volcanoes can be harmful because they cause very dangerous shifting of objects. it can also be dangerous if it erupts.
Even so many families chose to live near volcanoes, in places such as Italy, because the soil is good for planting crops.

A winkle is a type of sea snail with a spiral-shaped shell. It is commonly found along rocky shorelines and feeds on algae and other small organisms by scraping them off rocks with its specialized tongue-like appendage called a radula. Winkles are also consumed as seafood in some cultures.

Producers that live in rivers and streams include algae, aquatic plants, and phytoplankton. These organisms use sunlight to photosynthesize and create energy for the ecosystem. They form the base of the food chain in freshwater environments.

Reef Balls are prefabricated, designed, artificial reef modules used in over 60 countries to rehabilitation oceanic ecosystems such as coral reefs, fishing reefs, mangroves estuaries, and other biological marine communities. They were developed by the Reef Ball Foundation, an international environmental non-profit organization and can be purchased from authorized contractors around the world or molds can be obtained from the Reef Ball Foundation for local production and projects.

Reef Balls features a pH neutralized concrete, specialized surface textures, numerous side holes and a large central void in a concrete unit designed to remain stable in oceanic conditions while minimizing costs and handling requirements. They can be floated into position using an internal bladder system that is supplied with the mold systems. Reef Balls are also commonly used to control beach and shoreline erosion while creating biological habitat.

There have been hundreds of scientific studies proving the benefits of Reef Balls are they are the most widely used designed artificial reef system in the world. Over one half a million Reef Ball modules have been deployed in over 4,000 projects.

The Reef Ball Foundation also supplies without charge a complete manual for reef rehabilitation which is available on their website. For further information, please visit www.reefball.org

An estuarine flood occurs when water levels in an estuary rise significantly, typically due to a combination of high tides, storm surges, and heavy rainfall. This can result in inundation of low-lying areas, causing damage to infrastructure, habitats, and potentially threatening human safety. Estuarine floods can also lead to saltwater intrusion into freshwater systems, affecting water quality and ecosystems.

Because they were once part of the same landmass and then split and drifted apart. The eastern coastline of South America and the western coastline of Africa are also not part of any active tectonic collision processes, thus except for the normal geologic processes of erosion and deposition, they tend to remain relatively the same over long periods of time.

Water is found in every ocean on Earth. It covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, and oceans contain saltwater which make up their unique ecosystems.

People could pollute the smallest lake the most quickly. These lakes vary in size from specific location to another location.

At a distance of 4100 kilometers on the ocean bottom, you would encounter the Mariana Trench, the deepest known oceanic trench. This trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean, reaching a maximum known depth of about 11,034 meters (36,201 feet) at the Challenger Deep.

Sylvia Earle was born on August 30, 1935, in Gibbstown, New Jersey, USA. She is a renowned marine biologist, explorer, author, and conservationist known for her extensive work in oceanography and marine conservation.
