The Ocean – A Natural Laboratory
Ocean: A vast, continuously moving body of salt water that covers 71 percent of Earth’s surface. Oceans supply the world with half of its oxygen and play an important role in transferring heat from the Equator to the poles. Evaporation from the oceans’ surface also brings rain to many places on the planet. While oceanographers […]

Climate Change refers to the increase of average Earth temperatures due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and agricultural land clearing. These activities create greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere and cause Earth’s temperature to rise. Climate change threatens the world’s health, food supply, water quality, and biodiversity. It’s also […]
