Common types of marine debris include various plastic items like shopping bags and beverage bottles. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/marine-pollution/]]> 2021-08-31 20:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1708010480 https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1708016923 Flowing between the islands of Moskenesoya and Mosken, it has a treacherous current. About 5 miles wide, alternating in flow between the open sea on the west and Vest Fjord on the east, the current may reach a speed of 7 miles per hour with the changing of the tides, the sea becomes calm in the moments when the tide switches direction]]> 2021-08-31 20:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1708016923 https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1708019477 Applying a new coarse-graining, spatial method of analysis to satellite imagery, scientists provide a direct measure of the impact of wind driven eddy-killing on the kinetic energy of ocean currents -- a continual loss of 50 gigawatts, equivalent to the detonation of a Hiroshima nuclear bomb every 20 minutes, year round. This seems interesting to me, because I didn't even know what 'eddy killing' was, until I read this.]]> 2021-08-31 20:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1708019477 https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1708020023 Dr. Christopher Satow says that a likey cause of volcanic eruptions is the rise and fall of sea levels. Falling sea levels will reduce mass on Earth's crust allowing magma to rise. I think this is instreing because this reaserch can have great impacts on people around the world.

(which is only 3% of oceans water) They found this fresh water off the coast of Malta by the mediterranean sea. They are also out on a lookout in arid or semi-arid regions of the earth for more fresh water since that’s where they seem to find it the most. The rest of the water in the ocean contains salt, therefore it is not water that people should consume as drinking water into their bodies.]]> 2021-08-31 20:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1708021694 https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1710360575 Researchers found 57 hybrid sharks off of the coast of Australia in 5 different areas along a 1,200 mile stretch. the sharks were mixed with common black tip sharks and Australian black tip sharks. Australian black tip sharks are slightly bigger than the common black tip shark and usually prefer warmer tropical water. the hybrid sharks were found 1,200 miles closer to the Antarctic then they normally would be. scientists believe that the sharks are interbreeding to try to keep up with the rising temperatures in the ocean water ]]> 2021-09-01 16:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1710360575 carlosjaime1 https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1711554916 Warming oceans have endangered the north Atlantic whale 
 population forcing them to leave there protective habitat. It now exposes the whales to new threats which include ship strikes and commercial fishing entanglements. scientists conclude that whale populations will decline and potentially become extinct in the coming decades.]]> 2021-09-02 02:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1711554916 randyhuang https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1733036980 Scientists found that tiger sharks are surprisingly social creatures, having preferences for one another even though they are considered a solitary nomadic species. The scientist at University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science  and the Institute of Zoology at the Zoological Society London (ZSL) took this study in the Bahamas and track each shark for the next three years to study the shark location.]]> 2021-09-11 23:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_dwaine/kwu498piedp5/wish/1733036980
