"Just Keep Swimming Just Keep Swimming Swimming"


"Just Keep Swimming Just Keep Swimming Swimming" but how far can you swim? The Ocean seems like a bottomless pit. Yet it really is! The bottom of the ocean is sinking. How? You might ask well for many of reasons. One is the earths crust. Think of the earths crust as a trampoline, without pressure the trampoline stays flat but with pressure the trampoline bends and sinks down the more pressure you add the deeper it sinks. That is how the earths crust works. As global warming, and hurricanes becomes more popular, more water is pushed into the ocean as a result the ocean gets deeper. Studies have shown that the ocean floor has decreased by 2 cm but is that all? No one knows for sure how far the oceans floor has sank but now that it has been brought to our attention I know scientists will sink to the bottom of this! ;)

    This is a very cool topics. We thought that the ocean was super far down but with all these disasters worldwide the ocean might one day be a bottomless pit.

    That's interesting! It could prove that not only do humans have an effect on the environment, but the environment also has an impact on itself.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
