Sea Level Differences

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/why-sea-level-rise-varies-place-place   ARTICLE



Sea level rises in different areas due to earths gravity, temperature, and the way it spins. The warmer the sea is the more water is produced due to molecules taking up more area. Tectonic plates alter land and make the water level rise when they shift. Earths rotation affects the amount of water in the sea by making the north side of the earth go counterclockwise and the south go clockwise. Water begins to get pushed through currents to one side, so this causes a side to have more sea water than the outside of the current.

    It is interesting that sea levels can vary in different areas. I would have thought the entire area would be the same, but really both sides of a current could be different.

      I never knew that the sea levels were different around the world. It's interesting what causes this like when the water is warmer it takes up more space from the molecules.

    Include a response/implications... why is it a big deal that sea levels vary? For instance, I immediately wondered if this has skewed data that is used to support climate change arguments.

    That is so cool but also scary... you could be swimming in a shallow part of the ocean and all of the sudden be swimming in the same depth that sharks swim in. Maybe this has an effect on hurricanes and what category storm they are

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
