The Earth is Eating its Own Oceans

https://www.livescience.com/64091-earth-is-eating-its-oceans.html

Out of all the problems we have right now, we now have another one. According to research. "At earthquake-prone subduction zones, where tectonic plates dive beneath one another, massive amounts of sea water are dragged into the planet's interior..."  So isn't that lovely? To be fairly honest, this is such a huge problem, I don't even know how we could possibly fix this. Think of the impact this could have on places that depend on sea water, or people that live close to bodies of sea water. Even marine life can be negatively impacted.

    With the sea water going down it could be great because sea levels are rising so it could be good. But when we need the water back it would be bad because lots could go wrong and lots of sea animals could die out

      Yea at first I was thinking this could potentially help places like New York with the rising water but there's no evidence saying it would just stop.

    This is crazy to think about. I also don't know how it could be fixed. This issue really could potentially be dangerous for both people on the coast and sea animals.

    This a quiet scary that we are losing water from plates moving. There is like no way to stop this. How is this happening for the first time, is interesting to me. Very scary stuff for areas and species that rely on this.

    Scary, I wonder if this could possibly create whirlpools or increase natural disasters?

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
