Sea rise and storms on the Chesapeake Bay

  Global Warming is starting to make visible affects on our local environment. Sea levels are predicted to rise over 2 feet in the next 10 years. A lot of the land around the Chesapeake is very close to sea level so this is make a great impact on the coastlines.

    wow lots of effort into this post! Global warming will rise our ocean levels. and all coastline states will most likely be gone or very trashed

    This is super interesting because my grandparents visit Chesapeake Bay very often. Two feet in 10 years seems really excessive and dangerous.

    I misread this as cheesecake at first. I don't think people understand that 10 years isn't that far away.

    It's important that we are aware this because some people should find a way to prepare for the extra 2 feet of water that will be in the Chesapeake Bay if they live near it.

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
