Water And Oceanography
By: D. Vogt
After the earthquake and tsunami disasters which occurred in Southeast Asia in 2004 and Japan in 2011, the relationship between earthquakes and tsunamis has become both a subject of great popular concern and new scientific research. In coastal regions, tsunamis caused by earthquakes can cause...

Earthquakes and tsunamis are closely related. All tsunamis are caused by massive deep-level water displacement, which is most common during subduction and megathrust earthquakes under the ocean floor. A tsunami cannot result from a land-based earthquake unless it causes a landslide into a nearby body...

Ocean acidification is the process by which the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. The oceans have regulated Earth´s climate by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere for centuries; however, in the present, the chemistry of the oceans is being altered significantly, as...
Giant squid captured on video for first time
By: Leigh Goessl
In what is being described as a remarkable video capture, a team of scientists have filmed a giant squid in action far beneath the ocean's depths. Reportedly, this collaborative expedition, which included 100 dives, was attempted for years before it could finally reach fruition. This...
Impacts of ocean acidification on marine life
By: Dr Pandula Siribaddana
From the time of the industrial revolution, human interventions have made the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels to rise exponentially. According to scientists, ocean being the largest pool of water on the surface of the earth, helped absorb almost quarter of such atmospheric CO2 and...
Impacts of ocean acidification on marine life
By: Frances Smith - 641219
Ocean acidification is the name given to the process by which the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, from the burning of fossil fuels, has caused more carbon dioxide to dissolve into the oceans and reduced the pH of the oceans, making them more...
