Sea and Land: An Environmental History of the Caribbean

Product Information

Today, the term seven seas typically refers to the seven divisions of ocean: the North Pacific Ocean, the South Pacific Ocean, the North Atlantic Ocean, the South Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Antarctic Ocean. Drinking seawater can be deadly to humans". NOAA. 11 January 2013. Archived from the original on 21 September 2013 . Retrieved 16 September 2013. We also call each of these sections an ocean, and each has a specific name: the Pacific Ocean (from the east coasts of Asia and Australia to west coasts of the Americas), the Atlantic Ocean (from the east coasts of the Americas to the west coasts of Europe and Africa), the Indian Ocean (between the east coast of Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and the west coast of Australia), the Arctic Ocean (in the extreme global north), and the Antarctic Ocean (in the extreme global south).

The octopus is an amazing creature. It's got eight arms called tentacles that sway in the water looking for food. It scoots along the ocean floor, tentacles everywhere, its big round body going first and its big beady eyes on the lookout for danger. Marine pollution: Pathways of pollution include direct discharge, land runoff, ship pollution, atmospheric pollution and, potentially, deep sea mining. The types of marine pollution can be grouped as pollution from marine debris, plastic pollution, including microplastics, nutrient pollution, toxins and underwater noise. Ongoing oceanographic research includes marine lifeforms, conservation, the marine environment, the chemistry of the ocean, the studying and modelling of climate dynamics, the air-sea boundary, weather patterns, ocean resources, renewable energy, waves and currents, and the design and development of new tools and technologies for investigating the deep. [122] Whereas in the 1960s and 1970s, research could focus on taxonomy and basic biology, in the 2010s, attention has shifted to larger topics such as climate change. [123] Researchers make use of satellite-based remote sensing for surface waters, with research ships, moored observatories and autonomous underwater vehicles to study and monitor all parts of the sea.

Besides that, these unique creatures hibernate in the mud for up to five years without any food or water! They usually end their estivation period when rain accumulates enough for them to swim again.

Once they are finished with the breeding season, penguins go on land to rest and feed their young. Related: Animals That Crawl Swans

Besides that, spotted turtles are vulnerable to many predators on land, so to escape disturbance, they’ll flee in the water or bury themselves in the mud. Lungfish Logico, Mark G. (8 April 2006).

Hydrous ringwoodite recovered from volcanic eruptions suggests that the transition zone between the lower and upper mantle holds between one [13] and three [14] times as much water as all of the world's surface oceans combined. Experiments to recreate the conditions of the lower mantle suggest it may contain still more water as well, as much as five times the mass of water present in the world's oceans. [15] [16] In the most general sense, sea and ocean are often used interchangeably to refer to the massive body of salt water that covers most of the planet.
