Chemical oceanography is the study of ocean chemistry. It involves the behavior of all chemical elements within the oceans. The ocean usually contains almost all the naturally occurring elements found in the periodic table. As such, oceanographers must have enhanced analytical chemistry skills that enable them to understand how the...

The world ocean covers most of the surface of the planet and plays a huge role in the existence of all the alive organisms on it. It influences the ecosystem of the Earth and systemizes its functioning. However, it is commonly believed that people researched only five percent of its...

Ocean acidification is the result of uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the oceans, resulting in a decrease in pH of the Earth's oceans. Seawater is slightly alkaline in nature, and the acidification is actually a shift towards a pH neutral position, rather than an actually acidic ocean....

Upwelling of the oceans is a phenomena with many impacts, not the least of which is the ease with which fisherman can catch fish. This is as the cause of the upwelling phenomena is great winds, and these force the cooler and nutrient rich water from deeper ocean to come...

Hurricanes are defined as strong storms that occur in the tropical region carrying heavy winds (Horton & Liu, 2014). Due to such winds, there may result to excess rainfall leading to floods and a rise in the sea level. Hurricanes mostly occur in North Atlantic between the months of June...
