The ocean plays a crucial role in regulating the world’s climate, however human activity is accelerating global warming with disastrous consequences for life both above and below the water’s surface. It is often claimed that we know more about space than about the oceans, and while this is...
About 243,000 animal species live in the world's oceans. They account for roughly 16% of all species discovered so far on our planet. Most marine species live in tropical waters where sea temperatures are stable and less affected by climate change. Seals and whales, however, thrive in cold...
Maintaining a healthy balance in both coastal and marine habitats ensures that sea turtle populations thrive and continue their remarkable migratory patterns across the oceans for generations to come.

slow down climate change, and we should be acting on it now. 1. The most possible reason for the rising of sea levels should be ___. A. greenhouse gas emission B. temperature change of the oceans C. vulnerable coastal area D. fast urban development and expansion 2. New York, Sydney...
Even greenhouse gas emissions (排放) stopped tomorrow, the oceans will continue to become larger as they get warm. The climate scientists estimate that sea-level rise may be in the range of 1 to 2 meters by 2100, with a small risk of an even greater rise. For many islands and low-...
However, as the climate cooled forests died off, creating open land. Due to the widening of the oceans, sharks, whales and other marine life proliferated. The Great Lakes that formed in the western United States during the Eocene epoch were the perfect home for bass, trout and other fresh-...
