The Sea Highers its Level

For today's post, we are going to look at Sea level. If you haven't seen my last post, 'What are they?', please check it out. In my Geology badge, I had referred about the sea level in my 'Earth's Records' post. I had told you that Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in altitude. Manua Kea is shorter in altitude, but including the sea level, Manua Kea is above 10,000 meters tall. But this is different of what I'm going to talk to you today.

What is Sea Level Rise caused by?

One of the reasons for sea level rise is rising because of glaciers and ice sheets. Second, it is caused by thermal expansion caused by warming up the ocean. The ocean has absorbed more than 90% because of the atmospheric heat connected with emissions from human activity. When the sea gets warmer, places with ice like Antarctica and the Arctic, the ice melts and water starts to come in the ocean.

Facts from the video

• Earth absorbs for than 90% of the heat from global warming.
• A child born today can expect the ocean to rise between 30 centimetres and 1.2 meters in their lifetime.
• Only in the United States, nearly 5 million people live near within 1.2 meters of the local high tide level. That could mean increased flooding from storm surges.
• As the ocean rises, the salt water (water from the sea) can get mixed with rivers and groundwater. Which people can get fresh water for drinking and farming.

Here are a few videos about the sea level rise. The first one is about the contributors to the sea-level rise | European Space Agency (ESA) and Sea level rise accelerates over time | NASA Climate Change. 

In the first video, it shows places where sea level is rising and a data graph of the sea level rise.

  

Now, this is a video about sea level rise, rising over time.

Let's have some fun! I've got a quiz from NASA Climate Change, about Sea Level Rise.

This is a small (but big)

which shows data, facts,
information and more.

How was your quiz? Did you get more than 6 correct answers? If you did, "congratulations"! Now, this is the end of my post. Before that, I'll tell you what I've learnt.

What I've learnt

• One of the reasons for sea level rise is rising because of glaciers and ice sheets.
• It is caused by thermal expansion caused by warming up the ocean.

World or Plastic?

For today's post, we are going to look at a part in ocean pollution which is ruining the ocean and making it polluted, plastic. This pollution is called Plastic pollution, which includes plastic bottles, plastic bags and more. This topic refers to two posts that I've posted, How many are there?, and It's the Sea of Garbage!!. Because it shows how polluted our oceans are. There is more plastic in the ocean than any other item. Life without plastic is impossible, right? Plastic has been a problem and we should know about the dangers. This is a video from UN Environment (United Nations Environment Programme) and Clean Seas campaign.

Data

Facts

• It is estimated that we've produced around 300 million tons of plastic each year.
• There is 9% which is recycled, 12% which is burned and 79% which is wandering in our ocean.
• According to the recent studies from Worldwatch Institute, it is estimated that there is 268,940 tons of plastic are currently floating in the world’s oceans.

What I've Learnt?

• The global/world production has been increasing since 1950.
• Most of the plastic is used for packaging.
• It is estimated that we've produced around 300 million tons of plastic each year.
• There is 9% which is recycled, 12% which is burned and 79% which is wandering in our ocean.
• According to the recent studies from Worldwatch Institute, it is estimated that there is 268,940 tons of plastic are currently floating in the world’s oceans.

It's the Sea of Garbage!!

My Drawing of Plastic bottles in the sea

For today's post, we are going to look at the Sea of Garbage. There have been people littering and rubbish going in the sea. This powtoon shows what happens if plastic bottles have been recycled, about the garbage patch, what happens to sea turtles, and more. Here's the powtoon.

What I've learnt

• What happens to sea turtles in the ocean.
• Learning about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
• What happens to plastic bottles when they are recycled. 

I hope you like my post about the Sea of Garbage. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Oceans - A Source of Life

For reading our task was to learn and know about Oceans. We had a book named "Oceans - A Source of Life". There were some scaffolding texts to read. It showed about the oceans. We had to create some type to share our learning. I made a powtoon to show my learning and what I know about Oceans. Also I had learnt some new things about Oceans. Below is my powtoon about oceans. I hope you like my powtoon and post. Comment down below, it would be great. Have a cool day!! Bye!!

Place Where Two Oceans Meet But Do Not MIX!!??

Have you ever heard that oceans don't mix!!?? They don't mix together→← in between Gulf of Alaska and Pacific Ocean !! If one side is dirty water and the other is clean crystal water but they do not mix together! Watch this video to get some information/facts about the oceans that don't mix together→←. I found one fact while finding the video that "If the water gets mixed, Earth 🌍 will destroy!!" I hope you like my post of the Place Where Two Oceans Meet But Do Not MIX! I would have a related type of post!! Stay Tuned of my next posts in the holidays!! Have an awesome and cool 😎 holiday!! Bye!!
