Essay About The Ocean

The film The Sea Inside shares the heart warming real life story of a man named Ramon Sampedro. At the young age of twenty-six he suffered an accident while diving into shallow waters of the ocean that left him a quadriplegic. Now at the age of fifty-four, Ramon must depend on his family to survive. His older brother Jose, Jose’s wife, Manuela and their son Javi do their best to take care of Ramon and make him feel loved. Although Ramon is extremely grateful to his family and friends for their help all these years, he has come to see his life as aggravating and unsatisfying. He wishes to die with the little dignity he has left in his life. However, Ramon’s family is dead set against the thought of assisted suicide and the

If you have ever lived in proximity to coastal areas you may have seen coastline erosion first hand. The beaches you frequent during the summer may seem to be getting smaller and smaller every year. Why does your favorite beach seem to be disappearing? Coastal erosion is to blame. The waves, wind, tides and currents all play a part in the mechanism that is coastal erosion. When water and wind batter the shoreline sediments are carried out to sea and deposited on the sea floor or at other points along the coastline. This is called an erosional coastline. This erosion may be very apparent or seem to have happened overnight when it happens due to a large storm or extremely high tide.

I examine how rising or falling tide can affect the water level of Corte Madera Salt Marsh in this report. The data is from Wednesday (June 19th) and Thursday (June 20th). My hypothesis is that tide and water level have positive relationship. From the result, I learn that the water level and tide have positive relationship. However, when tide changes its direction, the water level is likely to stay or little change.

The novel The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman was an engrossing sci-fi novel. The story, largely told through flashbacks into the protagonist’s past, set in his early childhood, at the age of seven years old when he met an eccentric girl named Lettie Hempstock. His flashbacks are of his and Lettie’s adventures and when everything went awry on their lane.

The bell tolls. I stumble downstairs in a drear. I can’t stand it, I can’t stand this heaviness, this heaviness in the air. I could scream. My feet begin to thud, thudding down the stairs. I shove the front doors open. To hell with the repercussions. I run. I run like I have never run before. I let it all drip away. The fog thickens around me, clouding my vision, tripping me up. It’s the fog of me, the fog I’m releasing. My toes sink in the grass, squelching and sinking. I’m light as air now. It’s like I’m painting, but not painting in my head, I’m painting on canvas. I’m building sculptures. I’m shaping sand.

9. What are the different types of shorelines? Describe each type briefly. There is a rocky coast, lowland beach and barrier island, as well as coral reef. A rocky coast describes the most common type of costal area. This is where there are vertical wave cut cliffs and horizontal bench cut cliffs. The erosion undermines the cliffs and sends the resulting debris into the ocean forming rough outcroppings. Beaches are not only the sand

Great waves toss and turn with great force. Rushing as they collide with the earth soaking the soft sand. The ocean seemed to be howling as every wave grew as tall as a mountain. Slowly, the water creeps forward, then lazily seeping back in the vast ocean, only to do the same over and over again. The deep sea is a mysterious place where sea creatures lurk beneath the waves. Blue, sparkling water is everywhere you look with no end. The humming waves seem to whisper as if telling me the most confidential secret. You can never really hear them clearly until you dive in deeper and deeper.

On the rubber dingy fear coursed thought my blood. I held tightly onto Yara as we were pushed and pulled as more and more people tried to fit onto the boat. I could see Mama and Papa amongst the crowd gathered on the shore. The silent tears streaked down my eyes. This was the last time I may see them. Through the black night they were faintly illuminated by the flickering light, amid a crowd of strangers anxious to escape. The small engine roared to life and the small dingy lurched forward, escaping into the endless darkness that lay ahead.

The ocean. Many picture deep blue water and beautiful wildlife, but that wildlife is in danger and the ocean isn’t all water anymore. Big plastic patches are found in many of the world’s oceans, and marine life is ingesting the plastic which often leads to death because the animals choke on it, get poisoned by the plastic, or starve to death because plastic is the only thing the marine life is eating. Animals such as turtles and seals also get caught in the plastic and can’t get back into open water leading to starvation or severe injuries. The Hawaiian Monk Seal, which is already on the brink of extinction, often gets caught in the plastic and dies, the other problem affecting

Simultaneously one after the other the dance off colours illuminated the starry dark night in their wake. Shimmering diamonds, revelling merrily in the dark; captivating my conscience. Each ray, each beam, each burning streak of light reflecting of the crystal clear moon into everyone’s star stuck eyes. Enlightening lifeless souls, with the syncopating rhythms. BOOM…WHOOS! BOOM…WHOOSH! My senses playing wicked games; all around bright colours exploding hypnotically back and forth! Devouring my mind in imperturbability. This picturesque gateway was magnificent; I was utterly engulfed.

Ocean gyres can choose to end throwing plastics at open waters due to wind patterns. Circulation of the wind pulls and pushes the water, so plastics can end up scattered in parts of the sea or end up on the shores.

I woke up feeling like death. My bones were cracking as I started to stretch and my blood flow started to slow down. It was like I was amputated. I turned my body to the right, looking at my clock. As usual, my alarm didn’t wake me up. The white light poured in, even before I started to move and variety of intriguing sounds outside, all too in the early morning. Close by my bed was bottle of Peralta’s Best Booze, which was empty and an empty and small ash tray smelling like shit. I started to stroll to the bathroom; getting a clean face and feeling fresh. The rusty faucet started to leak.

When referring to Arizona’s water Kris Mayes, chairwoman of the state’s utility regulatory panel once said, “How do you say just how valuable water is in an arid state like Arizona?” she said. “It’s like the credit-card commercial-it’s priceless” (McKinnon). She was right, because in a dry state like Arizona, water is pretty important. To say water is ‘pretty important’ for the world is an understatement. We use water to function. And when we think of water we think of saving it. Keep the faucets from dripping or turn off the water while brushing your teeth. There are numerous tips for water conservation, but people don’t often think of the damage that is already done. Damages like ‘dead zones’. Dead zones in the ocean have been around for

In Sea change, by Earnest Hemingway, was first published in 1931. In this short story, Hemingway talks about a man named Phil and unnamed woman who loves each other and it seems that they are couple. The story is narrated by third person who is unnamed narrator. The story started strangely with a direct dialogue between them that take place in a bar in Paris. The first thing we saw is the man want to kill a women but we did not understand who is that women. Then, we realize that she made a relationship with someone else and he is so angry. Then we understand that the relation was with a woman and that is a very surprising according to a man. Therefore, she began apologizing to him, and he still not accepting. He could not forgive

When he got to his console and surveyed the data he gasped at the magnitude of life it had found. A thirty thousand feet below was a multitude of flying beasts that seemed to cover the waters as a blanket would cover a newborn. These animals ranged in size from fist to ship size. This discovery was awesomely unexpected. He watched as they soared almost effortlessly among the thermals, randomly dove into the ocean and reappeared moments later mouths full of wriggling sea-life. Sitting down he did a more in depth scan and found the ocean teeming with small fish just below the surface with larger aquatics further down. Descending slowly through the thick atmosphere the winds picked up and started to buffett the hull making the approach a
