If Global Warming Continues, Will the Ocean Be Safe?

CSEF · 2008 Environmental Science (Junior Division Only)

Bill R. Morris · Shorecliffs Middle School, San Clemente, Orange County

Overview

Objectives/Goals To find out if the ocean#s temperature continues to increase, will its qualities such as pH, oxygen, density, and salinity hurt the ocean environment? Methods/Materials 2 1-gallon milk cartons, Pot large enough to hold 2 gallons of water, Microwave, pH paper, Thermometer, Paper, Pencil, Ocean water, Hydrometer Kit (used to test salinity), Scientific Calculator (density), 3 30 mL beakers, Potassium Iodine, Potassium Hydroxide, Manganese Sulfate, Sulfuric Acid, Starch, Syringe, Thiosulfate Results The salinity, density, pH, and oxygen levels of the water all hurt the ocean, and would hurt everything living in that environment. Conclusions/Discussion It is very apparent that as the water temperature rises, the qualities of the ocean will seriously effect the environment, so we need to try to help the environment as much as we can, and we need to find a way to save our ocean environment.

Summary statement

My project is about what will happen to the ocean environment if global warming continues.
