It can us help humans gain knowledge and other sources such as medical drugs and energy. The global ocean helps humans survive in many ways and we should discover many ways. The Arctic Ocean has many useful resources. Below shallower parts of the ocean, lie massive deposits of coal, oil, and natural gas. Also there is iron, copper, lead, and uranium. The resources in the Arctic Ocean help the economy. They are used by people everywhere and help us survive. According to NOAA, “Unlocking the mysteries of deep sea ecosystems can reveal new sources for medical …show more content…

The deeper you go, more pressure presses against the sub. According to Patrick J. Kiger, “In addition to the ever-present danger, deep-sea explorers also must learn to cope with varying degrees of discomfort.” What this argument does not take into account is deep sea explorers maintain an impressive safety record despite all the risks. Robert Ballard has never had an accident and he has been diving for about 50 years. Ocean exploration benefits humans because the global ocean supports human life. The ocean provides valuable assets to humans that help us live. Additionally, ocean exploration helps us gain knowledge about other sources and more about the ocean. If scientists keep exploring the ocean, life will have tons of valuable resources and knowledge. Scientists can explore the ocean easier with more expertise about the ocean and that can create advances in people’s lives

  • Why Is Major Exploration Worth The Risk?

    679 Words  | 2 Pages

    Major exploration may harm the environment due to how we exploit resources. According to Philippe Cousteau’s commentary, he states that “the world has fished, mined and trafficked the ocean’s resources to a point where we are actually seeing dramatic changes that are seriously impacting today’s generations” (70). This emphasizes that attempting major exploration has an impact in our environment. Additionally, Elisabeth Rosenthal’s “Stinging Tentacles Offer Hint of Oceans’ Decline” gives us an idea how pollution affects the climate. Dr. Josep-MarÍa Gili

  • The Sea Around Us Chapter 1 Summary

    1590 Words  | 4 Pages

    In “Chapter 6 – The Sea Around Us” of Elizabeth Kolbert’s The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History, the author reveals the fact that the ocean is acidifying due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. In this chapter, Kolbert notes that there was a lack of biodiversity near the vents at Castello Aragonese in order to present the oceans’ future possibility. One of the types of sea creatures that ocean acidification would devastate are the calcifiers, which are organisms that create shells or skeletons made of calcium carbonate (Kolbert 117-122). Credible sources of information, such as the EPA and the Smithsonian Institution, agree that ocean acidification poses a serious threat to marine calcifiers,

  • Ocean Acidification: The Ocean's Effect On The Oceans

    1508 Words  | 4 Pages

    Oceans cover around seventy percent of the Earth’s surface. The oceans of the world have a direct relationship with weather and climate – they influence the weather both locally and globally and the changes in climate in exchange have an affect on properties of the oceans. Changes that occur to the ocean for the most part occur over a much longer period than in the atmosphere. Even if carbon dioxide emissions were to be stabilized today, it would centuries for oceans to adjust to the changes in the atmosphere. When greenhouse gases trap more energy for the sun, oceans then absorb more heat; and in turn there is a rise in sea surface temperatures as well rising sea levels. Oceans do help to reduce climate change due to the fact that they

  • Oceans in Crisis

    1833 Words  | 4 Pages

    Oceans are such so vast that people underestimate the impact their actions —seeming so insignificant— have on them. Humans have by and large taken the oceans for granted; not considering how important a healthy ocean is to our survival. A popular mind-set is that the oceans are a bottomless supply of fish, natural resources, and an infinite waste dump. There are myriad reasons why the oceans should be saved and the most obvious one is marine life. With 71% of the Earth being covered by water, it is obvious that sea creatures are predominant form of life, making up 80% of the species of life on Earth. However, as important as marine life is, that is not the only reason why saving the oceans is crucial. The ocean floor provides natural resources such as, oil, natural gas, petroleum, minerals, medications, and ingredients for foods and products. The economic benefits of the oceans are huge and significant, as well. Fishing and fish products have provided employment to 38 million people and have generated about $124 billion in economic benefits. However, oceans are on the verge of crisis, marine life, natural resources, transportation, the economy, and important ingredients are at risk due to overfishing, pollution, and acidification. Thus, in this essay I will argue that, oceans are not impervious to human activity and threatening the health of the ocean threatens the health of humanity, since oceans key to our survival.
