Ocean Trip Research Paper

I`ve been on planes, cars, and many things in my life but I have never been on a cruise, and on this Alaskan Cruise I was able to try new things. In our ship they had swimming pools, ping pong tables, casinos, and a extraordinary ice cream bar. One of my favorite parts of this trip was holding two baby sled dogs that were two weeks old. I also liked kayaking, plus I shared a kayak with my sister, Mia, and I controlled the kayak from the back. After that my family and I went on a bus ride to see caribou, bears, and glaciers. I also went on a hike and float with the Kendal`s (who are my cousins), because there daughter Annie was sleepy. I saw cool trees and fascinating wildlife. I even was allowed to eat berries that tasted like watermelon, but

During the summer of 2017, at the end of July, I went on my first cruise. Since it was my first cruise ever, I was nervous, but really excited. I went with my parents and older sister. Everyone was telling me how fun cruises are, but I didn’t really know what to expect. I was just so excited and I knew that this was going to be a very memorable family vacation.

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.

To begin with, if I was currently an advocate for the environment and animals I would first focus on the Orcas, or killer whales, at theme parks, specifically Sea World. First of all, Sea World is inhumane. Five of the Orcas currently at sea world were “whale-napped” from the oceans they called home. For example, Tilikum, one of the most know whales in the Sea World franchise, is now thirty-two years old. He was captured at the age of two by, which means he has been in captivity for thirty years. And, before anyone says Tilikum was injured so they “rescued” him I want to say that it is fact that Tilikum was not injured. He was taken from his family and confined to a tiny tank just so people could make a hefty profit. Also, if the Orcas are

Everything starts to happen on December 1941 in there house in Ocean Park, California. Ocean Park is a small little town that is kind of by Santa Monica, a lot of the people that life there make their living by fishing, and eating what they catch.

That has been what I have been doing on the ship for the last year. It wasn’t always just me doing this; I am the last member of my crew on its way back to earth. My crew, my friends, my family, all gone and I don’t even know how it happened. Maybe it happened when they were on there way back from the surface or maybe something went wrong on the ship ether way, all that’s left of the explosion is a big hole in the shuttle bay and a lot of gamma radiation. In fact the gamma rays are the only thing keeping me from investigating the area.

Imagine sitting on white beach with sand like grains of sugar and the sound of waves crashing onto the shore a short distance away and the warmth of the summer sun on your back. That is just some of what I was able to experience when my family took a week long vacation to the Bahamas. I’ve never really forgotten that week and I know that I want to be able to go back there again in the future. I was only nine at the time but even then I was able appreciate the trip.

Crumbling castles, carnage, and chaos clouds the image the mind creates when depicting the Middle Ages. We see it as a period in history that, supposedly, holds a semblance with darkness; a time where culture was a part of the past and a wish for the future. The term ‘Dark Ages’ is considered to be synonymous with this portion in history. However, despite these claims, the literature from the Middle Ages proves that this era was not so dark.

The 10 minute ride in the calm, clear water felt refreshing and both our moods began to look up. Still too cool and breezy for swimming, we hung our feet over the side and putted along taking our sweet time with the enjoyable ride. Inside the cove where the Marina is, we tied up the dinghy and

After graduating high school, I spent three months in Japan learning languages. There, I could engage with people from all the different backgrounds. Although it was a short period, only living in three months in Japan widened my perspectives. Semester at Sea will more open my perspectives also engaging in South Asia, Africa and Europe.

My personal favorite vacation was when I was six. I flew with my family to a friend’s beachfront estate in Florida. Countless hours were spent hours fishing and swimming on the beach every day, even catching a Blacktip shark. The life changing trip made me exceptionally closer to my friend and his family. I traveled to Italy when I was twelve, it was the first time I had left the United States. The trip was an incredible experience for me, introducing me to an entirely new world of culture. Leaving the United States was a substantial goal for me at that age, as I had never been to a place where people didn’t speak English. The trip was an eye opener for how different the world can be. My first flight alone was when I was in February 2015, when I flew to Colorado to ski with my aunt and uncle. Initially, I was nervous as I left my father at security and made my way to the gate. I soon realized how simple it was to travel and thought of it as an adventure. I’m sure my experience wouldn’t have been the same if the people sitting next to me weren’t so friendly. Even though I have had some transforming experiences in my life, I always look to see what enjoyment I can have next and what I can to create

Oceanography is and always will be my life. I spent most of middle school through college with one goal in mind, and that was to study and explore the ocean. A little more than half way through college I started thinking about what exactly I would be doing after I graduated. I hadn’t quite figured it out at the time. Eventually I started to think that I would just go to grad school and specialize in Chemical Oceanography or something. Senior year came and went and I started to pay more attention to the elections. The elections were what finally helped me decide on what I have to do.

Since the Ocean is the largest biome in the world, the climate is from -40 degrees fahrenheit to more than 100 degrees. The average temperature is 39 degrees fahrenheit, but it is much warmer near the Equator where the sun rays can hit the ocean and make it warmer. The coldest is in the North and the South Poles where the water is close to freezing, also known as glaciers, because sunlight isn’t directly hitting it with it’s sun rays. The ocean can also be harsh, because of ocean currents. The ocean currents create big hurricanes and typhoons. Although the climate can ve extreme it has little effect on life. Most life forms have adapted to the ocean. Plants have also adapted to deep places where sunlight doesn't reach. These life forms in the ocean have adapted, so the climate

I stand at the edge where two worlds collide. The oceans exude power and confindence yet its are the connector to everyone. Here at the ocean, your peace can be found in the middle of this chaotic world. This is where people can lose themselves in the beauty, tranquility and the uncontrollable power of the ocean.

In July of 2016 my husband and I took our family on a cruise, it was the first time cruisin’ for all of us. We were so excited to experience something new. We decided to drive to Galveston Tx. where we would port from to begin our week long journey. We were at sea for four days and docked three days. The destinations we chose were on the Western Caribbean; Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Jamaica.
