Ocean Life Mariana´s Trench
Mariana´s Trench Trench:   A long, steep-sided valley on the  ocean floor.  Mariana´s Trench  is located in the western Pacific Ocean (11"21' N, 142" 12' E) near Japan and is the deepest known location on earth
 
How deep is Marianas Trench? Average depths of the earth's oceans -  the Arctic Ocean is 1,038m deep -  the Indian Ocean is 3,872m deep -  the Atlantic Ocean is 3,872m deep  -  the Pacific Ocean is 4,188m deep The deepest point in each of the earth's oceans: -  the Arctic Ocean's Eurasian Basin at 5,450m deep  -  the Indian Ocean's Java Trench at 7,725m deep -  the Atlantic Ocean's Puerto Rico Trench at 8,648m deep -  the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench at 11,033m deep

Do whales go to heaven?
Blue Whale ( Balaenoptera musculus ) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Cetacea  (Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises)
Whale Classification Whales belong to the order of  Cetacea , so they are called  Cetaceans . (Animalia-Chordata-Mammalia- Cetacea ). Cetaceans can be divided into two groups:  Toothed   Whales  and  Baleen Whales.   Baleen Whales:  larger whales that use a  baleen  to sieve tiny organisms from the water. They have  two blowholes  used for respiration. Toothed Whales:  smaller whales that use teeth to catch and eat prey. They only have  one blowhole  since the second blowhole has evolved into an organ used for  echolocation.
How does a whale breathe? The whale´s “nose” which is called the  blowhole  is   located on the  dorsal surface  of the whale. Whales breathe by partially surfacing. At the surface they  flex a muscle to open  the blowhole and once they have inhaled  the muscle   relaxes   to close  the blowhole so that whale can  submerge  again. Because whales must partially surface to breathe, they have developed  conscious breathing.  A whale´s blowhole is  unique  to each species. Experienced whale watchers can identify a whale by it´s blowhole. Whales  do not  expel water from their blowhole. When the whale surfaces it expels air  (water vapour)  and since the air in their lungs is at a higher temperature than the external air, the water vapours in the expelled air quickly  condense  into a liquid.
Respiratory Adaptations ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Temperature Adaptations ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Pressure Adaptations Sprem whales can dive to 1000m deep (and deeper!). At this depth, over 90,000 kg of water is weighing down on every square inch of the whale´s body. At this pressure a human´s lungs would  collapse . Whales have  collapsable lungs  that allow them to tolerate this enormous pressure.
Do whales dream? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Whale Fall: Life After Death When a whale dies and sinks to the bottom it is called a  whale fall .  Whale falls can support entire ecosystems for 50 to 75 years!  which is the same amount of time a whale may live. Stage 1: Mobile scavenger stage - at this stage fish and crustaceans remove    90 % of the tissue - can last from months to years Stage 2: Enrichment opportunist stage - marine worms and crustaceans live off of the bones -  Osedax  worms (zombie worms) consume lipids inside the whale bones - can last for several years Stage 3: Sulphophilic stage - bacteria decompose the whale bones and produce hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) which    nourishes  chemoautotrophic bacteria - this is  the longest stage  and can last for many years
 
Questions 1. What do you call a group of whales? 2. What is the scientific name for whales? 3. What are the two divisions of whales? What makes them different from each other? 4. Explain how whales breathe. 5. How do whales maintain a constant blood pressure when diving? 6. How do whales maintain a constant body temperature when diving? 7. How have whales adapted to the increased pressure underwater? 8. How do whales sleep? 9. What are the 3 stages of a whale fall? 10. What does  chemoautotrophic  mean?

Coral Reefs a vanishing hotspot
Coral Coral is a living organism. It is an  invertebrae  and they are related to jellyfish and anenomes.  (Animalia – Cnidaria – Anthozoa) .   We can further divide corals into two subclasses. There are about 2,500 species of corals.
Two types of Corals Zoantharia  corals have tentacles in multiples of 6 and  form coral reefs.  They use sediment and other substrate  to form a hard body.  They can be  solitary or colonial. Alcyonaria  corals have tentacles in multiples of 8. Most are  colonial .

Coral Habitat Corals are found in all of the world´s oceans. However, we only find  coral reefs  in tropical oceans. Corals can be found at depths of 6000m but  coral reefs are only found at maximum depths of 45m  (where there is sunlight).
Coral Reef Environment ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Types of Coral Reefs There are 3 types of coral reefs: Fringing : these reefs grow close to the shore Barrier:  these reefs grow close to the shore but they have a lagoon that seperates it from the shore Atoll:  a ring of coral that grows on a submerged volcano or mountain
Barrier Coral Reef
Fringing Coral Reef
Atoll Coral Reef
Why are coral reefs so important? Marine Rainforests:  coral reefs provide a habitat for many organisms.They are a  biological hotspot , a place where biodiversity is very high! Coastline protection:  Coral reefs surround coastlines and protect the shore from erosion Irreplaceable:  Corals grow very slowly,  about 1cm a year!  If they are destroyed it will take 1000s of years for them to grow back.
Coral reefs in danger! Ocean pollution  in the form of  oil slicks ,  pesticide and chemical runoff  and  garbage  are very harmful for corals. Pesticide runoff can increase the concentration of nutrients in the oceans, this increases algae populations which can  smother  corals. Deforestation  causes erosion, which can bury corals and prevent the sunlight from entering the shallow waters. Since Coral reefs are dependent on symbiotic relationship with algae, if there is no sunlight there are no coral reefs.
Over fishing and Ocean Trawling . Ocean trawling is a very destructive method of fishing. Big ships use machinery that completely destroys coral reefs.  Coral reefs in danger!
Video of ocean trawling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q7acR8-ZFU
Global Warming.  Since corals are very sensitive to temperature changes, even a slight increase in ocean temperatures could be devastating.  High concentrations of CO 2  increase the oceans´ acidity. In an acidic environment corals are not able to produce their hard skeletons which build the reef. When corals are dying they become white, this is called  coral bleaching . Coral reefs in danger!

Stage 1: Mobile scavenger stage - at this stage fish and crustaceans remove 90 % of the tissue - can last from months to years Stage 2: Enrichment opportunist stage - marine worms and crustaceans live off of the bones - Osedax worms (zombie worms) consume lipids inside the whale bones - can last for several years Stage 3: Sulphophilic stage - bacteria decompose the whale bones and produce hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) which nourishes chemoautotrophic bacteria - this is the longest stage and can last for many years

  • 27. Coral Reefs a vanishing hotspot
  • 28. Coral Coral is a living organism. It is an invertebrae and they are related to jellyfish and anenomes. (Animalia – Cnidaria – Anthozoa) . We can further divide corals into two subclasses. There are about 2,500 species of corals.
  • 29. Two types of Corals Zoantharia corals have tentacles in multiples of 6 and form coral reefs. They use sediment and other substrate to form a hard body. They can be solitary or colonial. Alcyonaria corals have tentacles in multiples of 8. Most are colonial .

  • 33. Coral Habitat Corals are found in all of the world´s oceans. However, we only find coral reefs in tropical oceans. Corals can be found at depths of 6000m but coral reefs are only found at maximum depths of 45m (where there is sunlight).

  • 35. Types of Coral Reefs There are 3 types of coral reefs: Fringing : these reefs grow close to the shore Barrier: these reefs grow close to the shore but they have a lagoon that seperates it from the shore Atoll: a ring of coral that grows on a submerged volcano or mountain
  • 39. Why are coral reefs so important? Marine Rainforests: coral reefs provide a habitat for many organisms.They are a biological hotspot , a place where biodiversity is very high! Coastline protection: Coral reefs surround coastlines and protect the shore from erosion Irreplaceable: Corals grow very slowly, about 1cm a year! If they are destroyed it will take 1000s of years for them to grow back.
  • 40. Coral reefs in danger! Ocean pollution in the form of oil slicks , pesticide and chemical runoff and garbage are very harmful for corals. Pesticide runoff can increase the concentration of nutrients in the oceans, this increases algae populations which can smother corals. Deforestation causes erosion, which can bury corals and prevent the sunlight from entering the shallow waters. Since Coral reefs are dependent on symbiotic relationship with algae, if there is no sunlight there are no coral reefs.
  • 41. Over fishing and Ocean Trawling . Ocean trawling is a very destructive method of fishing. Big ships use machinery that completely destroys coral reefs. Coral reefs in danger!

  • 43. Global Warming. Since corals are very sensitive to temperature changes, even a slight increase in ocean temperatures could be devastating. High concentrations of CO 2 increase the oceans´ acidity. In an acidic environment corals are not able to produce their hard skeletons which build the reef. When corals are dying they become white, this is called coral bleaching . Coral reefs in danger!
