Resumen
El océano mitiga el cambio climático pero necesita biodiversidad, que está amenazada por las actividades humanas. Un tratado de la ONU para proteger la biodiversidad en alta mar no pudo finalizar debido a cuestiones no resueltas, lo que requiere nuevos esfuerzos.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología de la conservación marina
- Derecho internacional del medio ambiente
- Ciencia del cambio climático
Sus antecedentes:
- El océano es un regulador crítico del clima, pero su biodiversidad está amenazada por el cambio climático, la sobrepesca, la contaminación y la explotación de los recursos.
- Los ecosistemas de alta mar y de los fondos marinos, que se encuentran fuera de la jurisdicción nacional, son particularmente vulnerables y requieren cooperación internacional para su protección.

01:06Tidal Forces
2.7K
The origin of Earth's ocean tides has been a subject of continuous investigation for over 2000 years. However, the work of Newton is considered to be the beginning of the proper understanding of the phenomenon. Ocean tides are the result of gravitational tidal forces. These same tidal forces are present in any astronomical body; they are responsible for the internal heat that creates the volcanic activity on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, and the breakup of stars that get too close to...

01:22Effect of Sea Water on Concrete
364
Concrete exposed to seawater can undergo degradation like the dissolution of ettringite and gypsum, increasing the material's porosity and decreasing its strength. In contrast, the crystallization of salts within the concrete's pores can cause expansion, particularly above the waterline where evaporation occurs. Nonetheless, this expansion only happens when seawater, enabled by the concrete's permeability, manages to infiltrate the structure.

01:43Sustainable Development
13.5K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

01:23States of Water
51.8K
Water exists in any one of the three classical states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam or water vapor). The state of water depends on i) the intermolecular forces that draw molecules together and ii) the kinetic energy that leads to movements that pull them apart.
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...

01:19Quality of Water
173
In concrete preparation, the quality of water is paramount as it affects the strength and durability of the concrete. Potable water is usually preferred; however, it must not have excessive sodium or potassium to prevent compromising the concrete's integrity. Water quality is typically evaluated based on impurities such as dissolved solids, chlorides, and sulfates, and its pH value is ideally between 6 and 8. Even slightly acidic natural water may be acceptable unless it contains harmful...

01:11Buoyancy and Stability for Submerged and Floating Bodies
2.0K
In fluid mechanics, buoyancy and stability are key concepts for understanding the behavior of submerged and floating bodies. When a stationary body is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, the fluid exerts a force on the body known as the buoyant force. This force acts vertically upward through a point called the center of buoyancy, which is the center of the displaced fluid volume. According to Archimedes' principle, the magnitude of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid...
