The surface currents flow in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

Although the amount of salt in the ocean remains relatively constant within the scale of millions of years, various factors affect the salinity of a body of water. Near the equator, where temperatures are higher, more evaporation takes place and so the seawater has a higher concentration of salt. There is a broader spectrum of higher animal taxa in the sea than on land, many marine species have yet to be discovered and the number known to science is expanding annually.

The water moving away from the equator is warm, and that flowing in the reverse direction has lost most of its heat. We must all take time – indeed find this time wherever possible - as without it, we can become immersed in the negative; this is absolutely something to avoid. These events can temporarily lift or lower the surface of the sea in the affected area, usually by a few feet. I think people are sometimes wary of me because they think I’m going to bite their head off or something, but I’m harmless really.

In calm conditions, this freezes into a thin flat sheet known as nilas, which thickens as new ice forms on its underside. Taking place on Thursday 3 February, it’s the day that friends, families, communities, and workplaces come together to talk, listen and change lives. As they grate together, the continental plates are deformed and buckle causing mountain building and seismic activity.Nilas may have a salinity of 12–15 ‰, but by the time the sea ice is one year old, this falls to 4–6 ‰. Temporary upwelling currents occur when the wind pushes water away from the land and deeper water rises to replace it.

The facebook page of the same name is hilarious and has opened my eyes to some of the most incredible new insults. Marine and maritime geography charts the shape and shaping of the sea, while marine geology (geological oceanography) has provided evidence of continental drift and the composition and structure of the Earth, clarified the process of sedimentation, and assisted the study of volcanism and earthquakes. There’s so much stupidity and nonsense in the world, and it’s nice that there’s a decent-sized section of society that’s appalled by it. Other expeditions followed in the nineteenth century, from Russia, France, the Netherlands and the United States as well as Britain.

The waves reach their maximum height when the rate at which they are travelling nearly matches the speed of the wind. Agitated by this perceptual incongruity, the brain responds with a cascade of stress-related hormones that can ultimately lead to nausea, vomiting, and vertigo. This tends to undercut the cliff, and normal weathering processes such as the action of frost follows, causing further destruction. The sea has also been proven to help muscle problems or joint pains by relaxing them and soothing the surrounding area.Of course, no one wants to live in a world where we can’t tell our MPs to get in the sea, but do we really want to simultaneously disregard their right to feel threatened or afraid? This cold water is often rich in nutrients and creates blooms of phytoplankton and a great increase in the productivity of the sea.
