The research will discuss four distinct subtopics:
Write 2 pages (single spaced, arial font, size 12) discussing the implications of increasing ocean stratification with climate change using these sources:
For this assignment you will be reading a case study and watching a documentary about energy usage. The case study is given in the document attached above and the documentary is given in the Section 4 energy folder. After reviewing both you will be coming up a solution to the case study questions. This solution should be given in the form of a paper that is a minimum of 2 pages in length and includes 2 references used. This solution should be discussed using the 5 questions that are asked below the case study. These will include you explaining types of renewable energy sources available, pros and cons for renewable energy resources, explaining how a person's actions can effect a communities decision to use renewable energy resources and finally your discussion on which alternative energy source you believe is best. Feel free to use information from the documentary, powerpoints and your textbook to assist with answering these questions.
