Explore the Role of Plankton, Clouds, and Ocean Temperatures in Maintaining Earth’s Health
Plankton, clouds, and ocean temperatures are vital components of Earth’s interconnected systems. In this section, students will delve into how these elements work together to sustain life on our planet. Plankton, the microscopic organisms that float in our oceans, are crucial for carbon cycling and serve as the foundation of marine food webs.
Clouds play a significant role in regulating Earth’s temperature by reflecting sunlight and trapping heat. By understanding their formation and interaction with ocean temperatures, students will gain insights into weather patterns and climate regulation.
Additionally, ocean temperatures directly affect global climate, influencing weather events and marine biodiversity. Through interactive lessons, students will learn how changes in these factors can impact not only ocean health but also the broader climate system, highlighting the importance of maintaining a balanced and healthy Earth.
