Oil is also used to make all sorts of plastic products from bottles to mobile telephones, and for chemicals used in factories and farming." Food: http://noc.ac.uk/science-technology/m... “The seas and oceans contain vast natural resources that are increasingly available to humans as technology and scientific understanding improve. Humans have long exploited living resources such as fish and shellfish, often with devastating results as over-exploitation since the advent of industrialisation has decimated wild populations. Ocean Resources: http://marinebio.org/oceans/ocean-res... “The ocean is one of Earth's most valuable natural resources. It provides food in the form of fish and shellfish—about 200 billion pounds are caught each year. It's used for transportation—both travel and shipping." How Do We Use Marine Resources?: http://www.eu-hermione.net/learning/o... “For food - fish, such as orange roughy, blue ling, grenadier and redfish, and shellfish (e.g., oysters, mussels, crabs and lobsters) are in high demand by communities all over the world." Tidal Energy: http://noc.ac.uk/science-technology/m... “The large tides around the coast can be used to make electricity in two ways. The first, called tidal stream, uses the large current speeds that can occur in narrow channels and off headlands." + + + + + + + TestTube Plus is built for enthusiastic science fans seeking out comprehensive conversations on the geeky topics they love.
