WATER AND THE SEA
elif WATER AND THE SEA
Hi! My name is Elif. I live in Bartın. I would like to talk about my vacations. My family and I love beach vacations. Luckily, Bartın has a lot of beaches. We usually go to İnkumu Beach for swimming. This beach is crystal clear and clean. For this reason, it is sometimes possible to encounter creatures such as small fish while swimming in the sea. Then, we go to the Güzelcehisar Beach for a picnic. This beach is surrounded by lava columns. It has a walking path around the lava columns. You can see the lava columns while walking on the beach. During our vacation, I swim in the sea, sunbathe and do some sports. There is a windsurfing club in Amasra. Bozköyaltı and Chile have suitable areas for windsurfing. Most people rent canoes and sailboats here. Some of my friends live in summer cottages in İnkum, Amasra, and Güzelcehisar. We usually play beach volleyball with them. I love these little trips. Meeting new friends is exciting for me.

Water pollution is when waste, chemicals, or other particles cause a body of water (i.e. rivers, oceans, lakes) to become harmful to the fish and animals that need the water to survive. Water pollution can disrupt and negatively impact nature's water cycle as well.
Natural Causes of Water Pollution
Sometimes water pollution can occur through natural causes like volcanoes, algae blooms, animal waste, and silt from storms and floods.
Human Causes of Water Pollution
A lot of water pollution comes from human activity. Some human causes include sewage, pesticides and fertilizers from farms, waste water and chemicals from factories, silt from construction sites, and trash from people littering.
Oil Spills
Some of the most famous incidents of water pollution have been oil spills. One was the Exxon Valdez oil spill which occurred when an oil tanker hit a reef off the coast of Alaska and over 11 million gallons of oil spilled into the ocean. Another bad oil spill was the Deepwater Horizon oil spill when an explosion at an oil well caused over 200 million gallons to spill into the Gulf of Mexico.
Acid Rain
Air pollution can also have a direct effect on water pollution. When particles like sulfur dioxide get high into the air they can combine with rain to produce acid rain. Acid rain can turn lakes acidic, killing fishes and other animals.
