In
this
lesson,
students
explore
the
roles
of
oil
and
water
in
the
Middle
East,
especially
in
Iraq.
They
use
maps
to
look
at
the
distribution
of
oil
in
the
Middle
East
and
discuss
what
it
means
for
the
different
countries
in
the
region.
They
also
examine
how
water
has
influenced
the
region
historically
and
politically
(for
example,
how
Iraq's
access
to
water
is
limited
to
one
small
part
of
its
border).

This
site
provides
information
on
the
many
aspects
of
the
study
of
the
sea
surface
from
space.
Measuring
the
ocean
surface
topography
provides
information
for
studying
global
ocean
circulation
and
the
oceans
heat
budget.
Regular
scanning
of
the
ocean
surface
to
maintain
a
database
of
ocean
surface
topography
can
help
predict
short-term
changes
in
weather
and
longer-term
patterns
of
climate.

Voyage
is
an
online
multidisciplinary
project
which
utilizes
both
real
time
data
and
primary
source
materials
to
help
guide
students
to
discover
the
science
and
history
of
the
Gulf
Stream.
Students
investigate
the
driving
forces
behind
this
ocean
current,
how
it
affects
the
Atlantic
Ocean
and
some
of
mankind's
experiences
dealing
with

The
Antarctic
ice
sheet
changes
in
size
over
the
course
of
a
year.
When
it
is
summer
in
the
southern
hemisphere,
the
ice
sheet
decreases
in
size.
As
the
ice
sheet
melts,
it
releases
fresh
water
into
the
ocean.
In
the
southern
winter
(our
summer),
the
ice
refreezes,
drawing
fresh
water
out
of
the
surrounding
ocean,
leaving
the
salt
behind.
These
seasonal
changes
in
the
ice
sheet
are
examined
in
