The water cycle never ends because the salty ocean water constantly supplies fresh water to the continents. Our school is located in Rancho Cordova, California near Sacramento. Cordova Lane is proud to be part of Folsom Cordova Unified School District. We are a Project Oceans School and offer a wide range of marine studies activities. The information in this World Wide Web system will help you or your students gain a better insight into the wonderful, fun world of coastal marine life.

The ocean often looks blue because sunlight shines on tiny particles suspended in the water. Along the shores of some areas, however, the water looks green because the blue water is mixed with yellow pigments present in floating plants. The NODC also operates the World Data Center A, Oceanography . The ocean warming covers a band from 10 degrees N to 10 degrees S and extends more than 90 degrees of longitude. Typically, the warming starts late in the boreal spring or summer and builds to a peak at the end of the year, with the event usually over by the following summer.
