Dodecahedron Research Paper: Ocean
2. An ocean is considered a very large expansion version of a sea, where each sea is divided into one main area geographically. The ocean is considered the first biome to exist on planet Earth before any biome could exist. All existing oceans are made of saline water that composes most of the Earth’s hydrosphere. The word “ocean” was originally representative on huge bodies of water that fills up the Earth’s land mass. The ocean is also considered the first biome due that life were be able to survive here for more than 3 million years ago. The unique fact about oceans is that it makes Earth really beautiful in our solar system, making Earth the only planet with water supply. All oceans serve a functional

As we should know, there are multiple actions that can occur in this marine-type biome that can be described in every ideas. Most people and scientists failed to understand life that occurs in the ocean, this is because marine plants and animals live in territories where humans can occupy on. Even though certain areas or depths of the ocean is unexplored, it is the habitat of 230,000 known species. There are also other oceans that are not found in Earth or within the Solar System because these oceans have different mixture of elements and compounds, which are called extraterrestrial oceans. So far, the only extraterrestrial liquids that is found within the Solar System (which is made ethane and methane) is Saturn’s largest moon known as “The Lakes of Titan”. Otherwise, there are ocean planets that exist outside the Solar System, which are considered exoplanets that the whole surface is completely made out of …show more content…
The five types of oceans are the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean. The location of the Pacific Ocean is right around between the continents of Asia, North America, Australia, and South America. The location between the Atlantic Ocean is right around between the continents of North America, Europe, South America, and Africa. The location of the Indian Ocean is right around between the continents of Africa, Australia, and Asia. The location of the Arctic Ocean is right around between the continents of North America, Europe, and Asia. The location of the Southern Ocean is right around between one continent of Antarctica and the oceans of the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian
Have you ever seen Finding Dory and wondered about all those creatures living under the sea? The ocean is the largest out of all of the ecosystems it is a stretch of sea which is divided geographically into four sections called the Atlantic, Indian, Antarctic, and Arctic Ocean the elements found in the ocean is H2O which makes water and NaCl making sodium chloride but there are main chemicals in sea salt as well such as sulfate magnesium potassium and calcium the ocean gets its saltiness because of when it rains on land the rain water dissolves the minerals from the rock then that rainwater flows into rivers and then to the sea when the water undergoes evaporation it leaves the minerals hence why the ocean is salty. In different parts of
The large, beautiful bodies of water are home to an infinite number of strange creatures and bewildering phenomena. Oceans make up about three-fifths of the earth and yet we have little idea about what lies in those darkened depths. There are many mysteries of the oceans that still have no explanation. To start with, scattered around oceans there trenches, incidentally all of them are approximately seven miles deep.
An entire new world, different from our own exists beneath the surface of our oceans. This life is full of color, shapes, sizes, wonder, and even darkness. Much of this life has yet to be explored but we still know that beneath the waves exist the most beautiful creatures and the most bizarre. Magical areas such as the coral reef and mysterious areas such as the depths of the ocean are homes to over 700,000 species that live in the ocean. This includes the eighty percent of the ocean that has yet to be explored. Even though there may be separate oceans on this planet, they are still interconnected by a body of salt water. No area of the ocean is the same, which brings us to the wonderful fact that so many different species are able to flourish
The Ocean is 70 percent of the earth surface, humans have explored less than five percent of the ocean, and is home to innumerable amount of living organisms. One of its oldest inhabitants is the Cheloniidae dates back to the Triassic era, roughly 250 million years ago, (Wang et al.,
The world is home to many living things, the majority of life on earth though is living in the ocean with a percent of 94%. Since the beginning of the 1800s, man has been mapping the great oceans and what’s in them, but no more than 90 years ago have we started to look deeper. The ocean hasn't been completely explored, but with the advances in ocean exploration technology, scuba diving’s, and with those finds of strange creatures and treasures along the way.
and identified how it changed as the Earth warmed. It suggests a massive reorganisation of ocean

The Ocean forms a big part of our planet. The Ocean covers the 71 percent of our planet, just like that. There is something called “Ocean Currents”. The Ocean Currents is a continuous, directed movement of seawater. The Ocean Currents are there like it is in the ocean.
<b>Introduction</b><br>Think of a world which existed 290 million years ago. As you look out over the terane in front of you, you think that you are on an alien planet. You see volcanoes spewing ash and lava. Beside them is the ocean which is swarming with many different species of echinoderms, bryozoans and brachiopods. As you look down onto the sea floor you are amazed at the countless number of starfish and urchins. Some animals leave you can't even describe and you have no idea even what phylum they belong to. This is a world at its height in diversity of oceanic species. Millions of wonderous species existed at this time in the ocean and most of them will never appear again in earth's history. In the geologic time scale, a million
However, with the same inner drive to discover space should come the intention of wanting to explore the ocean. Humans have laid eyes on only about 5% of the oceans in entirety, and the necessary increase in funding would allow for the other 95% to be seen and known. All the water on our Blue Planet covers roughly 71% of the earth’s surface. Luckily, NOAA researchers have used their inner curiosity and taken action, finding out more and more about the five oceans that span the earth, and all the life that lives in them.
Tetra was a turtle; She was not unlike other turtles. She had scutes on her carapace just like all the others. However, she was also quite different from all the other turtles because her scutes were shaped like tiny triangles, which between you and me is very unusual for a turtle.
The Indian Ocean, considered the third largest ocean, is located between Australia and Antarctica. This Ocean is a major sea lane connecting the Middle East, East Asia and Africa with Europe and the Americas. The Ocean is essential because of its location. The location helps to boast the production of trade global around the world. It is rich with resources such as natural oil and marine life. The ships that travel the ocean contain over half the world’s international trade cargo and shipment. The trade system is the way of life for people all over
The ocean gives the world resources. Without resources, the first people would have never moved on and learned how to live like the citizens do now. One of the many things the ocean provides for humanity is Carbon. Carbon is a gas that humans breathe out. But plants breath it in and breathe out Oxygen, which humans breathe in. Carbon is a gas that people and plants need to survive. Another type of Carbon is the form that workers melt to make useful tools for civilization. The ocean also provides us over half of the Oxygen that people breathe. Life would not have survived the 4.543 billion years
The continent that is directly above Africa is Europe. The ocean that touches the shores of Europe and South America is the Atlantic Ocean. Which the fun thing is that another ocean that touches the shore of Europe is the Arctic Ocean. There is an ocean that touches the shore of Asia and South America that ocean is called the Indian Ocean, the Indian Ocean also lies south of Asia. The North and Western hemispheres is located in the United States. All four hemispheres North, South, Eastern and Western hemispheres is located in Africa. There is three continents that run through the equator is Asia, Africa, and South
The few facts that are known about the ocean and its processes are not a part of common knowledge. This is due to the lack of information that is advertised to the public, lack of
