Location
The oceans location is at almost every latitude. The oceans elevation is
about 400 meters below sea level, but the pacific ocean’s floor is the lowest place
on earth.

Plants
There are many plants in the ocean that help our environment. Because
of how much people litter we are losing some plants.
Here are some plants: Coral reef, Seaweed, Algae, Kelp, Sea grass, and
Red algae.
Animals
Animals that live in the ocean can be at any depth. I know that they
mainly live in the higher part, but some do live in the twilight zone.
Here are some animals: Whales, Dolphins, Angel fish, EEl, Jellyfish, Seal, Snapping turtle, Otter,
Squid, Clown fish, Shark, and Star fish.

Some extra facts about
the ocean
From the seashore to the deepest depths, the oceans are home to some
of the most awesome life on earth. Most plants are found in the sunlit part of the
ocean. Animals are found at all parts, though 90% of the marine marine species
dwell on the seabed, where one rock can be home to as many as ten major
animals, such as corals, mollusks, and sponges.
Mammals
All, mammals need air to breath, so you might be surprised to find
mammals living in the ocean. There are lots of sea mammals, however including
dolphins, sea lions, walrus, porpoise, and manatees. They all come up to land to
breath air,and like mammals,they don’t lay eggs.
Fish
Fish, are the most diverse colony of animals in the ocean. There are
more than 15,300 known types of marine fish, and scientist think that there are
thousands more to be found. New fish species are being logged at a pretty good
rate of three per week.
Plant like
animals
Anemones, sponges, and sea squirts are marine animals, but they look
and act more like plants. Instead of looking for their food they stay seated in one
spot and wait for floating planktonic creatures to come into their reach.
Ocean forests
Forests, of giant
seaweeds are called kelp are a home, and hunting ground for a few
different creatures in the shallow, cool waters above rocky seabeds. The
towering kelp holds on to the rocky bottom with rootlike structures called
holdfasts.
Crustaceans
Crabs, and other types of crustaceans, including shrimps, lobsters, and
barnacles have bony skeletons on the outside of their bodies. Crabs, and shrimp
can swim, but lobsters can only crawl along the seabed. Barnacles stick to a hard
spot, and never ever move.
Watery planet
Most of us of probably think of are earth as being mostly ground, but about
70% of the earth’s surface is covered in salt water. The large area of water
between these contents are called oceans. Areas of salt water that are close to
land, partly, or completely surrounded by land are called seas.
Water
Cycle
The, ocean exchanges water with the atmosphere in a never ending
cycle. Heat from the sun turns water at the ocean’s surface into vapor. This rises
into the sky, where it then cools off and turns back into droplets that form clouds.
The clouds pour rain, and snow which forms streams, rivers, and glaciers that flow
back into the ocean. Even the water that sinks into the ground can find its way
back to the ocean.
Sea
feature
About, 115,830 sq.mi. ( 300,00 km ) of the seabed below the warm
2
shallow waters of the tropics are covered in hedge like structures called coral
reefs. The great barrier reef of the coast of Australia, in the Pacific ocean, is the
world’s biggest coral reef system.
Ocean trade
link Every, year almost 50,000 (a fourth) of the world’s freight use a straight
of Malacca as a shortcut between two oceans such as the Pacific, and Indian. The
channel is one of the most busy shipping routes in the world
Under
the sea
Just a century ago, very little was discovered about the ocean floor.
Following the sonar, and echo-sounding equipment. In the early 30’s we knew lots
about the sea-floor like it’s the darkest part of the ocean, or very few animals live
there these are little facts that turn into one big discovery.
