Humans impact on the ocean
Us humans have heavily affected the
oceans by 40% by polluting the oceans
with bottles, oil spills, over fishing,
dumping waste, and altering ocean
ecosystems beyond their natural state. We
are decreasing important species in the
ocean. We can try to prevent these
problems by recycling and being a lot
more conscience with what we actually
do to the ocean.

Geological features of the ocean
floor
• The deepest parts of the oceans come from the
continental slopes that lead out from the
continental shelves.
• Plains, long ocean ridges known as mountain
ranges, isolated mountains called seamounts,
and ocean trenches, which are the deepest
parts of the oceans are all contained in the
abyss.
• There are underwater mountains called
seamounts which could also be called guyots.
• Extinct volcanoes even rise up to the surface
which creates islands.
Commercial value in the ocean
• We get money from fishing, crabs,
lobsters, etc.
• Going to the beach
• Scuba diving (resort attractions)
