The earth is a water planet, even tho starting of as a molten rock planet the question still needs to be asked, what brought us to life. Evolution is what got us to. And the ocean and water, just happened to to be the perfect element to create life. Nobody could have the exact answer to how our ocean became to be but the theories give us the ideas.
When we look at out our world from space, there is a very clear picture of the ocean. Do we know how our ocean became split up in different parts, how come our oceans don't always change in shape? These are questions that have been asked before. When i explained the idea of how plate tectonics may have been the right answer to these questions i only stated that this could be a reason why the ocean has its shape.
Plate tectonics according to google's dictionary is “a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust

Each of these crustal plates are are connected in a way, fitting in with each other like a puzzle, and because they are connected and so close to one another if one moves it causes a chain reaction and effects all the other ones. What causes the plates to move is convection currents which is the process in which is an intense heat transfer that has its most effect within the plates causing them to rapidly react, by shifting. In the core reaching the temperature of 9,900 degrees fahrenheit the tremendous amount of heat energy is generated there, and thanks to the convection currents it helps to carry the energy to the surface of the planet to then be

    Liminal Shores, Agential Oceans After being reminded of Hayao Miyazaki’s film Ponyo in Mel Y. Chen’s Animacies, I became interested in the liminal or transitional properties of the seashore in Ponyo and A Tale for the Time Being. At the beginning of Ponyo, a young boy named Sōsuke finds the titular character as a fish trapped in a glass jar near the seashore. He breaks her free, slightly cutting himself, and Ponyo licks his cut and begins her transmogrification from fish into chicken, into little human girl. Chen argues that, “The fish/chicken/little girl is far from a binary logic; she is a blending that is partial and contingent and enacted across time”…

    he movement of the tectonic plates causing a shaking of the Earth’s surface, is an earthquake.

Based on this model, the crust the coolest part of the mantle, make up Earth’s strong outer layer, known as the lithosphere. Right beneath the lithosphere is the asthenosphere, the hottest part of the mantle.

    An earthquake is the phenomenon that a huge energy suddenly released and appeared in the Earth’s crust when two moved plates slip past one another. The earthquakes usually happen in the convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries and transform boundaries. In the three kinds of boundaries, the convergent boundary often produces the largest magnitude earthquakes. Because when the two plates collide strongly in the convergent boundary, the extreme pressure and the great friction will appear. So the convergent boundary is more likely to have a large magnitude earthquake.…

    A tsunami is a seismic sea wave. Displacement of water forms a sequence of waves and this generally happens in an ocean or a large lake. Tsunamis are different because normal waves are caused by wind or tides, which is actually generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun. According to Source 1, the first recorded tsunami was back in 7000-6000 BCE and this was in Portugal but the primary cause is unknown. Since then there have been many tsunamis that have caused damage, two of the moderately recent ones were the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami and the 2011 Tohoku tsunami.…
