Today I am exploring the Ocean, here is the information that I have gathered so far. The Ocean covers over 70% of the Earth’s surface, it holds about 320 million cubic miles of water, which is over 97% of Earth’s water supply. The Temperature of the ocean varies from top to bottom. The upper layer which is about 200ft down is warmer that the lower part , the thermocline, because the top gets warmed by the sun. The temperature of the water can affect the productivity of organisms living in it. The Ocean contains 99% of the the living space on Earth, from the smallest single-cell organisms, to the planet's largest animal, the blue whale. There are many plants in the ocean. Including: Coral reefs, Sea Anemone, and sea grass. Not many plants can survive in deep places in the ocean, they can survive as far a the sun’s rays support photosynthesis.

There are many primary consumers in the ocean including; zooplankton, small fish, and seaweed. Some of the secondary consumers are fish, dolphins, whales, and other species that eat zooplankton. Some of the top predators in the Ocean are sharks, killer whales, and leopard seals, which eat both primary and secondary consumers. The Pacific Ocean is the largest Oceans. It covers 30% of the Earth’s surface, it is located at 8.9° S, 124.6° W. The Atlantic, Arctic, Indian, and Southern are the other 4 Major Oceans of the World. The Atlantic ocean is the second largest ocean in the World. Greenland, The World’s largest island, is located in the Atlantic ocean. The Arctic ocean is near the North pole, Many polar bears live on the Arctic ice. The Indian Ocean is located near Africa. It is the largest breeding ground for the humpback
