The sea is a vast and mysterious body of water that covers over 70% of the Earth's surface.

It is
home to a wide variety of life, from tiny plankton to giant whales. The sea is also an important
source of food and resources for humans, and plays a crucial role in regulating the planet's
climate.
The sea is made up of saltwater, which is a mixture of water and dissolved salts. The most
common salt found in seawater is sodium chloride, which is the same salt that is used to season
food. The concentration of salt in seawater varies depending on location and can range from
around 3% to over 4%.
The sea is divided into five main regions: the pelagic zone, the benthic zone, the intertidal zone,
the neritic zone, and the oceanic zone.
The pelagic zone is the open water of the sea, where large creatures such as whales, dolphins,
and sharks swim.
The benthic zone is the sea floor. It is home to a wide variety of plants and animals, including
fish, crabs, and clams.
The intertidal zone is the area between the high and low tide marks. It is home to a unique
group of animals and plants that can tolerate the changing conditions.
The neritic zone is the shallow water along the coast. it is home to many species of fish and
shellfish that are important for human consumption.
The oceanic zone is the deep water beyond the continental shelf, it is characterized by its
darkness, pressure, and low temperatures, and it's where the majority of the sea's biodiversity is
found.
