 The oceans supply most of the evaporated

water found in the atmosphere.

Approximately 97 percent of all the water
on the earth is found in the oceans. Those
waters can be fresh and salty . The salty
water is unsuitable for human consumption.
 Water that contains
very little dissolved
salts is called fresh
water. It is one of
the most valuable
natural resource.
 Water contains a
large amount of
water is called
saline water .The
degree of
concentration of
salt in sea water is
known as salinity.
 A wave is the
alternative rise and
fall of ocean water
caused by the
action of wind on
the water surface.
 The upper part of a
wave is called a crest
while the lower part
is called as trough.
the vertical distance
between a crest and
a trough is called a
wave height.The
horizontal distance
between two
successive crests is
called a wave length.
 The size of a wave
depends on the
direction of the
wind. natural
disasters like
volcanic eruption
can displace a large
amount of wave
water giving rise to
such tidal waves is
known as tsunami.
