Ocean and seas
An ocean is a continuous body of
salt water that is contained in an
enormous basin on Earth’s
surface. The major oceans and
their marginal seas cover nearly
71 percent of Earth’s surface,
with an average depth of 3,688 This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC

meters (12,100 feet). The “seven

seas” has been used to describe
the world’s great water bodies
for a long time. But there are
actually about 50 water
formations that can be called a
“sea,” and they are quite diverse
when it comes to their size,
location, and ecosystem.
 How they help?
• Oceans help keep Earth’s climate habitable. By
moving water around the globe, the oceans help to
keep places from getting too hot or too cold.

• Oceans also help keep the planet warm. In the

same way that hot water in a bathtub stays warm
longer than hot chocolate in a small cup, the vast
amount of warm water stores heat in the ocean.
Then ocean currents carry that heat around the
planet. Without oceans, the Earth would be an icy
rock.
• Some of the smallest animals on Earth can be
found in the ocean. Sea animals like zooplankton
are so small you can see them only with a
microscope. Big fish swim through these waters
too, such as great white sharks, manta rays, and
ocean sunfish.

• The largest animal ever to live on Earth is an ocean

mammal called the blue whale. It’s as long as two
school buses! Dolphins, porpoises, and sea lions are
also ocean-dwelling mammals.
