The Ocean is the world’s largest reservoir of water, covering 70% of Earth’s surface. It is the primary component of our planet’s hydrosphere and influences climate and weather patterns as a huge heat sink. Its biological processes create at least half of the oxygen people breathe. It also regulates rainfall and droughts, holds 97% of […]

Ocean: A vast, continuously moving body of salt water that covers 71 percent of Earth’s surface. Oceans supply the world with half of its oxygen and play an important role in transferring heat from the Equator to the poles. Evaporation from the oceans’ surface also brings rain to many places on the planet. While oceanographers […]
