the averge temperature of the ocean is 2 degrees C to about 39 degrees F. Water pressure at the deepest point in the ocean is more than 8 ton per square inch. The blue whales, the largest animal on our planet has a heart the size of a volkswagens. deaths and disease caused by polluted coastal waters costs the global economy 12.8 billion dollars a year. the annual econmic impact of hepatitis from tainted seafood alone is 7.2 billion dollars a year. tropical coral reefs border the shores of 109 countries, the majority of which are among the worlds least developed. there are about 4,000 coral reef fish species worldwide. as many as 100 million sharks are killed every year. people will usually catch the shark and cut them and throw them back in the ocean alive still so they can bleed to death. illegal longline fishing which involves lines up to 80 miles long with thousands of baited hooks kills over 300,000 seabirds, including 100,000 albatrosses. more oil reaches the oceans each year as a result of leaking automobiles and non point sources than was spilled in. over the past decade an averge of 600,000 barrels of oil a year has been accidentally spilled from ships. plastic waste kills up to million seabirds, 100,000 sea mammals and countless fsh every year. there is so much gold in the oceans that everyone on earth could have 9 pounds of gold to them selfs.

 The Pacific Ocean contains around 25000 different islands, many more than are found in Earth’s other oceans. The Pacific Ocean’s name has an original meaning of ‘peaceful sea. The Bermuda Triangle is located in the Atlantic Ocean. The Bermuda Triangle or Devil's Triangle is an area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States of America, which has high unexplained disappearances of ships and aircraft. The Atlantic Ocean’s name refers to Atlas of Greek mythology. The oceans are salty because water has dissolved chemicals in the water the animals that live in the ocean really cant live outside the oceans because of the salt, sharks have been known to swim outside of the oceans but not for long.

ocean facts

Oceans cover about 70% of the earth’s surface

Oceans contain roughly about 97% of earth water supply

Oceans affect temperatures and weather

All the oceans are connected together

Pacific Ocean – 64,186,000 area square miles depth 15,215, deepest depth the Mariana trench 36,200

Atlantic ocean- 33,420,000 area square miles depth 12,881, deepest depth the Puerto Rico trench 28,231

Indiana ocean- 28,350,000 area square miles depth 13,002, deepest depth the java trench 25,344

Antarctic ocean also known as the Southern ocean- 7,848,300 area square miles depth 13,100-16,400 deepest depth the southern end of the south sandwich trench 23,736

Arctic ocean- 5,106,000 area square miles depth 3,953 deepest depth Eurasia basin 17,881

Volcanoes under water get up to 2 stories tall white smoke come out of them which are cooler and often contain white compounds. Experts say that in the volcanoes the water is superheated which can get up to 750 degrees the pressure gets up to 500 times stronger than the earth atmosphere even though the volcanoes have toxic metals it doesn’t harm animals. These volcanoes are in the Pacific Ocean.

The Mariana trench is located in the Pacific Ocean just east of the 14 Mariana island 11”21’ north latitude and 142” 12” east longitude near Japan. It is the deepest part of the earth’s oceans and is the earth’s itself. It was created by a phenomena in which a plate topped by the oceanic crust and sub ducted under a plate topped by ocean crust. The deepest part of the trench is called the challenger deep.

The oceans have many features like land there’s mountains, canyons, plateaus, plains, and deep trenches.

Oceans are full of life like plankton, gigantic blue whales, plants, coral, fish, jellyfish, sea stars, sharks, rays, sea turtles, dolphins, many different types of whales, octopuses, squid, lancet fish, lantern fish, anglerfish, gulper eels, viperfish, huge clams, shrimp, tube worms, frogfishes, seals, sea lions,

The farther you go in the oceans the colder and darker it gets. The water pressure gets harder to a marine boat could be crusted in seconds or the windows could brake and you would drowned.

Some fish live in the more dark areas they have their own lights to see and they prey on smaller animals. They hind in the dark and wait for their prey to swim by and they attack.

The coldest ocean is the Arctic Ocean it is also the smallest ocean because this ocean is covered in ice.

The warmest ocean is the Indiana Ocean but the south of the waters are cold where the ocean meets the southern ocean.
