The World’s Amazing Oceans
AThere are five oceans - the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian,Southern and the Arctic Oceans. They cover an amazing 71 % of the Earth's surface and make up 97% of its water supply, so they're very important for our survival!
BWe've only explored 10% of the oceans. So far, scientists have recorded more than 230,000 species of living creatures and plants and that's just underwater! Above the waves, there are also thousands of species of seabirds and sea mammals that live around and feed from the oceans.
COur oceans are full of amazing beauty, from colourful coral reefs to majestic whales! The oceans help to control wind patterns and rainfall, too, and ocean currents move heat around the world. They also take carbon dioxide (C02) out of the air.
DUnfortunately, pollution from factories is poisoning fish in our oceans. Rubbish such as plastic bags and soda cans also kills 100,000 sea creatures every year, and, because of overfishing, there are fewer fish every day.
ETo help save our precious oceans, don't buy seafood that is endangered like bluefin tuna. Also, recycle your plastic bottles and cans so they don't end up in the sea. Over 3 billion years ago, life on Earth began in the oceans. Let's protect them together!
