Ocean Literacy

      My Ocean Literacy has changed a little bit. The Earth has 1 big ocean, however, it is split into a bunch of different oceans with many different features. These features include different temperature, different animals that inhabit it, and it has different plants and ground level in each ocean. I do however think it is true that the ocean and its inhabitants shape the features of the earth. The ocean affects the weather, it affects the shorelines of Continents and it greatly influences diets of not just humans but every animal on the planet.  The ocean is the earths source of water and it is the sole reason why Earth can support life and no other planet can.
     Because the feautures of the different oceans are so different there are many different ecosystems that support life of all different kinds. Like how the Arctic Oceans have animals that you would not see in the Indian Ocean. Without the Oceans, humans would not exist. Therefore we are forever connected to the ocean. We completely rely on the Ocean whether we think about it or not. The Ocean is very mysterious because we may think we know a lot about it but the fact of the matter is we don't know a lot. It is physically impossible so far to explore the farthest depths of the ocean and I feel like we never will... and I'm totally okay with that. Knowledge is important, but the mystery of the Earth is what makes life interesting.
