Oceans

Oceans By: Morgan McGovern

There are four major oceans in the world The Pacific, Arctic, Atlantic and the Indian, and they all are being polluted day after day.

People think of oceans of big giant waste dumps and they can just throw all there trash and sewage into it. From people doing this,

oceans get polluted and it affects the animals food chains because they end up dying from all the pollution happening to our oceans

today. People don't realize that oceans provide us with so many things. For example, the ocean serves as a source of food, energy, and

minerals. Also the ocean helps keep the earths climate healthful, it regulates the air temperature and it supplies the

moisture of rainfall.

Today, life in the ocean is decreasing almost everyday because of what we do to it. The types of animals living in our oceans are plankton,

nekton, and benthos. Plankton are animals and plants that drift with the current. Plankton have very little ability to move through the water on

their own. Also most of them aren't ever seen without a microscope. Nekton are animals that swim freely. They include fish, squids, and marine

mammals. Benthos are plants or animals that live on or near the bottom of the ocean. Another name for benthos are bottom dwellers. All these

groups of different plants or animals put together make up a natural living habitat called the ocean.
