The first thing that you should know is that the ocean Is huge!
Covering a massive 70 percent of the planet, more than 80 percent of the ocean has never
been mapped.
With so much unexplored water, who knows what mysteries of the deep we have yet to discover.
The largest ocean in the world is the Pacific Ocean which covers 30 percent of the earth.
The plants and algae of the ocean is critical for supporting life on the land.
It is estimated that the ocean produces more than half of the oxygen that land animals
(including humans) need to survive.
Wow the ocean is so interesting!

The deepest point in the ocean found so far is the Marina Trench.
One of the deepest creatures swimming in the ocean is the fangtooth fish!
This creepy looking fish has massive chompers that can be used to eat other sea animals
and fish.
Fangtooth fishies have been found swimming at a depth of 5000 metres.
Bear in mind that most human divers rarely dive below 40 metres.
The pressure from the water at this level would crush a humans delicate body!
The most biodiverse and lively part of the ocean is the incredible and beautiful coral
reefs.
These reefs make up less than one percent of the oceans footprint but are home to more
than 25 percent of all marine life!
Visiting one of these havens for life can be a once in a lifetime experience.
One of the worlds most famous reefs is Great Barrier reef in Australia.
The Belize barrier reef contains the famous “great blue hole” and its widely recognised
and one of the worlds top diving locations!
Did you know that there are more than nine times as many seaweed plants in the ocean

That’s a lot of seaweed.
Seaweeds are among the fastest growing organisms in the world with some plants growing up to
one metre In a day!
Seaweed is not technically considered to be a plant or an animal by scientists!
Every year the 8th of June is world ocean day!

These great masses of liquid water are one of the main reasons our planet is special.
Thanks for watching fun facts about the ocean, we will see you, next Friday.
