Ocean
The huge body of salt water that covers most of Earth.
What is it?
The ocean is a big, salty body of water that covers about 70% of Earth's surface. It is home to millions of animals and plants, including sharks, fish, whales, and coral. The ocean is divided into five main parts: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic Oceans. The ocean helps control the weather and provides food for people.
Why it matters
The ocean is important for all life on Earth. It produces half of the oxygen we breathe. It also absorbs carbon dioxide, which helps slow down climate change. Protecting the ocean is essential for the planet's health.
