Ocean and the Sea

     Oceans cover more than two thirds of the earth’s surface and contain more than 95% of the earth’s water, and yet their vastness is their least impressive feature. Life on earth began in the ocean, and there it continues to thrive. Conservatively, there are hundreds of thousands of species living in our oceans, and we continue to find more every day. The oceans also play a vital role in regulating the temperature of the earth, absorbing solar heat and redistributing it around the world. As much as they give life, oceans are also a source of fear for many, and are frequently used to depict isolation.

Oceans and the Waves 

• John F. Kennedy Quote --We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.

•    Mahatma Gandi --  You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

•  Isaac Newton Quote -- I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

• Pacific Ocean --The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean basin on Earth.The Pacific is also our planet’s deepest water body, average depth of approximately 4,000 meters and was named by explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1520, due to the calmness of the water at the time, pacific means peaceful.

There are 52 different nations that have shorelines along this ocean. This includes nations in Africa, Europe, North America and South America.The word ’Atlantic’ originates from the Greek mythology meaning Sea of Atlas. Islands in the Atlantic are mostly of volcanic origin. Greenland is the largest island in the world and is located in the Atlantic Ocean.The Atlantic has relatively few islands, with the greatest concentration found in the Caribbean region.  The Bermuda Triangle lies between the Cities of Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Fort Lauderdale.
