There is only one ocean. It divided into five different pasts: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian,
Antarctic and Arctic Oceans. There are also many other smaller seas, gulfs and bays which form part of
them. Altogether they cover seventy-five percent of the earth’s surface. For centuries, people have been
challenged by the mysteries that lie beneath the ocean. However, today’s scientists have overcome
many of the challenges of the depth by using modern devices. They send submarines to investigate the
seabed and bring samples of marine life back to the surface for further study. Satellite photographs
provide a wide range of information, including water temperature, depth and undersea populations. If
modern technology did not exist, we would never have such precious information.
