The ocean has under water mountain chains, some of which are volcanoes. Deep in the ocean you can see the plates spreading apart and coming together in some places. The mid ocean ridge is the longest and largest mountain chain on earth.

There are coral reefs in the warm shallow waters, like the Great barrier reef off the coast of Australia. The ring of fire is a big circle of underwater volcanoes, and tectonic plates causing many earth quakes and volcanic activity in the pacific.

Plankton are photosynthetic organisms. They supply oxygen to Earth. Plankton are autotrophs

There are many types of aquatic animals like sharks, whales, fish, amphibians, cessations, reptiles(salt water crocodile)

We dump chemicals and waste in the oceans which kills the ecosystems. Some people are trying to preserve the coral reefs so the ecosystems. We try to get oil out of the ocean and sometimes there are spills which kill ecosystems also.

We get many of resources out of the ocean. We get oils and minerals out of the ocean for our cars and houses. The ocean also brings the fishing industry good money and we get our seafood from here, so keep it clean. We also energy from the hydroelectric power stations.
