The Sea

What do you know about the sea? We know that itlooks very pretty when the sun is shining on it. We also know that it can bevery rough when there is a strong wind. What other things do we know about it?

The first thing to remember is that the sea isvery big. When you look at the map of the world you will find there is morewater than land. The sea covers three quarters of the world.

The sea is also very deep in some places. It isnot deep everywhere. Some parts of the sea are very shallow. But in some placesthe depth of the sea is very great. There is one spot, near Japan, where thesea is nearly 11 kilometers deep! The highest mountain in the world is about 9kilometers high. If that mountain were put into the sea at that place, therewould be 2 kilometers of water above it! What a deep place!

If you have swum in the sea, you know that itis salty. You can taste the salt. Rivers, which flow into the sea, carry saltfrom the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are saltier than other parts.There is one sea, called the Dead Sea, which is very salty. It is so salty thatswimmers cannot sink! Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea!

In most parts of the sea, there are plenty offishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down.There are also millions of tiny living things that float in the sea. Thesefloating things are so small that it is hard to see them. Many fish live byeating these.

The sea can be very cold Divers who go deepdown in the sea, know this. On the top the water may be warm. When the divergoes downwards, the sea becomes colder and colder. Another thing happens. Whenthe diver goes deeper, the water above presses down on him. It squeezes him.Then the diver has to wear clothes made of metal. But he cannot go very deep.Some people who wanted to go very deep used a very strong diving ship! Theywent down to the deepest part of the sea in it. They went down to a depth ofeleven kilometers!
