Why is the ocean vital for our survival? - Woods Hole Oceanographic . . . Without the ocean, life as we know it wouldn't be possible There are a number of key reasons why First, the ocean is the largest source of oxygen on Earth According to scientists, approximately half of the planet's oxygen production originates from the sea Most of this oxygen is created in the top 200 meters (656 feet) of the ocean's surface Within this depth, sunlight penetrates
Ocean Circulation - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Ocean circulation refers to the flow of water throughout the world's oceans, which acts as a fundamental driver of Earth's climate This continuous movement redistributes heat, cycles essential nutrients for marine life, and affects the structure and health of ocean ecosystems

Why is pressure different in the ocean? - Woods Hole Oceanographic . . . Ocean waters cover about 70 percent of the planet On average, that water is 3,800 meters (almost 2 4 miles) deep But in the deepest spots, seawater fills a mind-boggling 11,000 meters (6 8 miles) of space above the seafloor As anyone who has tried diving to the bottom of a deep pool knows, all that water gets heavy-fast Extreme pressure is one reason why the ocean floor is still largely
