3 In and Out Have you ever wondered what would happen if we didn t have the sea? Well, the world would dry up. With no water we can t live. Did you know that there are mountains and canyons in the ocean? A computer called Echo Soundings found out that there are canyons six times as deep as the Grand Canyon. There are also mountains more than twice as tall as Mount Everest. Wavy facts Did you know that there are hills in the sea? Mountain in the ocean. 1

4 A Tsunami and a Hurricane The ocean can cause destruction. Waves can create a big deluge and crash into cities. But what is the cause of this? Tsunamis can create great devastation. When an earthquake happens under the ocean, it makes a big wave called a tsunami. If the wave is close to shore it will cause a flood, destroying cities and sometimes people die. Hurricanes are also a cause of damage from the ocean. Hurricanes are violent storms. They can push the water making big waves. These waves can cause floods. Floods can make it hard for people to survive if the people don t have food or shelter. Wavy facts Did you know that floods can kill thousands of people? 2 A big wave making a flood.

5 The Moon and the Tide What is a tide? Tides are the rise and fall of the ocean. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon and the rotation of the earth. Tides have cycles. The cycles are caused by the moon rotating the earth and the position of the sun changing. The ocean is always rising and falling. The cycles are: 1) the sea levels rises 2) high tide 3)sea level falls 4)low tide 5) repeats. Wavy facts did you know that if we did not have gravity then we would fly out into space swirling around? The location of the moon affects the tide the most. The gravity (or pull) of the moon causes a high tide on the side of the earth closest to it and on the opposite side. Low tides are on the sides of the earth ninety degrees from the moon. 3 Picture showing high and low tide. The moon and a wave. A moon making a wave.

6 Amazing ocean Animals How do fish live in the ocean? Some fish eat plants that grow in the water. Bigger fish eat those fish. Then bigger fish eat those fish. Than a colossal fish like a whale or a shark will eat that fish. This is called the food chain. Different ocean animals live at different levels of the ocean. Most live at the top in the sunlit zone, such as minnows, krill, sharks, whales, dolphins, etc. Other fish, like the giant squid, live in the twilight zone where there is little light. Few animal life live at the bottom in the midnight zone where it is cold and pitch- Fish in the sea. black A hump back anglerfish. The humpback anglerfish, aka black sea devil, lives deep in the ocean, so it uses a light bulb to lure in its prey. 4 A seal in the sea.

7 OCEAN NEEDS HELP You know that the ocean may cause a problem but did you know the ocean has a problem too? If you see trash in the ocean then you ll know that people are polluting. Pollution causes animals in the ocean to die. Pollution hurts the ocean, the ocean life, the earth, and us. We can all do our part to keep the ocean clean. Wavy facts A turtle with a plastic ring around him or her. A seal eating a plastic bottle. A turtle eating a plastic bag. Did you know that when people throw cans into the ocean sometimes little fish go in them and get stuck and die? If they can t get food, they will starve, and when they grow the cans will choke them? 5

8 Glossary Colossal- something big or very big Deluge- a big wave Devastation Great destruction or damage Echo soundings- a computer that can look in the sea Food chain living things which eat the lesser living thing Hurricane a storm with a violent wind Moon- a big round ball that orbits the earth Pollution putting harmful things into the environment Tides - the rise and fall of the ocean Tsunami- a big wave caused by an earthquake or disturbance 6
