Read the passage and do the task that follow
There is only one ocean. It is divided into five different parts: 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 75 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 may 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 the
undersea populations. If modern technology did not exist, we would never have
such precious information
Marine plants and animals fall into three major groups. Some of them
live on or depend on the bottom like the starfish. Some are swimming animals
such as fishes and sharks that move independently of water currents while
others are tiny organisms that are carried along by the currents like the jellyfish.
Plants and animals of the sea, however small or oversized, all contribute to its
biodiversity. Unless this biodiversity were maintained, marine life would be at
stake.
