Oceans

By Nate

Where it is located

There

are 5 different oceans. The Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, Southern Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

Oceans takes up 71% of the world, which is 3 quarters of the world.

There are three groups. They are carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores. In the carnivores group you have some of the most popular fish and mammals in the world in this category like sharks, dolphins, and the killer whale. The most popular herbivores are green sea turtles and manatees.

Producers

There are some producers in the ocean. Most producers in the ocean are plants.  One is a microscopic plant that floats in the ocean floor. There is another one and it’s made from the ground, both of those plants are producers and they give food and nutrients to other things in the ocean. Some things in the ocean don’t need those plants they get their food they get it through photosynthesis.

Unique in the ocean

There are a lot of things unique in the ocean. Under the water it is cold and kind of hot it depends which ocean you’re in, for example the Arctic Ocean it is cold and the Atlantic ocean it is a little hotter. Sharks in the ocean are pretty strange. Most sharks eat other sharks like Great White sharks sometimes eat hammerhead sharks. It is like a whole different world in the ocean.

Consumers

Primary consumers in the ocean include zooplankton, small fish, and crustaceans. The secondary consumers are fish, coral, penguins, whales, and other species that eat the zooplankton. The top predators in the ocean, sharks, killer whales, and leopard seals, eat both primary and secondary consumers. Those are some consumers in the ocean.

Human Impact

It’s bad that some people throw plastic bags in the ocean it is bad because it can kill animals. Storms and other dangerous things that kill important species like fish other animals can’t get any food so they’ll also die. That is why we need to be careful of what we throw away and if somebody kills an animal it is bad because then when a important specie like a fish, if it dies some of the Eco system relies on it.
