Seas and oceans cover 75% percent of the earth`s surface.
3. What can submarines do to help scientists know about the undersea world?
II) While you read
4. What can we learn from the satellite photos?
We can know a wide range of information, including water temperature, depth and the undersea populations.
Submarine helps scientists investigate the seabed and bring samples of marine life back to the surface for further study.
5. What are three groups of marine plants and animals?
II) While you read
6. What would happen if the sea biodiversity were not maintained?
Three groups of marine plants are: some of them live on or depend on the bottom, some move independently of water currents and some are carried along by the currents.
if the sea biodiversity were not maintained, marine life would be at stake.
