A Journey to
t h e Ocean

Back and forth, back and

forth. Water washes up on a
sandy beach. Then it flows
back into the ocean.

An ocean is a large body
of salt water. The ocean
covers most of Earths surface.

The ocean biome is divided into
the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian,
Arctic, and Southern Oceans.

T he ocean biome is
the largest on Earth.

Even without sunlight, plant and
animal life thrive in the ocean.

Parts of the ocean are very
deep. Sunlight cant reach
the bottom in many areas.

Much of the ocean hasnt
been explored. People need
special equipment to
explore deep underwater.

Animals of t h e
Ocean

The ocean is a habitat for
many animals. There are
animals all over the ocean,
from the surface way down to
the deepest bottoms.

There are thousands of
different fish in the ocean.
They come in many different
shapes, colors, and sizes.

Many f ish, animals, and plants
live around coral reefs.

Coral reefs are made
from tiny animals.
These animals grow hard
skeletons outside their
bodies that stick together.
The skeletons remain even
after the animals have died.

An albatross is a bird that lives
on the ocean. It eats fish and
drinks salt water from the
ocean. Albatrosses glide
on strong gusts of wind
and float on the
water when they
need to rest.

T he albatross can
glide in the air for
many hours.

Krill are about 2.5 inches (6
centimeters) long. Krill gather
plants to eat with their
front legs. Their back legs
move them through the water.

Blue whales are found in every
ocean on Earth. They come to
the surface to breathe air. An
adult blue whale can eat up
to tons (3.6 metric tons) of
krill every day.

Newborn blue whales weigh
more than most cars.

Jellyfish float
through the water.
Jellyfish have
tentacles that hang
from their bodies. They
can sting other animals
that become their prey.

Sea turtles live most of their lives
in the ocean. Their large flippers
help them swim. They come to
the surface to breathe air.

Female turtles return to
land to lay their eggs.

Plants in t h e
Ocean

Ocean plants are similar to
plants on land. They need
sunlight to survive. They release
oxygen. They provide food and
shelter for ocean animals.

Phytoplankton f loat in
the upper layer of the
ocean to collect sunlight.

Phytoplankton are tiny
ocean plants. These
plants are food for
many ocean animals.
