1. Oceans are essential to life, providing food, energy, resources,
climate, and oxygen. Water is a key natural resource (Science, Geography) |

|
2. Oceans provide biodiversity, several life forms are endangered.
There are compex ecosystems dependent upon the ocean. (reefs, coral, kelp forests, coastal
habitats) (Science) |

|
3. Streams, lakes, rivers, wetlands form watersheds that lead to
the ocean (coastal waterways, seaports, transportation, human settlements, coastal areas,
ocean travel (Geography) |
