Oceans & Marine Life

Most of the planet is ocean and most of that ocean is barely explored, which makes it the largest gap in our general knowledge of our own world. This category covers the basins and their scale, the physical processes, tides, salinity, currents, that govern them, and the creatures that live at every depth. It includes coral reefs, which support a disproportionate share of marine life from a tiny share of the seabed. The explanations connect an organism to the conditions it lives in, since almost every marine adaptation answers a problem of pressure, light or temperature.
