1. Task 19.
The Wonders of the Oceans
The oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface, making them a vital part of our planet.
These vast bodies of water are home to a stunning array of marine life, from the tiniest microorganisms to the majestic whales.
Oceans play a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate. They absorb a significant amount of carbon dioxide and produce a
large portion of the oxygen we breathe. Additionally, they influence weather patterns, helping to distribute heat around the globe.
Despite their importance, the oceans face numerous threats, including pollution, overfishing, and climate change.
These issues not only harm marine life but also impact human communities that depend on the oceans for sustenance and livelihoods.
Preserving the health of our oceans is a collective responsibility. By adopting sustainable practices, reducing plastic waste,
and addressing climate change, we can ensure that the oceans continue to thrive and provide for future generations.
What threatens the health of the oceans, according to the passage?
