coast life
Sea Turtles live in the the ocean most of their life. after mating season is over its time to make a long trip to land. once they get to the coast they dig a hole and lay hundreds of eggs, and after they are done they cover them up and go back to sea. once its time to crack their eggs, the baby sea turles have to scuttle as fast as they can to the ocean so they dont get picked off by anything that thinks sea turtles are tasty. usually onlt 1 or 2 out of a hundred make it to the ocean.

Euphotic Aphotic Disphotic
i chose a lantern fish in the Euphotic zone, because of its bioluminescence. Which is a living organism the lights up because of a chemical reaction. the lantern fish are smart fish, when they sense their predators they al start flicking their lights on and off to confuse their stalkers. they thrive off of plankton which is any drifting organism.
In the Aphotic zone I picked the sea cucumber. It is like starfish and sea urchins. There are 1,250 known species. a sea cucumber live in the ocean an no other body of water. some find their home 10 ft past the sand and others may find theirs in the deep dart sea.

current summary
there are 17 major ocean currents, and there are 5 of them surrounding the US. most of them are warm currents, but a few of them are cold currents. how you can tell that they are warm or cold, is by where the current is located on the world map. being near the equator most of the currents are warm, but the farther you go north or south the more the currents will be cold currents. when several currents come together its called a gyre. they spin clock-wise in the northern hemisphere and counter clock-wise in the southern hemisphere.

coral seas
taking hundreds of years to fully mature, coral reefs only grow from 5- 25 millimeters a year. coral is an animal that grows like a plant but is actually an animal. butterfly fish can live up to 10 years, in captivity, but in the wild they usually only live for 7. butterfly fish spend most of their time eating coral, coral polyps, and small invertebrates. they work together either, providing food shelter and hygiene.
atoms molecules and seawater
when you first put the water in the ice trey, the water molecules are bouncing around/ off of each other like a crow that doesn't know which way to go. After a few minutes they start to wind down slower and slower till they come to a stand still. but even thought the ice looks frozen the molecules are always moving.

polar bear
A polar bear is a big, fat, white bear that lives in the North Pole. They live along the north coast of Canada, Greenland, and Russia. They hunt seals for food. Polar bears have long bodies, necks, and heads. Older polar bears that are males are 8-11 feet long and they are up to 1,000 pounds. Adult females are about 6 feet long and weigh 4-500 pounds. Their white fur serves as camouflage when finding food. They can smell food that is 10 miles away.A polar bear is a very good swimmer which helps it to catch food.

39th parallel
On the 39th parallel i believe that there are 4 plates, "South American, Antarctic, Pacific and Nazca." If you start in Africa on the 39th and follow it east you will eventually hit Australia. The 39th between Africa and Australia, the pacific plate covers most of the miles.
as we get down to sea level things start to change. first land changes into sea, but thats not what we are looking at. the continental crust floats on top of the lithosphere, which is some of the hottest rock around. attached to the crust you have the shelf which slowly angles towards the oceanic crust.

camouflage- you need to blend in with your surroundings otherwise trying to hunt wont work.
aim- practice makes perfect, and without being able to him your mark, your going to starve.
rewards- with out either skill your survival wont last long.
