Microbial life can be found throughout the ocean, from rocks and sediments beneath the seafloor, across the vast stretches of open water, to intertidal and surf zones. Ocean Plants Ocean plants are critical to marine life—they are an important food source, they provide oxygen to surrounding marine life, and they supply refuge and nursery grounds. More @Wikipedia

- Underwater Volcanoes - Woods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionHowever, the most active volcanic activity is found along ocean ridges, places where tectonic plates are pulling apart and lava wells up from beneath the surface to fill the gaps. Many large volcanoes are also associated with mid-plate “hotspots”: huge plumes of hot mantle rock that can extend hundreds of kilometers into the depths of Earth ...
- Ocean Currents | NASA EarthdataClimate Indicators hold key information for the most relevant domains of climate change: temperature and energy, atmospheric composition, ocean and water as well as the cryosphere. Cryosphere The cryosphere encompasses the frozen parts of Earth, including glaciers and ice sheets, sea ice, and any other frozen body of water.
- Twilight Zone - Woods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionAnimals in the twilight zone help support the ocean’s food web and transport huge amounts of carbon from surface waters into the deep ocean, helping to regulate global climate. So far, the twilight zone is largely unexplored and its rich biodiversity has remained mostly beyond the reach of commercial fishing—and the international laws that ...
- Seamounts - Woods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionAt mid-ocean ridges, plates are spreading apart and magma rises to fill the gaps. Near subduction zones, plates collide, forcing ocean crust down toward Earth’s hot interior, where this crustal material melts, forming magma that rises buoyantly back to the surface and erupts to create volcanoes and seamounts.
