looks beautiful on a fine sunny day and it can be very rough when there is a strong wind. What other
things do we do about it? Of course, the sea is very large. In the world there is more sea than land. The
sea covers three quarters of the earth. The sea is also very deep in some places. It is not deep
everywhere; some parts of it are very great. At one spot, near Japan the sea is nearly 11kilometres deep
just think of it, the highest mountain in the world is only 9 kilometres high! If you have swum in the sea,
you know that the water is salty. Rivers carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are
more salty than other parts. Do you know the Dead Sea in Arabia? It is very salty. Swimmers cannot
sink in it! Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea. It is a strange sea. In most parts of the sea, there are a lot of
fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. No sunlight can reach the
depth of the sea. So it is completely dark. Strange fishes live there. Some are blind. Some have their own
lights. Some have great jaws(嘴巴).With their great jaws, they swallow fish larger than themselves.
The sea can be very cold. Deep sea divers know this well. At the top the water may be warm. Then as
the divers go down, the sea becomes colder and colder.
