The world’s oceans have always been a place of wonder and mystery. Covering nearly three quarters of our planet, it’s impossible to know all their secrets. But with over 71% of our planet’s surface covered in water, we have an awful lot to thank our oceans for.

Whether you live in the middle of the desert or right on the ocean front, the ocean affects your life, daily. From the water we drink, to the air we breathe, to the electronics we use, the oceans are to thank as the majority of goods that we use daily are transported over the waterways across the planet.

It’s nothing short of captivating to read through scientific facts about this magical world. However, it is also somewhat humbling to realize just how little we do know about the oceans. It’s tantalizing to think about just how much more there is to discover. From the mesmerizing marine life to the waters themselves, it seems as though we will never know all the secrets of the sea. But here are a few of the most interesting that we do know.
