From a plane we can see the fields, cities, mountains or seas below. If we go into space, we see more and more of the earth.
The sea looks very beautiful when the sun is shining on it. But it can be very terrible when there is a strong wind.
The sea is very big. It nearly covers three quarters of the earth. The sea is also very deep in some places. There is one place and at that place the sea is about 11 kilometres deep. The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometres high. If we put that mountain into the sea at that place, there will be still 2 kilometres of water above it!
In most parts of the sea, there are many kinds of fishes and plants. Some live near top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are also a lot of small living things, and lots of fishes live by eating them.
The sea can be very cold. When people go down, the sea becomes colder and colder. Only some men can go down into the deep sea. But, in 1970, five women scientists lived in the deep sea for fourteen days.
