Ocean

New Look! Relaunched with new jackets and 8 pages of new text!Here is an exciting and informative guide to the natural history, geology, and exploration of the world`s vast oceans. Superb, color photographs of incredible submersibles, realistic models of the sea floor, and the remarkable animals and plants that make up marine life offer a unique eyewitness view of the ocean`s hidden wealth. See a sea spider crawling on the ocean floor, ocean research vessels in operation, a cuttlefish disappear in a squirt of ink, inside a decompression chamber, and an octopus escaping a predator by jet propulsion. Learn how a monitoring buoy measure temperature, about the world`s major currents, why a hermit crab finds a second home, and how the earth`s plates form. Discover where the deepest dive was made, the length of a giant tube worm, what fish eat at the bottom of the ocean, how a coral reef is formed, how dead man`s fingers got their name, and much, much more.
