They also allow easy local and international trade. ]]> 2021-05-20 06:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/jdhcenf5qpui6d50/wish/1542680341 Gao https://padlet.com/list4/jdhcenf5qpui6d50/wish/1542680601 - trade

  • air: ocean produces over 50%of the world’s oxygen
  • food: seafood and also resources and ingredients
  • climate regulation: covering 70% of the earths surface the ocean transports heat from the equator to the polls regulating our climate
  • area under sea bed rich in oil/minerals

Abiotic
  • transport: trade/shipping
  • economic benefits/employment: fishing, trading industries provide income and employment
  • recreation: water sports
  • tourism
  • ingredients from ocean found in medicines e.g. for cancer or heart disease

Oceans are used for trade, food, energy, recreation, habitation, control and strategic choke points to influence other countries. If you control the oceans near a country you can severely limit their access to food and other biotic and abiotic resources eg. oil and fish and all sorts of trade by ships.
