About Oceans
Though not a past theme of the Geography Action! program, oceans are a critical component to the Earth's ecosystem, covering more than 70 percent of the planet's surface. Oceans help maintain a healthful environment for Earth by regulating the air temperature and by supplying the moisture for precipitation. This resource page has been created to aid educators interested in covering the oceans in their classrooms.
