Altogether the ocean occupies 71 percent of the world surface, [4] averaging nearly 3.7 kilometres (2.3 mi) in depth. [27] By volume, the ocean provides about 90 percent of the living space on the planet. [4] The science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke has pointed out it would be more appropriate to refer to planet Earth as planet Ocean. [28] [29]
Pelagic zones. The ocean can be conceptualized as being divided into various zones, depending on depth, and presence or absence of sunlight.Nearly all life forms in the ocean depend on the photosynthetic activities of phytoplankton and other marine plants to convert carbon dioxide into organic carbon, which is the basic building block of organic matter.
