Sea

A sea is a large body of salt water that is surrounded in whole or in part by land. More broadly, "the sea" is the interconnected system of Earth's salty, oceanic waters—considered as one global ocean or as several principal oceanic divisions. The sea moderates Earth's climate and has important roles in the water cycle, carbon cycle, and nitrogen cycle. Although the sea has been travelled and explored since prehistory, the modern scientific study of the sea—oceanography—dates broadly to the British Challenger expedition of the 1870s. The sea is conventionally divided into up to five large oceanic sections—including the IHO's four named oceans (the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic) and the Southern Ocean; smaller, second-order sections, such as the Mediterranean, are known as seas.

Owing to the present state of continental drift, the Northern Hemisphere is now fairly equally divided between land and sea (a ratio of about 2:3) but the South is overwhelmingly oceanic (1:4.7).Salinity in the open ocean is generally in a narrow band around 3.5% by mass, although this can vary in more landlocked waters, near the mouths of large rivers, or at great depths. About 85% of the solids in the open sea are sodium chloride. Deep-sea currents are produced by differences in salinity and temperature. Surface currents are formed by the friction of waves produced by the wind and by tides, the changes in local sea level produced by the gravity of the Moon and Sun. The direction of all of these is governed by surface and submarine land masses and by the rotation of the Earth (the Coriolis effect).

    THE SEA

    by: Custard

    Giving life and taking life
    Right hand of mother nature.
    Bright as the sun, dark as the night.
    You will drown and none can help you.
    A loving mother - a merciless killer
    The sea shows you the last contrast.
    Find your dreams - meet your grave digger.
    Watch out! Will you live or rest?
    It's your best friend in life
    It's your worst enemy
    It will judge about your fate.
    It's a nice place, indeed,
    but one day you will find the answer
    why you hate - the sea.
    Don't trust the beautiful scene in the moonlight,
    never forget all the danger hidden in the sea
    It offers food, it's your employer,
    millions can't exist without it. We surf on it.
    It's so damned good. I'm sure there is no about it.
    But it's also an obedient slave of death.
    See the dying man on his last quest.
    Feel his cold and deadly breath
    No chance to get his life back.
    The lord of tides is dying now.
    Pollution wins the fight
    Sick mankind survives somehow
    But can we pay the price.
    We kill the source of life we need
    One way street until the end.
    Human beings have to bleed.
    This is my revenge.
