A: List the major ideas, concepts or key points-point by point:-Wetlands also have commercial andutilitarian functions.
- The planet is largely made up of rocks.
-71 percent of its surface is covered with ocean.
-The wet film coating a newly washed plum this water makes up a thin layer compared with the globe as a whole.
-More than 90 percent of the biosphere by volume: it covers 360 million square kilometers and runs, on average, a few kilometers deep.
-Marine animals display great diversity of body types than land animals do. Description requires more broad categories, or phyla. Of 33 animal phyla, 30 describe residents of the ocean. 15 exclusively. 16 phyla include animals on land or freshwater. Of the 16, one is exclusively terrestrial.
-Of the organisms that live in the ocean, however, only 250,000 species have been identified: total estimates run closer to 400,000 to 450,000.
-Life underwater has a unique hue as well.
-Most of the experts says that between 1 million and 10 million benthic species have yet to be described.
-Sea water is 800 times dense as air and is much more viscous.
-Bioluminescence can be found in 90 percent of mid-water species of fish and invertebrates. Deep sea fish have large eyes, so they can see by the faint light.
-These creatures are the living oil tankers of the sea; using their blubber as fuel, they undergo vast fluctuations in weights, sometimes losing 30% of their body mass during migration.
-Most near shore communities are the intertidal zone.
-Marine ecosystems are left out in discussions of saving biodiversity.
B:Summarize the AUTHOR's main point or idea - at LEAST 1-2 paragraphs:
The whole earth is surrounded by ocean. Ocean has many diverse organism that are called marine animals and many of this marine animals are either been discovered or haven't yet in the deep sea. The author is telling us that the ocean has mysterious things to learn but most of the people haven't really discovered yet since the ocean is really big, and most of them are hard to be found because of not right of equipment. Also he is telling us that we can learn a lot of things under the ocean.

The article
I knew that the ocean is really a big and hard to discover. The big of this mysterious sea the researchers only discover about 10% and still have more to come but it's really hard if most of them couldn't find the way to discover the whole sea. Most of the places underwater needed some type of a equipment to discover underneath. Since it's mysterious we might have some solution to solve some of our problem in the water or the environment.
