From a plane we can see the fields, cities, mountains or the sea. The sea looks very beautiful when the sun is shining on it. But it can be very terrible (糟糕的) when there is a strong wind.
The sea nearly covers three quarters of the Earth. The sea is also very deep in some places. It is said that the deepest place in the sea is about 11 kilometres. The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometres high. If that mountain is put into the sea, there will be still 2 kilometres of water above it!
In most parts of the sea, there are many kinds of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are also a lot of small living things, and lots of fish live by eating them.
The sea can be very cold. When people go down, the sea becomes colder and colder. Only some people can go down into the deep sea. But, in 1970, five women scientists (科学家) lived in the deep sea for fourteen days.
