    The document is about the ocean. It describes the ocean as a large body of saltwater that covers over 70% of the Earth's surface. It is divided into 5 sections: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic Oceans. The ocean helps regulate the climate by transporting heat around the planet through ocean currents. It carries heat energy from the equator towards the poles. Without this circulation, the Earth would have extreme temperatures. The ocean contains a vast diversity of life, including millions of species that can only be seen with a microscope. Important ocean inhabitants include phytoplankton, which produce half the world's oxygen through photosynthesis, and fish like tuna and sharks. Various ocean habitats are described
