    Firstly, the elevation from quadrat 12 to 13 shows the zone shift from intertidal to above high tide, and from quadrat 13 onwards, the swamp she-oak is most dominant, which is even more evidence to show that it is in fact above high tide.

The soil moisture varies in the last 4 quadrats since it is no longer in the intertidal…

    This paragraph will talk about how the ocean can help us survive, for example by giving us resources. There are so many resources in the ocean that can help us. For example according to Trevor Day the author of a book called “The Arctic Ocean” “The Arctic region also contains some of the world's largest reserves of iron, copper, lead and the radioactive metal uranium.” This tells you that some of the world's most importance and most valuable resources are in the ocean, meaning that we should explore the oceans so we can get important resources. There is also resources that can save lives.

    In this essay I am going to write about the ocean and all the amazing things about the ocean that some people might not know. Growing up I was never interested in the ocean or things like that but as I am starting to grow the world and the ocean are starting to become much more fascinating to me. There are many amazing things about the ocean and what lives in it some things that are amazing to me are that Earth is the only known planet or moon to have large bodies of liquid water on its surface. Our planet lies in the zone that’s not too hot, not too cold and with enough atmospheric pressure to prevent liquid surface water from evaporating into space. Although scientists and explorers don't know of any other planets or moons with liquid water oceans, it's likely that they do exist and they just haven't found them. In our own solar system, there is growing evidence that the planet Mars may have liquid water not on the surface but underground. There is also strong evidence…
