Oceans – Seas
Oceans – Seas

71 percent of Earth's surface is covered with
water. Earth is the only planet where water is in its liq-

uid form. Water gathering in giant holes forms the

oceans, which are essential for life to exist.

For example, they prevent sudden variations in

atmospheric temperature and thus help living things

to exist within a stable range of temperatures. They

also soften the climates. In addition, oceans shape
seashores through erosion and corrosion. On no other

planet does there exist such a system.

76 Moreover, oceans offer a variety of fish and

seafood to us. Eating this delicious seafood, swimming

in the sea and travelling by boat are all blessings that

Allah has given us.

Dear Children, Allah has created everything we

need perfectly. Of course, apart from these beautiful

things, there are also dangerous things such as the
volcanoes that sometimes erupt, although they usual-

ly remain silent. Now, we will turn our attention to

these volcanoes.
