Viper Fish

The viper fish lives in the deep, cold ocean. It lures its prey with a light on its body called a photos pore. This also attracts potential mates. The viper fish lures the prey with its light organ and it devours it. The viperfish are rare to see but are not endangered. These vicious carnivores adapt to the cold, deep ocean by not having to eat food in plentiful portions. I found this marine animal to be very interesting because it looks awesome and has big teeth ready to chomp like a pirahna.

Oceanography

Oceanography is the study of the ocean and it is very important because it can help benefit the world through means of trade and natural causes. A highly important thing to study about the ocean is to predict hurricanes and other natural disasters. This could help warn people earlier and from the dangers and distractions of natural causes. This could protect people and cities from fatalities and casualties during storms such as hurricane sandy.

Bob Ballard and NASA

I learned that the ocean is very mysterious and that itis larger than people give it credit for. The ocean is most of the earth that we live on and we barely know a whole lot about it since we spend the majority of money on NASA! My point of view disagrees with Bob because I feel that the ocean is interesting and all but we need tostada space just in case the planet Earth dies or is destroyed by the apocalypse or something. I doubt people can live under water so I think we can study it in the meantime but it is not a priority to discover. However if all of the talk and rumors about the apocalypse was ended and there was no end, then I would favor studying the ocean because we live on this planet so we should know ALL about it! There has to be more animals and undiscovered places than we can imagine so it would be exciting to make more history!!!
