What Will Happen If the Ocean Disappears?

Related image Earth is a planet that holds a lot of life in it, starting from human animals and plants. There are various parts that support life from the sun, air, land, and the ocean. The oceans on earth are one of the most vital parts of life, for two main reasons.

Ocean Function

Earth Temperature Controller

First, the oceans have the function of absorbing and distributing solar radiation, which helps regulate temperatures throughout the world. If the ocean disappears, the heat from the sun will roast the equator, but it hardly brings energy to the poles. Ocean water on the earth absorbs all solar energy, which produces currents that circulate warmth from the tropics to the north and south, and bring cold temperatures back to the equator. This cycle ensures that no place is too hot to live or survive. And bring warmth to cooler areas in various parts of the world. Because water has a high heat capacity, so it can absorb a lot of heat without a large temperature increase. If the ocean disappears, the land will absorb all the heat, so most places will be barren like deserts.

Water cycle

The second function is as a means of recycling water, or a water cycle that moves water from the ocean into clouds, returns to land through rain, and returns to the ocean. When the water heats up, they will evaporate and change into clouds in the sky. The cloud is actually a collection of water vapor from the sun's rays on the sea, rivers, lakes, and the gathering place for water. It's like a puff of smoke that comes out when we open the lid of the pot where the water has boiled. As the hot air rises to the top, finally he meets with cold air. When united with cold air, clouds will release heat. And that heat is what we feel before it rains. When all the heat is released, we will feel the air start to cool, and that's when the rain will fall. This is very beneficial for the earth, because it can make temperatures more evenly distributed on the entire surface of the earth.

When the Ocean Disappears

Counting the oceans dominates as 96.5% of the amount of water on earth, we also have lakes, icebergs, underground water, and rivers that are still flowing. With the rise in temperature and without a cycle of water cycles, rain will become a very rare phenomenon, which causes water to slowly disappear from the face of the earth. Water will not be the only resource that will decrease. 50% -70% of oxygen in our atmosphere is actually produced by marine plants. But with the extinction of marine plants, oxygen in our atmosphere will quickly decrease, while the amount of carbon dioxide that is not recycled is increasing. With the death of many plants on earth caused by lack of water and high temperatures. Within a few hundred years, oxygen in our atmosphere will not be enough for anyone to breathe. Forests throughout the world will start to burn, which causes huge amounts of carbon dioxide production. This can cause severe global warming, not even a single living creature can survive its temperature. The only place that can be expected as a place to live is Antarctica. But that hope will only last a little while, given the fewer food supplies, and high temperatures can melt Antarctica in just a matter of months. Even so, hope for life on earth still exists. During the formation of the earth, water was carried by ice comets and asteroids that hit the earth. This can be the only hope, even though it might take millions of years to happen again. Those are the things that will happen if the oceans really disappear from the earth, very horrible right? (FM)
