How Many Oceans Are there?

Our Global Ocean…
- covers 71% of the Earth's surface.
- contains 97% of the Earth's water.
- has an average depth of 12,430 feet.
- supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems.
- is a major influence on weather and climate, making earth habitable.
- has had less than 10% explored by humans.

What is a glider?
• Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)
• Propels itself without a propeller
• Moves slowly through the water collecting data as it goes
![Page 20: A Robot's View of Our Ocean Planet](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051404/584df45a1a28ab85739224a8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Buoyancy pump in the
glider pulls in 0.5 L of water
Glider begins to
dive downward
Push pump out glider inflects
and begins to climb to the surface
When surfacing to
connect glider inflates
air bladder
