We Do this both directly and indirectly. We eat fish that is harvested from the ocean. We also process harvested fish for livestock feed. . We get Valuable Minerals from the Ocean. For much of human history, knowledge of the ocean and its currents was not recorded for many reasons - most sailors could not write and information was passed orally.. European nations began systematic ocean explorations but kept information secret between the 15. Submersibles, satellites, and other technology allow scientists to study the structure and composition of the ocean floor.. a. system that uses transmitted and reflected sound waves to measure distances to the ocean floor; SONAR. The Vast World . Ocean. Area of Continents and Oceans. Seventy one percent (71%) of the globe is covered with oceans or seas.. Continents and islands compose the remaining twenty nine percent (29 %)..
