About this audiobook
The ocean covers seventy-one percent of Earth, holds ninety-seven percent of its free water, and more than ninety-nine percent of the space where life can live. This book tells the story of the sea as one object: where its water came from, how plate tectonics builds and rebuilds its basins, and how its salt, heat, and layered darkness structure the largest habitat on the planet. It follows the exploration of the deep, from the Challenger expedition of the 1870s to submersibles, Argo floats, and the satellite map of the seafloor, and the great discoveries along the way: the ridges that proved the seafloor is young, the vent ecosystems that live without sunlight, the twilight-zone migrations that move more animals than any migration on land, and the ocean's role as the planet's heat bank and carbon store.
