Why explore the oceans?

 Scientist explore the ocean for many different reasons. Throughout history people started to realize how much of an impact that the ocean has on everyone's daily life. One way that the ocean has a big impact is the trade routes. We use the ocean to trade goods all over the world. This gave people to have a chance to use other country's natural resources that they did not have already. Another thing is that they would have never found America. America was a place no Europeans or anything knew about. They found this land by exploring and that's what makes them so important.
     Although finding America was important to our history the explorers also had many important inventions that still help us today. A long time ago the Chinese invented the compass. The compass helped the explorers navigate all over he ocean. This was important to them because getting lost in their type of boat was extremely dangerous. They all created easier ways to explore around the ocean and trade their goods. The explorers all had their big affect on our society today, without them there may not even be an America.
