The ocean is the main stabilizer of life on our planet. It is possible that the presence of large water supplies in a particular space body makes it gesneriads. On Earth the oceans evenly distributes the solar energy, thereby regulating and smoothing the climate of the planet. So what would happen if all the oceans of our planet suddenly disappeared?
The disappearance of the worldís oceans may lead to mass extinction of life on our planet
If the oceans disappear?
Bottomless and vast oceans have always attracted adventurers, turning them into sailors, divers and surfers, who do not see their life without the sea. However, it is known that due to global warming the water surface of our planet gradually heats up, forcing her to slowly but surely dry. Scientists believe that without the oceans our planet is in danger of becoming a huge, hot desert where rain is a rarity. The fact that the ocean performs several useful functions, which harmonize the overall climate of the planet: warm ocean currents, heated in the Equatorial zone, warm Northern regions, not allowing them to freeze; at the same time, cold water North and South poles back to the equator, cooling and stabilizing.

In addition, the oceans have a great influence on the formation of clouds and the water cycle on our planet. Their absence will entail a sharp reduction in rainfall, which will cause the extinction of vegetation and a strong reduction of the biological diversity of the planet.
Without water the Earth would be in not the most cozy place, although the total water resources amount to only 0.02% of the total mass of the Earth
Without oceans, the Earth can simply turn into a planet like Venus: the average daytime temperature on the planet would be about 70 degrees Celsius, what would the Earth’s surface unfit for human habitation. Immediately after the disappearance of vegetation, which would have resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of produced oxygen in the atmosphere, our planet would gradually become a less habitable.
Human activity is harmful for existing on the planet water
In order to be able to survive in such conditions, a person would need to move under the surface of the Earth, which is not so comfortable in itself.

Is it possible to prevent the disappearance of the oceans?
Our planet is a truly unique celestial body, the likes of which humanity has not yet found. However, the oceans are constantly exposed to negative human impact, which has a strong anthropogenic influence. In order to make a personal contribution to the preservation of the biological diversity of the planet, we should refuse from fish grown on farms and causing great harm to the existing ecosystem of the seas and oceans. In addition, we need to stop to drain harmful substances (such as solvents, pesticides and cleaning agents) into the Sewerage system, which often has access to open waters. Another useful step may be maximum rejection of plastic, which still remains the main source of potential danger for the existing of the oceans and their inhabitants.
