The ocean covers 71 percent of the earth’s surface, and about 97 percent of all water on earth is from the ocean. Ocean waves are disturbances in the ocean that move energy from one place to another.

As the wind gains strength, the oceans surface gradually changes from smooth to rough (a common term for the roughness developing in the water is “cat paws”). First ripples will form along

The Ocean Sail This picture was taken by myself in Galveston, Texas. I am not a big fan of taking pictures, but this one was different. It made me feel like there are some sides to me that have not been discovered yet. I am learning new things about myself and there’re still things I will experience for the first time in my life.
