Oceans are of great importance in our world, where three quarters of it is covered with water. Well, what would happen if these huge bodies of water, which keep trade alive, host millions of creatures and ensure the continuity of the climate cycle, were made up of oil? Let’s explain.
of the oceans We learn at the beginning of our education life that it makes up almost three quarters of our world. Of course, they do not just occupy a place in this huge area they occupy in our world. A very large part of the world’s oxygen –about 80 percent– produced by algae in the oceans. The remaining 20 percent is produced by the plants we see around. This huge amount of oxygen produced under water provides a habitat for many living things.
In addition to providing oxygen, the oceans are also very important for trade. Because it would not be wrong if we say that the trade carried out on large cargo ships is almost the heart of the general trade in the world. So these oceans if it consisted of oil instead of water what would it be?
First off: Would the oceans burn right away?
liquid state of petroleum does not burn alone. It turns into a vapor and mixes with the air, thus becoming a flammable gas. When it burns, it carbon monoxide and nitric oxide It also releases toxic gases. So if our oceans were made up of oil, it would be the lowest temperature at which oil vapor would ignite to burn, i.e. to flash point should have reached. So what would be the odds of that happening?
What is the flash point of gasoline?
Petrol is a substance with a very low flash point. To produce steam -40 degrees (Celsius) temperature is sufficient. Earth’s average temperature 15 or 16 degrees if we think that constantly evaporating We can foresee that we will be surrounded by oceans.
Since they have become flammable covered in huge flames The oceans are standing before our eyes. Of course, the burning part is just their surface. Inside, it’s already too late.
There is no worry that the price of fish has increased, because there is no more fish: Everything from the fish that came to our table to the algae that produces oxygen, went away when the ocean turned to oil.
It’s like asthma even if you don’t have a problem You will experience breathing difficulties. We have bad news for seafood lovers: All sea life. swept from the world! No more dishes like fish, octopus, lobster. The underwater life cycle has been completely erased.
So what do we breathe if our greatest source of oxygen is no longer available?
The blazing ocean surface is choking the whole world with toxic gas: In this case, shortness of breath is not our only problem.
In this situation where our oxygen is almost non-existent, we have toxic chemicals exists. When we breathe them with shortness of breath serious amount of tissue loss it goes so effortlessly. Especially if you live on the coast, you have already passed away due to inhaling a large amount of toxic gas.
Because of this poisoning hallucinating, having an attack such cases have also increased worldwide. Well, normally trade was done by large cargo ships. What happened to trade now that our oceans are on fire?
We’ve already said goodbye to maritime trade, because the ships we’re keeping in the water are now on the seafloor (No, not because they’re burning)
Liquids have a certain density. At this point, water is more than oil. busier Since it is a substance, our ships, which are produced according to the density of water, are above oil. couldn’t stop. Now they lie unusable on the ocean floor.
Because the ships can’t go anywhere trade has come to a standstill. For this reason, the price of even the daily necessities you want to buy has almost skyrocketed. You can add clothes to this, as well as technological devices. In fact, market products that we are currently complaining about will be sold at much higher prices. certainly of oil the price will hit bottom, but it doesn’t matter much under these conditions.
Drinking water became even more valuable:
Any water source connected to the ocean is now considered polluted. This will both harm natural life and make it difficult for us to find drinking water. As there is no life without water Drinking water production will need to be provided in certain specific locations.
At this point into the rain you can trust. But now because of the poisonous gases enveloping the planet with acid rain We are one by one. This will cause the plants to die before they have time to recover. As if the scarcity of drinking water was not enough, difficulty finding food we will shoot. Unless something extraordinary happens, the situation will only get worse. We will see climate change in its darkest side.
Now let’s exit our simulation:
As you can see, the oceans are very important for the continuation of life on our planet. valuable. These giant bodies of water, which sustain maritime trade and underwater life, are made of oil when you wake up tomorrow. won’t happen. But before it’s too late and while it is in this state, we recommend you to appreciate it and not to pollute them.

Of course, this doesn’t just apply to the oceans. Pollution of any place, whether it is the sea, the forest or the middle of the city, causes damage to the ecosystem of that place.
