Answer:
Explanation:
A lot of fish like it. And crabs and whales and plankton. It also absorbs a LOT of CO2, which reacts with dissolved calcium to form reefs and shells. It also has a massive amount of surface area that fresh water evaporates from and then falls as rain (that’s important). Also, the currents move heat to northern latitudes (see Gulf Stream) which keeps Britain toasty instead of icy. The extra salt increases the relative buoyancy, which lowers shipping costs somewhat. Of course being flat also lowers shipping costs. It’s also cheap so it can be used for cooling water if your facility is nearby. And when excessive heat builds up, hurricanes are the ultimate swamp cooler, since evaporating trillions of tons of water lowers the temperature significantly.
