The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive.Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years.Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy.For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship.Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.
Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea.It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve.By 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food,
minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largely solved.
