Title : The Pacific Ocean
Screenshoot of the cover

This story describes about the Pacific Ocean. Pacific means
peace. Pacific Ocean is the largest, covering about 155 million square miles.
It is about 20 times the size of Australia and makes up 28 percent of the
world's surface. In other words, this is greater than all the countries in the
world that join together.
This area was first inhabited by Melanesians, Polynesians
and Micronesians who sailed across the Pacific. three hundred years later,
large numbers of Europeans settled in the larger Pacific countries such as New
Zealand and Australia.
The Pacific is a diverse region. There are more than
5,000 islands and some of them are very small. For example, the island nation
of Niue is 260 square miles and has a population of 2,000 people. By contrast,
Australia with an area of nearly three million square miles and a population
of 20 million is the largest Pacific country.
Pacific is rich in natural resources such as minerals,
gas and oil. Other industries include fisheries and tourism. Pacific is also
considered a great place to conduct a nuclear test.
From this story I gained new knowledge about the Pacific
Ocean.
