     Today in science lab, room 14 learned about the continental ocean shelfs. The students learned how different coasts around the world have different shelf distances. This can be helpful because if people go on vacation, they will know how far to go out into the ocean before it drops off. Snorkeling is an example of this. Also, oil drills can not drill for oil on certain ocean shelfs because they are to close to the coast and are visible to tourists. This helps students learn about the coastal shelfs and how they are different around the world.
