Oceans for a map, zones for a cutaway
The row under the sheet starts with Under / the Sea and, for ocean bubble letters, Ocean. A world map takes the five names: Atlantic / Ocean, Pacific / Ocean, Indian / Ocean, Arctic / Ocean, Southern / Ocean. A cutaway of the water takes Ocean / Zones and, from the top, Sunlight / Zone, Twilight / Zone, Midnight / Zone and Abyss: the sunlight zone is the top 200 meters, twilight ends at 1,000 and the abyss starts at 4,000.
Labels for a sea display
Coral / Reef, Kelp / Forest, Tide / Pool, Deep / Sea, Ocean / Floor and Hydrothermal / Vents name places; Seaweed, Plankton, Sea Stars and Sea Life name what lives there. Scuba began as an acronym, self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, and Submarine joins the Latin for under and sea. Bubbles suits a swim party.
- Under / the Sea prints over one and a half times as tall as Underwater in all three fonts.
- The Ice look fades each letter from white at the top to deep blue at the bottom, like water darkening with depth.
Questions and answers
How do you draw underwater bubble letters?
Pencil the word in fat rounded letters. Then add what says water: a wavy line above the word for the surface and small circles of air rising from the tops of a few letters. Color the letters blue, lightest at the top.
Is underwater one word or two?
One word before a noun: an underwater cave. After a verb the dictionary also allows two: the cave is under water. A poster heading takes the single word.
How many oceans are there?
One global ocean with five named parts: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Southern. The Southern Ocean is the newest name, recognized by the United States and most other countries.
