The ocean moderates the Earth's climate. Most solar radiation occurs at the Equator, whereas the poles receive little radiation. The ocean<span> transport warm water from the Equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the Equator. The oceans provide a habitat for much of the marine life exploited by humans, such as harvested fish. The oceans act as a massive carbon sink, as phytoplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

Magnification occurs because the biomass at any given trophic level is produced from a much larger biomass ingested from the level below and therefore, top-level carnivores tend to be the organisms most severely affected by toxic compounds.
