What are the sea turtles?

sea turtles are excessive in Chelonioidea. Sometimes they are also referred to as "sea turtles", refer to the fact that they have adapted to live primarily in the marine environment. All seven living turtle species are at risk and efforts to protect around the world try to prevent the extinction of sea turtles. The loss of sea turtles would not be just a strike for biodiversity: sea turtles are also important for the health of the world's oceans. Their front legs have adapted to a form similar to fins that allow them to swim quickly and efficiently and their bodies are slightly flattened to reduce water resistance. Some sea turtles can also use their fins for climbing. Depending on the lion of the turtle activity and stress, it may have to emerge earlier for air. Sea turtles breathe explosive and fill the lungs with sufficient air to supply them during dives. They also adapted to reduce the risk of developing decompression disease, also known as "The Bends", which is a common problem forHuman divers who dive too quickly or get off.

sea turtles feed on other marine life and seaweed, a flowering plant that is widespread in the world oceans. They can be found in each ocean except the arctic coming to the soil to lay eggs as soon as they reach the age of 30. Sea turtles are particularly vulnerable during the laying of eggs, because many of them are slow and steadfastly and eggs can be broken by disgusting pedestrians or considered tasty snacks by numerous predators. As soon as the eggs hatch, the young get into the ocean and start their water lives.

Seven types of sea turtle are: Loggerheads, green turtles, flatbacks, Hawksbills, Leatherbacks, Olive Ridleys and Kemp's Ridleys. The smallest sea turtles reach about 30 inches (76 centimeters), while the largest can exceed six feet (two meters). Sea turtles live up to 80 years and once dosThey are difficult to kill for predators because of their hard shells. However, they are vulnerable to trawling and many other human activities, along with changes in the marine environment, such as coral bleaching and nutrient pollution.

sea turtles help maintain the sea environment by feeding the seaweed and ensure that this aquatic plant remains cropped and does not overcome the ocean bottom. They also contribute to health on the beach by aeration of sand and by providing nutrients for plants on the beach with their unpredictable eggs.
