Reread lines 41-56. What is Cousteau’s two main reasons for his claim that we should explore the oceans?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Critical medical advances and sustainable  forms of energy.

Explanation:

  • In the commentary "Why Exploring  the Ocean Is  Mankind’s Next Giant Leap", the narrator Philippe Cousteau says that since earth's oceans have been explored to only about 10 %, there is a great potential of finding new discoveries and resources there.
  • He claims that we should explore the oceans to yield discoveries in critical medical advances and sustainable forms of energy. He put these claims based on the evidence of finding AZT, a treatment  for HIV which is derived from a Caribbean reef sponge and the abundant availability of OTEC (ocean  thermal energy conservation) and wave energy.
