Stanton and Anthony created the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), which directed its efforts toward changing federal law and opposed the 15th Amendment because it excluded women.
1 Since areas of continental do not shrink and some oceans open, some area must be lost because the Earth isn't changing size overall. Again, the accommodation is in the ocean - as much as one ocean grows in area, another must be losing area.  Oceanic lithosphere is lost by subduction at some plate margins.
Oceans cover 71% of the Earth's surface, and contain 97 percent of the planet's water. The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean covering an area of 64,186,000 square miles and the Mediterranean Sea is the largest sea with an area of 1,144,800 square miles.In fact even the worldâs smallest ocean Arctic Ocean (5,427,000 square miles) is larger than the Mediterranean.ny water in a sea, ocean or lake that is not close to the bottom or near to the shore can be said to be in the pelagic zone. Areas in the pelagic zone are distinguished by their depth and the ecology of the zone.
