17 de nov. de 2023 · Humans have gotten into the habit of separating the one big, continuous, mysterious body of water that covers the globe into sectors that we call oceans. Historically, there were just four oceans, but we now recognize five different oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, Indian and Southern Oceans.
- Arctic Ocean
- Atlantic Ocean
- Indian Ocean
- Pacific Ocean
- Southern Ocean
The smallest, coldest, and shallowest of the oceans of the world, the Arctic Oceanis located in the Northern Hemisphere’s Arctic north polar region. The Arctic Ocean has a roughly circular basin that is nearly enclosed by the continental landmasses of North America, Eurasia, Greenland, and several smaller islands. The area occupied by the ocean is ...
The Atlantic Ocean spans an area of 85,133,000 square km. The Atlantic Ocean is bounded by the landmasses of North and South America to the west and Asia and Africa to the east. The Arctic Ocean lies to its north, the Southern Ocean to its south, Pacific to the southwest and Indian Ocean to the southeast. The average depth of the Atlantic Ocean is ...
The Indian Ocean occupies 70,560,000 square km area on the Earth’s surface. The Eurasian landmass lies to the north of the Indian Ocean, Australiato the east, Africa to the west and the Southern Ocean and Antarctica to the south. 3,741 m is the average depth of the Indian Ocean, and its deepest point is Diamantina Deep. The depth in this region is ...
The largest region of the Global Ocean, the Pacific Ocean has the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Southern Ocean to the south, Australia, and Asia to the west and the Americas to the east. Spanning an area of 168,723,000 square km, the Pacific Ocean accounts for one-third of the total surface area of the planet. The deepest point in the Pacific Ocea...
Encircling Antarctica, south of the 60° S latitude, is the Southern Ocean or the Antarctic Ocean. It is the southernmost of the 5 regions of the Global Ocean and the fourth largest of the five. Though the Southern Ocean does not have a landmass bordering it to the north, it is treated as a separate oceanic division due to the difference in water pr...
The largest bodies of water are the oceans, but there is some debate over the actual number of distinct oceans. Just how many oceans does our planet have? Historically, many maps and textbooks have presented a four-ocean model: the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian, and the Arctic.

16 de jun. de 2024 · Historically, there are four named oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic. However, most countries - including the United States - now recognize the Southern (Antarctic) as the fifth ocean.
World map of the five-ocean model with approximate boundaries. The entire ocean, containing 97% of Earth's water, spans 70.8% of Earth's surface, [8] making it Earth's global ocean or world ocean.
28 de jun. de 2019 · The world's largest ocean current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, moves east and is 13,049 miles (21,000 km) in length. The Arctic Ocean is the world's smallest with an area of 5,427,000 square miles (14,056,000 sq km). It extends between Europe, Asia, and North America.
There is one ‘world ocean,’ but researchers often separate it into the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic oceans. Covering nearly 71 percent of Earth’s surface, the oceans have an average depth of 3,688 metres (12,100 feet).
