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...
Ocean Worlds. Water in the Solar System and Beyond. The story of oceans is the story of life. Oceans define our home planet, covering the majority of Earth’s surface and driving the water cycle that dominates our land and atmosphere.
As the world's ocean is the principal component of Earth's hydrosphere, it is integral to life on Earth, forms part of the carbon cycle and water cycle, and – as a huge heat reservoir – influences climate and weather patterns.
The oceans contain a rich array of plant and animal life. About two-thirds of the world's population live within 60 kilometres of the coast, and almost half of the world's cities with more than one million people are sited in and around the tide-washed river mouths known as estuaries.
