2. Five Oceans Pacific Atlantic Indian Southern Arctic

3. Antarctic Ocean Background: The Arctic Ocean is the smallest of the world's five oceans Location: body of water between Europe, Asia, and North America, mostly north of the Arctic Circle Coordinates: 90 00 N, 0 00 E Arctic Region Area: total: 14.056 million sq km. Climate: polar climate characterized by persistent cold and relatively narrow annual temperature ranges Natural Resources: petroleum, natural gas, fish, and seals.

4. Atlantic Ocean Background: The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest of the world's Location: body of water between Africa, Europe, the Southern Ocean, and the Western Hemisphere Coordinates: 0 00 N, 25 00 W Area: total: 76.762 million sq km Climate: tropical cyclones (hurricanes) Natural resources: oil and gas fields, fish, marine mammals (seals and whales), sand and gravel aggregates, placer deposits, polymetallic nodules, precious stones

5. Indian Ocean Background: the third largest of the world's five oceans Location: body of water between Africa, the Southern Ocean, Asia, and Australia Coordinates: 20 00 S, 80 00 E Area: total: 68.556 million sq km Climate: monsoon, tropical cyclones Natural resources: oil and gas fields, fish, shrimp, sand and gravel aggregates, placer deposits, polymetallic nodules

6. Pacific Ocean Background: is the largest of the world's five oceans Location: body of water between the Southern Ocean, Asia, Australia, and the Western Hemisphere Geographic Coordinates: 0 00 N, 160 00 W Area: total: 155.557 million sq km Area - comparative: about 15 times the size of the US; covers about 28% of the global surface; larger than the total land area of the world Climate: planetary air pressure systems and resultant wind patterns, trade winds, tropical cyclones (hurricanes), rainy season and dry season, tropical cyclones (typhoons) Natural resources: oil and gas fields, polymetallic nodules, sand and gravel aggregates, placer deposits, fish

7. Southern Ocean Background: is now the fourth largest of the world's five oceans Location: body of water between 60 degrees south latitude and Antarctica Coordinates: 65 00 S, 0 00 E Area: total: 20.327 million sq km Climate: cyclonic storms Natural resources: probable large and possible giant oil and gas fields on the continental margin, manganese nodules, possible placer deposits, sand and gravel, fresh water as icebergs; squid, whales, and seals - none exploited; krill, fishes

10. Identify Oceans

12. Terms: Climate with Oceans Pacific Ocean: Typhoon, trade winds, tropical cyclones, rainy and dry season Atlantic Ocean: Tropical cyclones / Hurricane Indian Ocean: Monsoon, tropical cyclones Southern Ocean: Cyclonic storms Arctic Ocean: Polar climate characterized by persistent cold and relatively narrow annual temperature ranges

13. Terms: Resources placer deposits manganese nodules polymetallic nodules Sand & gravel aggregates

14. Questions Which ocean is the newest member of world ocean family? – Southern Ocean/Antarctic Ocean – The IHO (International Hydrographic Organization) settle that debate through a year 2000 publication by declaring, naming, and demarcating the Southern Ocean.

15. Extremes The largest ocean The smallest ocean The newest ocean The ocean that counts for 28 percent of total global surface Water bodies count for 70 percent of total global surface Deepest Ocean Point Over 7 Miles Down! - Mariana Trench (video)! Mariana Trenchvideo
