4. What is the ocean?
The oceans cover more than 2/3 of the Earth’s surface
Contain almost all of the living space on the planet
Living space- both on and miles below the surface

5. Oceans of the World Pacific Atlantic Indian Southern Arctic
All these oceans are part of one enormous water system that flows all over the globe
Slide Menu

6. What is the ocean? Part 2
The oceans cover the largest mountain range, the highest waterfall, and the deepest canyon in the world which are not seen by humans
The oceans control the world’s climate, weather systems, and air temperatures
Climate- prevailing weather conditions of a region throughout the year

7. Ocean vs. Sea Seas- parts of oceans that are mostly surrounded by land
Mediterranean and Caribbean Sea connect to the Atlantic Ocean
Arabian Sea connects to the Indian Ocean
Some seas are connected to the oceans only through other seas
The Black Sea is almost completely landlocked, connects to the Atlantic Ocean through the Adriatic Sea and Mediterranean Sea
landlocked- completely surrounded by land

8. Blue Planet
Oceans contain 97% of all the water on Earth, which is 1.4 billion trillion tons of water
Oceans cover 80% of the Southern Hemisphere and about 40% of the Northern Hemisphere
Slide Menu

9. Pacific Ocean The largest and deepest ocean in the world
The Pacific Ocean alone contains half of all the world’s water
Reaches from the far Northern Hemisphere to the far Southern Hemisphere
All the continents and almost all of the other
oceans could fit into it
Underneath is where the Earth is most active
Continental plates grind against each other
causing major earthquakes and volcanoes
Home to one of the world’s most amazing natural
wonders: Great Barrier Reef

10. Atlantic Ocean
Second-largest ocean in the world, about half the size of the Pacific
Shaped like an “S” and separates Europe and Africa from North and South America
Home to the world’s longest mountain range: Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Most diverse ocean plants and animals in the world
World’s largest fisheries
Youngest and most studied ocean
Scientists discovered largest waterfall underneath the surface
Slide Menu

11. Indian Ocean
Located mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, between Africa, southern Asia, Australia, and Antarctica
Third largest ocean and holds 20% of the world’s ocean waters
Largest amount of river sediment
The currents change direction with the season
In the winter, monsoon winds push currents toward Africa
Summer winds push currents toward Asia
Slide Menu

12. Southern Ocean Surrounds the continent of Antarctica
Wasn’t an “official” ocean until 2000
Was called the Antarctic Ocean and considered a polar region of the other 3 major oceans
Winds that blow around Antarctica are so strong that the surface currents of Southern Ocean qualify it as its own ocean
Twice the size of the United States
Coldest ocean on the planet
Temperatures ranging degrees
Slide Menu

13. Arctic Ocean Smallest and shallowest ocean in the world
Completely landlocked
Surrounded by North America, Europe, and northern Asia
Full of ice and in winter is almost entirely frozen
Least studied ocean because it is hard for ships to get through the ice
