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 Slide Menu

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

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 Slide Menu

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 Slide Menu

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

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 Slide Menu

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

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

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 28-50 degrees Slide Menu

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 Slide Menu
