2 OCEAN ◦This is the widest and largest body of water in the world. Huge sea vessels can travel here.

3 WATER FORMS There are five major oceans in the world. PACIFIC OCEAN ATLANTIC OCEAN SOUTHERN OCEAN INDIAN OCEAN ARCTIC OCEAN

4 WATER FORMS The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth's oceanic divisions. The Pacific separates Asia and Australia from the Americas. EarthoceanicAsiaAustralia Americas

5 WATER FORMS The Atlantic Ocean is the world's second largest ocean, behind the Pacific Ocean. It covers approximately 20 percent of the Earth's surface and about 29 percent of itswater surface area. oceanPacific OceanEarth's surfacewater

7 The Southern Ocean (also known as the Great Southern Ocean, Antarctic Ocean, South Polar Ocean and Austral Ocean) comprises the southernmost waters of the World OceanWorld Ocean

8 WATER FORMS The Indian Ocean is the third largest of the world's oceanic divisions, covering approximately 20% of the water on the Earth's surface. [1] It is bounded by Asia— including India, after which the ocean is namedoceanicwater Earth [1]AsiaIndia

9 WATER FORMS The Arctic Ocean, located in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Arctic north polar region, is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five major oceanic divisions.Northern HemisphereArcticnorth polaroceanic

11 SEA The sea is salty. A lot of aquatic resources live in the sea. The sea moderates the Earth's climate and has important roles in the water cycle, carbon cycle, and nitrogen cycle. Earth's climatewater cyclecarbon cyclenitrogen cycle

12 Water forms 1) Mediterranean Sea Area: 1,144,800 square miles (2,965,800 sq km) Average Depth: 4,688 feet (1,429 m) Ocean: Atlantic Ocean 2) Caribbean Sea Area: 1,049,500 square miles (2,718,200 sq km) Average Depth: 8,685 feet (2,647 m) Ocean: Atlantic Ocean 3) South China Sea Area: 895,400 square miles (2,319,000 sq km) Average Depth: 5,419 feet (1,652 m)

13 WATER FORMS LAKE A lake is a body of water surrounded by land. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean. Natural lakes are generally found in mountainous areas

15 WATER FORMS CHANNEL A channel is a wide bode of water found between island. In physical geography, a channel is a type of landform consisting of the outline of a path of relatively shallow and narrow body of fluid, most commonly the confine of a river, river delta or strait.physical geographylandformriver deltastrait

17 WATER FALLS A waterfall is a place where water flows over a vertical drop in the course of a stream or river

18 BAY A bay is a large body of water connected to an ocean or sea, formed by an inlet of water due to the surrounding land blocking some waves and often reducing winds.waveswinds

19 GULF This is part of the ocean, and can be found at the opening of the sea. This can be used as a port for sea vessels.

20 RIVER A river is a natural watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, a lake, a sea, or another river. In some rare cases a river could flow into the ground and dry up completely at the end of its course, without reaching another body of water.watercoursefreshwateroceanlakeseawater
