The world’s oceans—the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Arctic Ocean—cover nearly three-quarters of Earth’s surface.

The oceans are saline water bodies which cover 71% of the total area of earth. There are a total of 5 oceans and 20 seas which together constitute the saline water reserves of earth

The Pacific Ocean is Earth’s largest ocean.  All seven continents could fit over the Pacific Ocean, and there would still be room for another Asia! The Pacific extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the continent of Antarctica in the south.

The Pacific Ocean serves as a major trade route between countries that lies along its coast.  In fact, much of the world’s trade takes place between those countries.

The Indian Ocean is the third-largest ocean on Earth and most of it lies south of the equator.  The continents that border this ocean are Australia to the east, Asia, to the north, and Africa to the west.

Sailing routes around and across the Indian Ocean have long connected coastal areas in Africa, Asia, and Australia.  In 1498 Europeans began sailing around the tip of Africa to reach the Indian Ocean.

The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and northernmost of earth’s oceans.  Most of its waters are ice-covered year-round.  For this reason, it is perhaps the least-known body of water in the world.
