The document discusses the five main oceans of the world: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern Oceans. It provides key details about each ocean, including their sizes and locations. The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean, covering one third of the Earth's surface. The Atlantic Ocean separates Europe and Africa from North and South America and influences the climate of eastern North America and Western Europe via the Gulf Stream. The Indian Ocean lies between Asia, Africa and Australia and is the warmest ocean. The Arctic Ocean surrounds the North Pole and is frozen for much of the year. The Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica.

2. WHAT IS AN OCEAN ??

3. LET’S DIVE IN ….

5. • AN OCEAN IS A HUGE BODY OF SALT WATER.
• OCEANS COVER NEARLY 71 PERCENT OF EARTH’S SURFACE.
• THEY CONTAIN ALMOST 98 PERCENT OF ALL THE WATER ON EARTH.
• OVER 70 PER CENT OF OUR PLANET’S OXYGEN IS PRODUCED BY THE MARINE
PLANTS IN OCEANS.

7. THERE IS ONE WORLD OCEAN, BUT IT IS DIVIDED INTO FIVE MAIN
AREAS:
THE PACIFIC,
THE ATLANTIC,
THE INDIAN,
THE ARCTIC, AND THE SOUTHERN, OR ANTARCTIC.
TOGETHER, THEY CAN BE SEEN AS ONE WORLD OCEAN BECAUSE
THEY HAVE NO REAL BORDERS, AND WATER FLOWS FREELY
BETWEEN THEM. SMALLER PARTS OF THESE OCEANS ARE CALLED
SEAS, GULFS, AND BAYS.

8. OCEANS ARE ARRANGED ACCORDING TO THE
SIZE
• 1. THE PACIFIC OCEAN,
• 2. THE ATLANTIC OCEAN,
• 3. THE INDIAN OCEAN,
• 4. THE ARCTIC OCEAN, AND
• 5. THE SOUTHERN OCEAN.
Remember: P.A.I.A.S, then you also get the order in
regards to size of the oceans right - from biggest
to smallest :-)

9. PACIFIC OCEAN
THE PACIFIC OCEAN IS THE LARGEST OF THE OCEANS COVERING
AROUND ONE THIRD OF THE EARTH'S SURFACE.
IT SEPARATES ASIA AND AUSTRALIA FROM NORTH
AND SOUTH AMERICA.
THE PACIFIC OCEAN MEANS THE "PEACEFUL SEA" IN PORTUGUESE.
IT'S THE DEEPEST PLACE IN THE WORLD AT 35,797 FEET UNDER
THE OCEAN.

10. ATLANTIC OCEAN
The Atlantic Ocean is the world's second
largest ocean. It separates Europe and
Africa from North and South America.
The Gulf Stream is a powerful warm current
that flows in the Atlantic from the tip of
Florida, up the coast of the United States,
and then over to Europe. The Gulf Stream
has a large impact on the climate of the
eastern US and Western Europe.

11. INDIAN OCEAN
The Indian Ocean is the third largest
ocean in the world. It lies south of
Asia, and India, and separates East
Africa from Australia. It is the warmest
ocean in the world

12. ARCTIC OCEAN
The Arctic Ocean is in the northern
part of the Earth, primarily around the
North Pole. It is the smallest and
shallowest of the world's oceans. A lot
of fresh water enters the Arctic from
melting ice. For a good part of the
year much of the Arctic is covered in
ice.

13. SOUTHERN OCEAN
The Southern Ocean is the fourth
largest, or second smallest of the
oceans. It sits at the South Pole and
the southern part of the Earth.
