THE FIVE BIG BLUES
THAT MAKE UP OUR
WORLD OCEAN
Alyssa DeLude
THE PACIFIC OCEAN
The largest ocean on
Earth - it covers
around 30% of the
Earth’s surface.
THE ATLANTIC OCEAN
The second largest
ocean - it covers over
15% of the Earth’s
surface.
Fun Fact: Oceans are
frequently used as a
means of transport with
various companies
shipping their products
across oceans from one
port to another.
THE INDIAN OCEAN
The third largest ocean
on Earth - it covers
around 13% of the
Earth’s surface.
Fun Fact: There are
many marine life forms
that are yet to be
discovered in oceans,
some scientists suggest
that there could
actually be millions of
marine life forms out
there.
THE SOUTHERN OCEAN
The fourth largest ocean on
Earth – it covers around 4%
of the Earth’s surface.
Fun Fact: 94 percent of life
on Earth is aquatic! That
makes us land-dwellers a
very small minority.
THE ARCTIC OCEAN
The smallest of the five
oceans - it covers around
2-3% of the Earth’s
surface.
Fun Fact: The surface
layer of the ocean absorbs
over half the heat
reaching the Earth from
the sun.
When put together, these five
oceans make up our World Ocean! I
hope this helped you to appreciate
our oceans and learn how much
they truly do for us!
