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 Earths surface.
THE ATLANTIC OCEAN The second largest ocean - it covers over 15% of the Earths 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 Earths 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 Earths 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 Earths 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!
