Ocean Adventures: Exploring Earth's Watery Wonders
Hey there, ocean explorers! Are you ready to dive into the amazing world of Earth's oceans and seas? Let's go on an adventure to discover how water, air, and land work together to create the incredible underwater world we know and love!
First, let's get to know our oceans. These are continuous bodies of salt water held in enormous basins on Earth's surface. Did you know that Earth has five main oceans? They are:
The Pacific Ocean - the biggest and deepest of them all!
The Atlantic Ocean - stretching between the Americas, Europe, and Africa
The Indian Ocean - surrounding the shores of India and many other countries
The Southern Ocean - circling around Antarctica
The Arctic Ocean - the smallest and coldest, located at the top of the world
Which one do we live closest to?
These vast bodies of water cover about 70% of Earth's surface. That's a lot of water! Seas are smaller than oceans and are usually partly surrounded by land. Some famous seas include the Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean Sea, and the South China Sea.
