A little about the Ocean

As you know, an ocean is a major body of saline water, and a principal component of the hydrosphere. Aproximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean, a continous body of water that is customarily divided into several principal oceans and smaller seas.

Though generally described as several separate oceans, these water comprise one global, interconnected body of salt water sometimes referred as the World Ocean or global ocean. This concept of a continous body of water with relatively free intercharge among its parts s of fundamental importance to oceanography.

The major oceanic divisions are defined in part by the continents, various archipielagos, and other criteria. These divisions are:

-Pacfic Ocean: separates Asia and Australia from the Americas

-Atlantic Ocean: separates Americas from Eurasia and Africa

-Indian Ocean: washes upon southern Asia and separates Africa and Australia

-Southern Ocean: unlike the other oceans, has no landmass separating it from other oceans and is therefore sometimes subsumed as the southern portions of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, which encircles Antartica and covers much of the Antartic.

-Artic Ocean: sometimes considered a sea of the Antlantic, which covers much of the Artic and washes upon northern North America and Eurosia.

Is amazing the diferent kinds of oceans. Specially i love the bioluminescence.
