names of the major oceans?

Answer 1

The interconnected expanses of salt water across the globe is called the World Ocean. It covers 71% of the Earth's surface, and the area of the World Ocean is 361 million square kilometers (around 139 million square miles).

The World Ocean is divided into the following bodies by continents and archipelagos, from largest to smallest: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean.

Geologically, an ocean is an area of oceanic crust covered by water. Oceanic crust is the thin layer of solidified volcanic basalt that covers the Earth's mantle where there are no continents.

From this point of view, there are three "oceans" today: the World Ocean, and the Black and Caspian Seas that were formed by the collision of Cimmeria with Laurasia. The Mediterranean Sea is very nearly its own "ocean", being connected to the World Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar, and indeed several times over the last few million years movement of the African Continent has closed the strait off entirely, making the Mediterranean a fourth "ocean".
