Indian Ocean

The Indian Ocean is the third largest of the world's five oceans after the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. The Indian Ocean covers 68,536,000 square kilometers which equals about a 20% of the world's ocean surface. The Indian Ocean touches Asia, Africa, Australia and Antarctica. The Indian Ocean has a unique climate pattern based on seasonal exchange of air masses between land and sea. This pattern is called the monsoon which came from the Arabic word mawsim. During winter, the warmer air masses over the ocean pull in dry air masses from Asia, and the wind blows from the northeast. The tropical monsoon climate, combined with natural links across land and sea, made the Indian Ocean a place rich in plants and animals unique to this part of the world.

Atlantic Ocean

Atlantic Ocean is the second largest Ocean in the world after Pacific Ocean. It is located between the continents of North and South America, Europe, Africa and Antarctica. The area of Atlantic Ocean is about 106.4 million square kilometers and it covers approximately one-fifth of the Earth's surface and about one-quarter of its water surface area. It has an average depth of 3,926 m. The deepest place in Atlantic Ocean is the Puerto Rico Trench which is 8,381 m. It says that Atlantic Ocean is the youngest oceans and probably did not exist 100 million years ago. Why it say like that, we will discuss it in the other post. The farthest distance across the Atlantic occurs between the United States and North Africa at 4,830 km. The shortest distance is between Senegal and Brazil at 2,575 km. In the Northern Atlantic currents flow in a clockwise direction, while in the Southern Atlantic currents flow in a counterclockwise direction.

Pacific Ocean

Pacific Ocean is the world's largest ocean among other 5 oceans. Its area is 155.557 million sq km which mean the area was greater than all of the world's dry land when it’s put together and its look like about 15 times the size of the US and also its covers one third of the earth's surface. The average depth of the Pacific is just over 4,000m and it have the deepest ocean trenches in the world which is Marianas Trench. If we see from the space, the Pacific Ocean is in triangular shape, narrow in the Arctic north and broad in the Arctic south. In the west are Asia and Australia, meanwhile in the east is Americas. The Pacific Ocean has thousands of islands. In the west, there are large islands such as Japan, Taiwan, Borneo and New Guinea. Further away to the east are isolated islands such as Pitcairn, Easter Island and the Galapagos.

where "OCEAN" got its name.

The word of ocean was come from Greek, “Okeanos” which means world-ocean because the ancient Romans and Greeks think the ocean as an enormous river that encircling the world. In Greek mythology, this world-ocean was personified as a Titan, a son of Uranus and Gaia. In Hellenistic and Roman mosaics, this Titan was often depicted as having the upper body of a muscular man with a long beard and horns. Some scientists believe that Oceanus was represented as salt water in Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, which is the two ocean that was known by greek’s people ancient Greeks.

OCEAN...

Did you really know what is ocean? In this blog, we will explore deep down what is ocean and what special it is.Ocean is salty water that separates a lot of land in this earth. Approximately about 71% of earth surface was covered by ocean and these oceans was divided by several principal ocean and seas that have its own personal criteria and more than half of this area is over 3,000 meters deep.

These divisions are:

• Pacific Ocean

• Atlantic Ocean
• Indian Ocean
  

• Southern Ocean
• Arctic Ocean
