Five Oceans of the Earth

The Earth’s five oceans—the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic—cover about 71% of the planet’s surface and play a crucial role in global geography, climate, and human activity. Each ocean has distinct characteristics, including size, salinity, depth, and commercial importance. This paper examines the topographical positions, unique features, and economic significance of these oceans, highlighting how their formation and ongoing processes influence climate, ecosystems, and global trade, emphasizing the importance of continued scientific research and exploration.
