    What Is an Ocean?
    An ocean is a very large area of salt water. Most of the Earth is covered
    in ocean.

    There are five oceans in the world:


    •Pacific Ocean
    •Atlantic Ocean
    •Indian Ocean
    •Southern Ocean
    •Arctic Ocean
    Pacific Ocean
    The Pacific Ocean is the biggest ocean in
    the world.

    It reaches from North and South


    America to Asia and Australia.

    The Pacific Ocean is surrounded by a


    line of volcanoes known as the Ring of Fire.

    It is also home to the Great Barrier Reef,


    which is the largest coral reef in the world.

    Challenger Deep, the deepest point on Earth, is in the Pacific Ocean.

    Did You Know…?


    The word ‘Pacific’ means peaceful.
    Atlantic Ocean
    The Atlantic Ocean is the second biggest
    ocean in the world.

    It reaches from North and South


    America to Europe and Africa.

    The Atlantic Ocean is huge, but only


    half the size of the Pacific Ocean.

    The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the longest


    mountain range in the world, is
    underwater in the Atlantic Ocean.

    Did You Know…?


    The first person to sail across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to America was
    Leif Eriksson, a Viking, in the year 1000.
    Indian Ocean
    The Indian Ocean is the third biggest ocean in the world.
    It is named after the country of India.

    The Indian Ocean is home to many


    endangered sea creatures, including
    turtles, seals and dugongs (also
    known as sea cows).
    Southern Ocean
    The Southern Ocean is the second smallest ocean in the world.

    It is also known as the Antarctic


    Ocean as it surrounds Antarctica.

    It is the coldest and wildest


    ocean in the world.

    The Southern Ocean is home to


    emperor penguins, blue whales,
    elephant seals, giant squid and
    the wandering albatross.
    Arctic Ocean
    The Arctic Ocean is the smallest ocean in
    the world.

    It surrounds the Arctic.

    Often, the Arctic Ocean is completely


    covered in ice.

    Polar bears live on the ice that covers


    the ocean and can swim in the water.

    Did You Know…?


    Because of climate change, the amount of ice covering the Arctic is getting
    smaller every year.
    Why Are Oceans so Important?
    Oceans make up over 70% of the Earth’s surface.

    There are over 700,000 different species


    of animal that live in the ocean. It is
    important to protect the oceans to
    make sure their habitats are safe.

    The ocean is also full of tiny


    plants which help to produce
    oxygen, which we need
    to breathe.

    On top of this, oceans also provide


    food for many creatures, including
    humans!
    Problems
    Global Warming
    Overfishing make the seas more
    prevents fish acidic, killing coral
    from building up reefs on which many
    numbers and More than animals depend
    drives species 9 million tons of for food and
    extinction. plastic waste makes shelter.
    its way into the sea
    each year, harming
    animals who mistake
    it for food.
    What we can do?
    • Buy sustainable fish and seafood

    • Reduce plastic use, encourage reuse and recycle

    • Reduce use of fossil fuels that contribute to global warming

    • Ask politicians to protect oceans
