ocean facts

Oceans cover about 70% of the earth’s surface

Oceans contain roughly about 97% of earth water supply

Oceans affect temperatures and weather

All the oceans are connected together

Pacific Ocean – 64,186,000 area square miles depth 15,215, deepest depth the Mariana trench 36,200

Atlantic ocean- 33,420,000 area square miles depth 12,881, deepest depth the Puerto Rico trench 28,231

Indiana ocean- 28,350,000 area square miles depth 13,002, deepest depth the java trench 25,344

Antarctic ocean also known as the Southern ocean- 7,848,300 area square miles depth 13,100-16,400 deepest depth the southern end of the south sandwich trench 23,736

Arctic ocean- 5,106,000 area square miles depth 3,953 deepest depth Eurasia basin 17,881

Volcanoes under water get up to 2 stories tall white smoke come out of them which are cooler and often contain white compounds. Experts say that in the volcanoes the water is superheated which can get up to 750 degrees the pressure gets up to 500 times stronger than the earth atmosphere even though the volcanoes have toxic metals it doesn’t harm animals. These volcanoes are in the Pacific Ocean.

The Mariana trench is located in the Pacific Ocean just east of the 14 Mariana island 11”21’ north latitude and 142” 12” east longitude near Japan. It is the deepest part of the earth’s oceans and is the earth’s itself. It was created by a phenomena in which a plate topped by the oceanic crust and sub ducted under a plate topped by ocean crust. The deepest part of the trench is called the challenger deep.

The oceans have many features like land there’s mountains, canyons, plateaus, plains, and deep trenches.
