There are five major oceans that make up much of our planet. They are the Pacific, Atlantic,
Indian, Southern and Arctic Oceans. Water covers about 70% of the Earth’s surface. The Earth's
oceans are all joined to each other.

The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world. It covers 165,250,000 km². It also has the
deepest waters. The Mariana Trench is 11,034 metres deep and 2,550 km²long. The Pacific
Ocean has very bad weather. Many powerful storms form out in the open ocean every year.
There is also a lot of volcanic activity in this ocean. In the Pacific, there are many small volcanic
islands such as Hawaii, Tonga and Samoa.
The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest ocean in the world. It covers an area of over
82,000,000 km². Under the Atlantic Ocean lies a mountain range called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
The Indian Ocean is smaller than the Atlantic. It covers about 73,000,000 km². It usually has
gentle breezes. However, from the months of April to October monsoons form over the ocean.
They carry a lot of rain into India that causes terrible floods.
The Southern Ocean is the fourth largest ocean. It covers an area of more than 20,000,000 km².
It’s a very cold ocean because it’s near the Antarctic and much of it is covered in ice.
The Arctic Ocean is the smallest of all five oceans. It covers about 14,000,000 km². It isn’t as
deep as the other oceans. It’s one of the coldest oceans. Ice covers the central part of the ocean
