Atlantic

Ocean
ATLANTIC OCEAN
The Atlantic drives our weather patterns,
including hurricanes, and is home to many
species from sea turtles to dolphins. For
centuries the Atlantic Ocean has been a key
avenue of trade and travel. Stretching from the
Arctic Circle to Antarctica, the Atlantic Ocean is
bordered by the Americas to the west and
Europe and Africa to the east.
 The deepest part in
Atlantic Ocean

 The deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean is the Milwaukee Deep

within the Puerto Rico Trench. The Milwaukee Deep reaches a
depth of 28,373 feet. It's part of the Puerto Rico Trench that spans
487 miles long from Hispaniola to past the Lesser Antilles. It spans
around 60 miles wide.
 History of
Atlantic Ocean
Atlantic Ocean is the youngest of the five oceans,
having formed during the Jurassic Period
approximately 150 million years ago following the
breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea. The Atlantic
Ocean is the second-largest ocean on Earth,
accounting for one fifth of the Earth's surface and
29% of the Earth's water.
 5 fact of Atlantic Ocean
1. The Atlantic Ocean covers an impressive 47 million square miles. To
put that number into perspective, you could fit more than 6 ½ United
States inside of the Atlantic Ocean.
2. The Atlantic Ocean covers 20% of the world's total surface. While it's
the second largest ocean out of the other 5 world oceans, it is the
second youngest.
3. The Atlantic Ocean is incredibly deep. The deepest portion of water
is the Milwaukee Deep, located off the coast of Puerto Rico. Waters
here reach down an average of 10.955-feet.

4. The Atlantic connected the Arctic Ocean to the north. It borders the
Antarctic ocean to the south. It is also connected to the Indian Ocean
from the southeast. It is connected to the Pacific Ocean on the
southwest.

5. The Atlantic Ocean has the largest drainage area some of the
world's largest rivers feed the Atlantic Ocean. Rivers like the Amazon,
Mississippi, Niger, and Congo flow into the Baltic and Mediterranean
Seas. These seas eventually flow and drain into the Atlantic
 Climate is influenced by the
CLIMATE temperatures of the surface
waters and water currents
as well as winds. Because of
the ocean's great capacity to
store and release heat,
maritime climates are more
moderate and have less
extreme seasonal variations
than inland climates.
Precipitation can be
approximated from coastal
weather data and air
temperature from water
temperatures
