Detailed explanation-1: -The ocean covers more than 70 percent of the surface of our planet. It’s hard to imagine, but about 97 percent of the Earth’s water can be found in our ocean. Of the tiny percentage that’s not in the ocean, about two percent is frozen up in glaciers and ice caps.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ocean is a huge body of saltwater that covers about 71 percent of Earth’s surface. The planet has one global ocean, though oceanographers and the countries of the world have traditionally divided it into four distinct regions: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic oceans.

Detailed explanation-3: -About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth’s water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Viewed from space, one of the most striking features of our home planet is the water, in both liquid and frozen forms, that covers approximately 75% of the Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean covering more than 30% of the Earth. It is located between the continents of North and South America, Asia and Australia. It is the deepest of all the oceans with the Marianna’s Trench with a depth of 35, 827 feet. It is bigger than all the continents of the world put together.
