Detailed explanation-1: -Historically, there are four named oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic. However, most countries-including the United States-now recognize the Southern (Antarctic) as the fifth ocean. The Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian are the most commonly known. The Southern Ocean is the ‘newest’ named ocean.
Detailed explanation-2: -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: -While there is only one global ocean, the vast body of water that covers 71% of Earth is geographically divided into distinct regions. The United States recognizes five named ocean basins: Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, and Southern.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean are the five major oceans in order of their size. The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean and spread over one-third of the Earth.
