Oceans and Seas around the World
Oceans
The oceans hold the most amount of water on Earth. The Oceans have salt water. They cover 70% of the world and contain 97% of all the water. The oceans are so big that they affect the way we live greatly. This includes our weather which means whether it will be hot and dry or cold and stormy. There are five different oceans they all connect and cover 70% of the planet.
The Pacific Ocean (Between The West of The Americas, The East of Asia and Australia) The Pacific Ocean has 32 seas. It is 36,000 feet deep at its deepest point. That is 4500 times taller than the world’s tallest man Robert Waldow.
The Atlantic Ocean (Between Europe, Africa and The East side of The Americas) The Atlantic Ocean has 34 seas. It is 28,000 feet deep at its deepest point. That is 80 times taller than the world’s tallest tree - the Californian Redwood.
