CONTENT

Introduction
Geography of the oceans

*Four principle oceans*
*Pacific*	The World’s largest ocean, it covers over half of the total ocean surface and over 1/3 of the entire surface of the planet.
*Atlantic*	Named after the Atlas Mountains, it is about half the size of the Pacific and is not as deep.
*Indian*	Slightly smaller than the Atlantic, it lies mostly in the Southern Hemisphere.
*Arctic*	About 7% the size of the Pacific, it is permanently covered with an ice sheet.
*Antarctic*	Arguably another ocean, it is where the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans meet. However all oceans on Earth run together and form one huge ocean which covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.

Seven Seas – difference between oceans and seas
Ocean – Water surrounding land (continents)
Sea – Water surrounded by land

*THE ORIGINAL SEVEN SEAS*
Mediterranean	Adriatic	Aegean	Caspian	Aral	Black	Red

SUMMARY

Oceanography is very important to all of us. We originated from it. Our lives depend on it. We must take care of the oceans for our own sakes.

Some important questions are:

What is the scientific method?

What is the origin of the atmosphere and the oceans?

What is photosynthesis and respiration and how are they interrelated?
