Notes:
Ocean – a large body of water that is part of the oceans. It is located between, actively interacts with the atmosphere and the Earth’s crust, has a water circulation system, etc.
World Ocean – the water shell of the Earth, which surrounds the continents and islands. Covers almost 71% of the surface of our planet. The area of the World Ocean is approximately 361,26 million km2, and the volume is 1340740 thousand km3.
They also conditionally distinguish the “fifth ocean” – South, which is a collection of the southern parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans surrounding Antarctica. Its area is about 20,327 million km2.
