Geographic Context

GEOGRAPHIC CONTEXT OF THE SEAS AND OCEANS OF THE PLANET

There are four oceans in the world:
The Pacific Ocean: It s the biggest of the planet and goes from the oriental costes of Asia to the occidental coasts of America. It has an abyssal plain in the central part and an ocean ridge that are importants characterístics from that ocean. It has got 165.200.000 km2 from area.



The Indic Ocean: It goes from the orientals costes from Africa to the south of Asia, Australia and the Antartic. It's the hottest and the one with most salinity.
The Atlantic Ocean: It goes from Europe and Africa in its oriental riverside to America in the occidental. Its most important characteristic is the biggest Atlantic dorsal.
The Arctic Ocean: That is an especial one. Somebody considerate it a widening from the Atlantic ocean, althoug it is in contact with the Pacific too. During all the year it is protected from a big icecap by the atmosferics influences.

SEAS AND OCEANS OF THE WORLD

The difference between the oceans and the seas is that the seas are parts of the oceans that are near the coasts and have small depths that have names for the history. Another difference is the temperature that both have, the seas are hotter, their depth parts have 13 grades of temperature.

In Europe there are 18 seas, in America 14, in Asia 21, in Africa 4 and in Oceania 8. In this map you can see all the seas and the oceans of the whole world and you can compare ones with others.
I think in that video you can understand everything better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grJ1BwYxdTg

In conclusion I think that we can see that the water is a basic thing for our lives and we can't live a life without it. I think that it has been a little bit difficult to find the information but finally I could do it well.
