| ocean |
If we talk about one ocean, we mean one part of all the vast area of salt water that covers the earth. We think of all this salt water as being divided into five areas--five different oceans--and we give each ocean its own name. There is the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean. Each of these oceans is very, very large. [1/2 definitions] |
| Pacific Ocean |
the largest ocean in the world, separating Asia and North America, and Australia and South America, and extending as far south as the Southern Ocean; Pacific. |
| Southern Ocean |
The Southern Ocean is an ocean that goes around the continent of Antarctica. An ocean is a large body of salt water that covers a very large part of the earth. An ocean is much bigger than a sea or lake. The Southern Ocean is very cold, but it is home to many kinds of fish and birds. Some kinds of penguins and seals hunt for their food in the ocean, and different kinds of whales and dolphins can be found there too. |
