How many oceans?
Question: How many oceans?
There are 5 major oceans. The five oceans are the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific
Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Southern Ocean.
If you had asked this question prior to the year 2000, the answer would have
been 4 oceans. The Southern Ocean (aka Antarctic Ocean) was not considered
an ocean until 2000.
You may argue that there is only one Earth Ocean, because
there is only one body of water. A capable ship can reach any
part of any ocean from any other ocean.
You may be thinking that there are 7 oceans, because you have
heard singers and pirates talking about the Seven Seas.
The Seven Seas refers to the 7 largest bodies of water in
the world and not necessarily the oceans. The Seven Seas or
seven largest bodies of water are the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian
Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico.
