FIVE OCEANS
TCH 347 Social Studies Methods in Elementary SchoolDepartment of Teacher Education
Instructor: Dr. Han Liu
Five Oceans• Pacific • Atlantic• Indian• Southern• Arctic
Antarctic Ocean• Background: The Arctic Ocean is the
smallest of the world's five oceans • Location: body of water between
Europe, Asia, and North America, mostly north of the Arctic Circle
• Coordinates: 90 00 N, 0 00 E• Arctic Region Area: total: 14.056
million sq km.• Climate: polar climate characterized
by persistent cold and relatively narrow annual temperature ranges
• Natural Resources: petroleum, natural gas, fish, and seals.
Atlantic Ocean• Background: The Atlantic Ocean is
the second largest of the world's • Location: body of water between
Africa, Europe, the Southern Ocean, and the Western Hemisphere
• Coordinates: 0 00 N, 25 00 W • Area: total: 76.762 million sq km • Climate: tropical cyclones
(hurricanes)• Natural resources: oil and gas
fields, fish, marine mammals (seals and whales), sand and gravel aggregates, placer deposits, polymetallic nodules, precious stones
Indian Ocean • Background: the third largest
of the world's five oceans• Location: body of water
between Africa, the Southern Ocean, Asia, and Australia
• Coordinates: 20 00 S, 80 00 E
• Area: total: 68.556 million sq km • Climate: monsoon, tropical
cyclones• Natural resources: oil and gas
fields, fish, shrimp, sand and gravel aggregates, placer deposits, polymetallic nodules
Pacific Ocean• Background: is the largest of the world's
five oceans• Location: body of water between the
Southern Ocean, Asia, Australia, and the Western Hemisphere Geographic
• Coordinates: 0 00 N, 160 00 W • Area: total: 155.557 million sq km
Area - comparative: about 15 times the size of the US; covers about 28% of the global surface; larger than the total land area of the world
• Climate: planetary air pressure systems and resultant wind patterns, trade winds, tropical cyclones (hurricanes), rainy season and dry season, tropical cyclones (typhoons)
• Natural resources: oil and gas fields, polymetallic nodules, sand and gravel aggregates, placer deposits, fish
Southern Ocean• Background: is now the fourth
largest of the world's five oceans• Location: body of water between
60 degrees south latitude and Antarctica
• Coordinates: 65 00 S, 0 00 E
• Area: total: 20.327 million sq km • Climate: cyclonic storms• Natural resources: probable large
and possible giant oil and gas fields on the continental margin, manganese nodules, possible placer deposits, sand and gravel, fresh water as icebergs; squid, whales, and seals - none exploited; krill, fishes
Mnemonics • By Tradition• AAIP: Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific• By Size• PAISA: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and
Arctic

Identify Oceans
Identify Oceans
Terms: Climate with Oceans
• Pacific Ocean: Typhoon, trade winds, tropical cyclones, rainy and dry season
• Atlantic Ocean: Tropical cyclones / Hurricane• Indian Ocean: Monsoon, tropical cyclones• Southern Ocean: Cyclonic storms• Arctic Ocean: Polar climate characterized by
persistent cold and relatively narrow annual temperature ranges
Terms: Resources• placer deposits• manganese nodules• polymetallic nodules• Sand & gravel aggregates
Questions• Which ocean is the newest member of world
ocean family?– Southern Ocean/Antarctic Ocean – The IHO (International Hydrographic Organization)
settle that debate through a year 2000 publication by declaring, naming, and demarcating the Southern Ocean.
Extremes• The largest ocean• The smallest ocean• The newest ocean• The ocean that counts for 28 percent of total
global surface • Water bodies count for 70 percent of total global
surface • Deepest Ocean Point Over 7 Miles Down! -
Mariana Trench (video)!
