97% OF WATER ON THE EARTH IS SALT WATER, AND ONLY 3% IS FRESH WATER

There are five oceans on the

Earth. These are the Pacific,

Atlantic, Indian, Arctic and Antarctic Ocean . These oceans all flow into each

other. 

With so much water on our planet, oceans are an important part of it.  

The Antarctic is the second smallest ocean. During the winter, large parts of the ocean are frozen.

The Arctic Ocean is the world’s smallest and shallowest ocean. For almost half of the year, this ocean is covered in thick ice. The Arctic is home to endangered species such as walruses and whales.

The Indian Ocean is the third largest ocean in the world. There are many coral reefs found in this ocean.

The Pacific Ocean is the world’s largest and deepest ocean covering almost one third of the Earth’s surface.

The Atlantic Ocean is the world’s second largest ocean. This ocean is less salty than the other oceans as plenty of fresh water flows into it from the many rivers on the surrounding continents.

The Pacific Ocean is the world’s largest and deepest ocean covering almost one third of the Earth’s surface.
