0% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: 5 : Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Southern

World geography officially recognizes five oceans which form a single, immense, continuous body of water. The largest is the Pacific Ocean, covering a third of the earth's surface, followed by the Atlantic, which separates the Old from the New World. The Indian Ocean is mainly located in the southern hemisphere, while the Arctic crowns the North Pole.Finally, the Southern Ocean, surrounding Antarctica, was officially recognized by the International Hydrographic Organization in 2000 for its unique biological and climatic characteristics. Together, they regulate the global climate thanks to their currents, absorb an immense part of atmospheric carbon dioxide and shelter biodiversity that is still largely unknown. This division into five entities allows scientists and navigators to better map the thermal dynamics and marine ecosystems specific to each region of the globe, highlighting the vital importance of preserving these vast salty expanses essential to the survival of humanity.
