12 THE FIVE OCEANS The large expanse of salt water that covers three-quarters of the earth’s surface is truly one large ocean. However, this interconnected body of salt water has divisions which have the continents, or the equator, and other imaginary lines as their boundaries. SEAS A sea, on the other hand, is a body of salt water that is surrounded by land on all or most sides; they are however, part of one of the oceans. Note especially that sea and ocean refer to different bodies of water. Look at the globe showing the continents and oceans. Find the Caribbean Sea; note how the water seems to be surrounded by the archipelago of islands. Major seas include the Mediterranean, Baltic, Bering, Black, Caribbean, Coral, North, Red, and Yellow. ACTIVITY (Locate the seas mentioned above in your Atlas and see if the definition holds true for them. Pose any questions you have to your teacher and peers.) THE FIVE OCEANS The five major oceanic divisions are defined with reference to their location to the continents, various archipelagos, and other criteria. Make connections to the continents as you learn the names and locations of the oceans.
