  1. Five Oceans TCH 347 Social Studies Methods in Elementary School Department of Teacher Education Instructor: Dr. Han Liu

  2. Five Oceans • Pacific • Atlantic • Indian • Southern • Arctic

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. Mnemonics • By Tradition • AAIP: Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific • By Size • PAISA:Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic

  10. Identify Oceans

  11. Identify Oceans

  12. 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

  13. Terms: Resources • placer deposits • manganese nodules • polymetallic nodules • Sand & gravel aggregates

  14. 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.

  15. 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)!
