Explanation:

The Earth's ocean is an enormous body of water that is consisted of five parts that are connected with each other. The five parts that make the Earth's ocean are the five oceans, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Southern Ocean. All of these oceans are further divided into numerous parts, located at their peripheries, known as seas. The Pacific Ocean is located between Asia and Australia from one side, and the Americas on the other side, gradually becoming smaller because of subduction. The Atlantic Ocean is located between the Americas from one side, and Europe and Africa on the other side, gradually increasing in size because of divergence. The Indian Ocean is located between Asia, Africa, and Australia, being the third largest. The Arctic Ocean is surrounded by Eurasia and North America, being the northernmost ocean in the world, while the Southern Ocean is the southernmost ocean, surrounding the Antarctic.
