Explain how the earth’s surface can be organized into continents and oceans. describe this way of organizing the earth in at least two to three sentences.

    The continents are the divisions of the earth space elaborated by man to better understand it. These are large landmasses that are separated by the oceans. Thus, according to the current division, there are six major continents: America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Antarctica.

    Oceans are portions of water that occupy the major and largest depressions of the planet's relief. It is, therefore, an immense set of water mixed with other elements, mainly mineral salts, and that surrounds the areas formed by the emerged lands, which includes islands and continents. If we consider that oceans, unlike seas, are not surrounded by continents on at least three sides, we can say that there are only three oceans: the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the Indian, since the Arctic and Antarctic Glacial Oceans would be, indeed large seas (or a set of seas).
