are oceans in the world?

There is only one global ocean. Historically, there are four named ocean basins: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic. However, most countries - including the United States - now recognize the Southern (Antarctic) as the fifth ocean basin. The Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian are the most commonly known.

About 97 percent of Earth's water is in the ocean. The ocean covers more than 70 percent of the surface of our planet. It's hard to imagine, but about 97 percent of the Earth's water can be found in our ocean. Of the tiny percentage that's not in the ocean, about two percent is frozen up in glaciers and ice caps.

In reality, however, we have a limited amount of usable fresh water. Over 97 percent of the earth's water is found in the oceans as salt water.

There are five classifications of bodies of water: Oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and canals. There are 5 oceans: Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Southern. They are salt water and cover 2/3 of the earth's surface.

Ocean trenches are found in every ocean basin on the planet, although the deepest ocean trenches ring the Pacific as part of the so-called “Ring of Fire” that also includes active volcanoes and earthquake zones.

But just how much water exists on, in, and above our planet? About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water.

There are over 40 countries in the world that do not border an ocean. Two are in South America (Bolivia and Paraguay), while the rest are dispersed across Europe, Africa, and Asia. There are two continents without any landlocked nations: North America and (obviously) the giant island of Australia.

Seawater is water from a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of approximately 3.5%, or 35 parts per thousand. This means that for every 1 litre (1000 mL) of seawater there are 35 grams of salts (mostly, but not entirely, sodium chloride) dissolved in it.

Earth is the only known planet to have bodies of liquid water on its surface. ... In 2015, NASA confirmed that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars. Also in 2015, scientists used data from NASA's Cassini mission to discover that a global ocean lies beneath the icy crust of Saturn's moon Enceladus.

An ocean is a vast body of salt water that surrounds a continent. A sea is also a body of salt water, partly or completely surrounded by land, and often connected to the ocean. ... A lake is a large body of water that is surrounded on all sides by land. Lakes are generally larger and deeper than ponds.

The largest of all the ecosystems, oceans are very large bodies of water that dominate the Earth's surface. Like ponds and lakes, the ocean regions are separated into separate zones: intertidal, pelagic, abyssal, and benthic. All four zones have a great diversity of species.

Ocean: The vast body of salt water that covers almost three fourths of the earth surface. Sea: A sea is part of the ocean partially enclosed by land. Seas are found on the margins of the ocean and are partially enclosed by land. Beach: An expanse of sand and peddles along a shore.

The earth has an abundance of water, but unfortunately, only a small percentage (about 0.3 percent), is even usable by humans. The other 99.7 percent is in the oceans, soils, icecaps, and floating in the atmosphere.

About 97% of Earth's water is contained in oceans and seas. The five oceans—the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic—are all connected and form an enormous mass of water. Seas are smaller bodies of salty water within the oceans. The oceans are salty, which makes them unsuitable for drinking.
