Oceans map

Arctic Ocean: It covers about 14,056,000 km² of extension and its depths range between 2000 m and 4000 m in the central region. The waters of the Arctic Ocean remain under thick layers of ice for the most part.
Pacific Ocean: It occupies one third of its surface. Area 165.700.000 km².The Pacific contains approximately 25,000 islands (more than all the other oceans in the world combined).
Atlantic ocean: It is the second largest ocean on Earth after the Pacific Ocean with 106.400.000km2. It occupies 20% of the surface of the planet. It is also the youngest ocean on the planet, formed 200 million years ago by the division of the supercontinent Pangea.
Indic ocean: The Indian Ocean covers approximately 20% of the planet's surface. Its area is 73.556.000 km².In the southern hemisphere of the ocean, in its central region, typical storms are created continuously,
Antartic ocean: It has an area of 20,327,000 km².The glaciers that have spread and floated on the surface of the ocean have formed an extensive system of ice plateaus.

Finally some curiosities of Dead sea

6 cosas que no sabias sobre el Mar Muerto

Dead sea

1-For some reasons it is called the Dead Sea so no organisms live, but some bacteria, fungi and microorganisms are adapted to the habitat.

2-Due to that high salinity, the Dead Sea is the ideal place to float.

3-The Dead Sea is like a natural sanatorium because of the minerals of the water, the little allergens in the atmosphere and the few UV rays of the solar radiation.

4-In this sea the asphalt deposits abound. The ancient civilizations took advantage of this natural resource, with which they built different figures and sculptures.

Personal opinion: This work is so interesting to learn new information about seas and oceans and add general culture.
