An ocean is a great mass of salt water.
Strictly speaking three oceans exist-the
Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific-to which the
Arctic is often added. They cover
approximately 70% or 363,000,000sq km
(140,000,000sq miles) of the total surface
area of the Earth. Water levels recorded in
the world's oceans have shown an increase of
10-15cm (4-6inches), over the past 100 years.
