Ocean 2
An ocean (from Ancient Greek (Okeanos); the World Ocean of classical antiquity) is a body of saline
water that composes much of a planet's hydrosphere. On Earth, an ocean is one of the major conventional divisions
of the World Ocean, which occupies two-thirds of planet's surface. These are, in descending order by area, the
Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern (Antarctic), and Arctic Oceans. The word sea is often used interchangeably with
"ocean" in American English but, strictly speaking, a sea is a body of saline water (generally a division of the World
Ocean) that land partly or fully encloses.
Earth is the only planet that is known to have an ocean (or any large amounts of open liquid water). Saline water
covers approximately 72% of the planet's surface (~3.6x108km
2) and is customarily divided into several principal
oceans and smaller seas, with the ocean covering approximately 71% of the Earth's surface. The ocean contains 97%
of the Earth's water, and oceanographers have stated that only 5% of the World Ocean has been explored. The total
volume is approximately 1.3 billion cubic kilometres (310 million cu mi) with an average depth of 3,682 metres
(12,080 ft).
The ocean principally comprises Earth's hydrosphere and therefore is integral to all known life, forms part of the
carbon cycle, and influences climate and weather patterns. It is the habitat of 230,000 known species, although much
of the ocean's depths remain unexplored, and over two million marine species are estimated to exist. The origin of
Earth's oceans remains unknown; oceans are believed to have formed in the Hadean period and may have been theimpetus for the emergence of life.
Extraterrestrial oceans may be composed of water or other elements and compounds. The only confirmed large
stable bodies of extraterrestrial surface liquids are the lakes of Titan, although there is evidence for the existence of
oceans elsewhere in the Solar System. Early in their geologic histories, Mars and Venus are theorized to have had
large water oceans. The Mars ocean hypothesis suggests that nearly a third of the surface of Mars was once covered
by water, and a runaway greenhouse effect may have boiled away the global ocean of Venus. Compounds such as
salts and ammonia dissolved in water lower its freezing point, so that water might exist in large quantities in
extraterrestrial environments as brine or convecting ice. Unconfirmed oceans are speculated beneath the surface of
many dwarf planets and natural satellites; notably, the ocean of Europa is believed to have over twice the water
volume of Earth. The Solar System's gas giant planets are also believed to possess liquid atmospheric layers of yet to
be confirmed compositions. Oceans may also exist on exoplanets and exomoons, including surface oceans of liquid
water within a circumstellar habitable zone. Ocean planets are a hypothetical type of planet with a surface
completely covered with liquid.

Earth's global ocean
Divisions
Various ways to divide the World Ocean
Though generally described as several separate oceans,
these waters comprise one global, interconnected body of
salt water sometimes referred to as the World Ocean orglobal ocean.[2] This concept of a continuous body of
water with relatively free interchange among its parts is
of fundamental importance to oceanography.
The major oceanic divisions are defined in part by the
continents, various archipelagos, and other criteria. See
the table below for more information; note that the table
is in descending order in terms of size.
Rank Ocean Notes
1 Pacific Ocean Separates Asia and Oceania from the Americas
2 Atlantic Ocean Separates the Americas from Eurasia and Africa
3 Indian Ocean Washes upon southern Asia and separates Africa and Australia
4 Southern
Ocean
Sometimes considered an extension of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans, which encircles Antarctica
5 Arctic Ocean Sometimes considered a sea of the Atlantic, which covers much of the Arctic and washes upon northern North America
and Eurasia
The Pacific and Atlantic may be further subdivided by the equator into northern and southern portions. A smaller
region of the ocean can be called other names, such as sea, gulf, bay, and strait.
Physical properties
The total mass of the hydrosphere is about 1,400,000,000,000,000,000 metric tons (1.51018
short tons) or 1.41021
kg, which is about 0.023 percent of the Earth's total mass. Less than 3 percent is freshwater; the rest is saltwater,
mostly in the ocean. The area of the World Ocean is 361 million square kilometres (139 million square miles), and
its volume is approximately 1.3 billion cubic kilometres (310 million cu mi). This can be thought of as a cube of
water with an edge length of 1,111 kilometres (690 mi). Its average depth is 3,790 metres (12,430 ft), and its
maximum depth is 10,923 metres (6.787 mi). Nearly half of the world's marine waters are over 3,000 metres
(9,800 ft) deep. The vast expanses of deep ocean (anything below 200 metres (660 ft)) cover about 66% of the
Earth's surface. This does not include seas not connected to the World Ocean, such as the Caspian Sea.
The bluish color of water is a composite of several contributing agents. Prominent contributors include dissolved
organic matter and chlorophyll.[3]
Sailors and other mariners have reported that the ocean often emits a visible glow, or luminescence, which extends
for miles at night. In 2005, scientists announced that for the first time, they had obtained photographic evidence of

Zones and depths
The major oceanic divisions
Oceanographers divide the ocean into
different zones by physical and
biological conditions. The pelagic zoneincludes all open ocean and comprises
further regions of depth and light
abundance. The photic zone falls
two-hundred meters below the oceanic
surface and is where photosynthesis
can occur and therefore the most
biodiverse. Plants require
photosynthesis: deeper life relies on
material sinking from above (see
marine snow) or another energy
source. Hydrothermal vents are the
primary source in what is known as the
aphotic zone (depths exceeding
200 m). The pelagic part of the photic
zone is known as the epipelagic.
The pelagic part of the aphotic zone comprises regions that descend in vertical order according to temperature. The
mesopelagic is the uppermost region. Its lowermost boundary is at a thermocline of 12 C (54 F), which, in the
tropics generally lies at 7001,000 metres (2,3003,300 ft). Next is the bathypelagic lying between 10 and 4 C (50
and 39 F), typically between 7001,000 metres (2,3003,300 ft) and 2,0004,000 metres (6,60013,100 ft) Lyingalong the top of the abyssal plain is the abyssopelagic, whose lower boundary lies at about 6,000 metres (20,000 ft).
The last zone includes the deep oceanic trench, and is known as the hadalpelagic. This lies between 6,00011,000
metres (20,00036,000 ft) and is the deepest oceanic zone.
The benthic zones are aphotic and correspond to the three deepest zones of the deep-sea. The bathyal zone covers the
continental slope down to about 4,000 metres (13,000 ft). The abyssal zone covers the abyssal plains between 4,000
and 6,000 m. Lastly, the hadal zone corresponds to the hadalpelagic zone, which is found in oceanic trenches. The
pelagic zone comprises two subregions: the neritic zone and the oceanic zone. The neritic encompasses the water
mass directly above the continental shelves whereas the oceanic zone includes all the completely open water.
Whereas the littoral zone covers the region between low and high tide and represents the transitional area between
marine and terrestrial conditions. It is also known as the intertidal zone because it is the area where tide level affects
the conditions of the region.
The ocean can be divided into three density zones: the surface zone, the pycnocline, and the deep zone. The surface
zone, also called the mixed layer, refers to the uppermost density zone of the ocean. Temperature and salinity are
relatively constant with depth in this zone due to currents and wave action. The surface zone contains ocean water
that is in contact with the atmosphere and within the photic zone. The surface zone has the ocean's least dense water
and represents approximately 2% of the total volume of ocean water. The surface zone usually ranges between
depths of 500 feet to 3,300 feet below ocean surface, but this can vary a great deal. In some cases, the surface zone
can be entirely non-existent. The surface zone is typically thicker in the tropics than in regions of higher latitude. The
transition to colder, denser water is more abrupt in the tropics than in regions of higher latitudes. The pycnoclinerefers to a zone wherein density substantially increases with depth due primarily to decreases in temperature. The
pycnocline effectively separates the lower-density surface zone above from the higher-density deep zone below. The

pycnocline represents approximately 18% of the total volume of ocean water. The deep zone refers to the lowermost
density zone of the ocean. The deep zone usually begins at depths below 3,300 feet in mid-latitudes. The deep zone
undergoes negligible changes in water density with depth. The deep zone represents approximately 80% of the total
volume of ocean water. The deep zone contains relatively colder and stable water.
If a zone undergoes dramatic changes in temperature with depth, it contains a thermocline. The tropical thermocline
is typically deeper than the thermocline at higher latitudes. Polar waters, which receive relatively little solar energy,are not stratified by temperature and generally lack a thermocline since surface water at polar latitudes are nearly as
cold as water at greater depths. Below the thermocline, water is very cold, ranging from -1C to 3C. Since this deep
and cold layer contains the bulk of ocean water, the average temperature of the world ocean is 3.9C If a zone
undergoes dramatic changes in salinity with depth, it contains a halocline. If a zone undergoes a strong, vertical
chemistry gradient with depth, it contains a chemocline.
The halocline often coincides with the thermocline, and the combination produces a pronounced pycnocline.
Exploration
Map of large underwater features (1995, NOAA)
Ocean travel by boat dates back to
prehistoric times, but only in modern
times has extensive underwater travel
become possible.
The deepest point in the ocean is the
Mariana Trench, located in the Pacific
Ocean near the Northern Mariana
Islands. Its maximum depth has been
estimated to be 10,971 metres
(35,994 ft) (plus or minus 11 meters;
see the Mariana Trench article fordiscussion of the various estimates of
the maximum depth.) The British naval
vessel, Challenger II surveyed the
trench in 1951 and named the deepest part of the trench, the "Challenger Deep". In 1960, the Trieste successfully
reached the bottom of the trench, manned by a crew of two men.
Much of the ocean bottom remains unexplored and unmapped. A global image of many underwater features larger
than 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) was created in 1995 based on gravitational distortions of the nearby sea surface.[citation

Climate
A map of the global thermohaline circulation; blue
represent deep-water currents, while red represent
surface currents
Ocean currents greatly affect the Earth's climate by transferring
heat from the tropics to the polar regions. Transferring warm or
cold air and precipitation to coastal regions, where winds may
carry them inland. Surface heat and freshwater fluxes create global
density gradients that drive the thermohaline circulation part oflarge-scale ocean circulation. It plays an important role in
supplying heat to the polar regions, and thus in sea ice regulation.
Changes in the thermohaline circulation are thought to have
significant impacts on the Earth's radiation budget. In so far as the
thermohaline circulation governs the rate at which deep waters
reach the surface, it may also significantly influence atmospheric
carbon dioxide concentrations.
For a discussion of the possibilities of changes to the thermohaline circulation under global warming, see shutdown
of thermohaline circulation.It is often stated that the thermohaline circulation is the primary reason that the climate of Western Europe is so
temperate. An alternate hypothesis claims that this is largely incorrect, and that Europe is warm mostly because it
lies downwind of an ocean basin, and because atmospheric waves bring warm air north from the subtropics.
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current encircles that continent, influencing the area's climate and connecting currents in
several oceans.
One of the most dramatic forms of weather occurs over the oceans: tropical cyclones (also called "typhoons" and
"hurricanes" depending upon where the system forms).
Biology
The ocean has a significant effect on the biosphere. Oceanic evaporation, as a phase of the water cycle, is the source
of most rainfall, and ocean temperatures determine climate and wind patterns that affect life on land. Life within the
ocean evolved 3 billion years prior to life on land. Both the depth and the distance from shore strongly influence the
biodiversity of the plants and animals present in each region.[4]
Lifeforms native to the ocean include:
Fish;
Radiata, such as jellyfish (Cnidaria);
Cetacea, such as whales, dolphins, and porpoises;
Cephalopods, such as octopus and squid;
Crustaceans, such as lobsters, clams, shrimp, and krill;
Marine worms;
Plankton; and
Echinoderms, such as brittle stars, starfish, sea cucumbers, and sand dollars.

Mixing Time
Residence Time = The amount of the element in the ocean The rate at which that element is added to (or removed
from) the ocean
The mean oceanic mixing time (residence time) is thought to be approximately 1,600 years. If a given element in the
ocean stays in the ocean, on average, longer than the oceanic mixing time, then that element is assumed to be
homogeneously spread throughout the ocean. As a result, since the major salts have a residence time that is longer
than 1,600 years, the ratio of major salts is thought to be unchanging across the ocean. This constant ratio is often
referred to as Forchhammer's principle or the principle of constant proportions.

Salinity
A zone of rapid salinity increase with depth is called a halocline. The temperature of maximum density of seawater
decreases as its salt content increases. Freezing temperature of water decreases with salinity, and boiling temperature
of water increases with salinity. Typical seawater freezes at around -1.9C at atmospheric pressure. If precipitation
exceeds evaporation, as is the case in polar and temperate regions, salinity will be lower. If evaporation exceeds
precipitation, as is the case in tropical regions, salinity will be higher. Thus, oceanic waters in polar regions have
lower salinity content than oceanic waters in temperate and tropical regions.
Salinity can be calculated using the chlorinity, which is a measure of the total mass of halogen ions (includes
fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) in seawater. By international agreement, the following formula is used to
determine salinity:
Salinity (in) = 1.80655 x Chlorinity (in)
The average chlorinity is about 19.2, and, thus, the average salinity is around 34.7

Economic value
The oceans are essential to transportation. This is because most of the world's goods move by ship between the
world's seaports. Oceans are also the major supply source for the fishing industry. Some of the more major ones are
shrimp, fish, crabs, and lobster.
Waves
The motions which first present themselves to our notice are partial and alternate rising and falling of the surface is
known as undulations or waves.
Extraterrestrial oceans
See alsoExtraterrestrial liquid water
Two models for the composition of Europa
predict a large subsurface ocean of liquid water.
Similar models have been proposed for other
celestial bodies in the Solar System
While Earth is the only known planet with large stable bodies of liquid
water on its surface and the only one in our Solar System, other
celestial bodies are believed to possess large oceans.
Planets
The gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, are thought to lack surfaces and
instead have a stratum of liquid hydrogen, however their planetary
geology is not well understood. The possibility of Uranus and Neptune
possessing hot, highly compressed, supercritical water under their thick
atmospheres has been hypothesised. While their composition is still not
fully understood, a 2006 study by Wiktorowicz et al. ruled out the
possibility of such a water "ocean" existing on Neptune, though some
studies have suggested that exotic oceans of liquid diamond are
possible.
The Mars ocean hypothesis suggests that nearly a third of the surface
of Mars was once covered by water, though the water on Mars is no
longer oceanic. The possibility continues to be studied along with
reasons for their apparent disappearance. Astronomers believe that
Venus had liquid water and perhaps oceans in its very early history. If
they existed, all later vanished via resurfacing.
Natural satellites
A global layer of liquid water thick enough to decouple the crust from the mantle is believed to be present on Titan,
Europa and, with less certainty, Callisto, Ganymede and Triton. A magma ocean is thought to be present on Io.
Geysers have been found on Saturn's moon Enceladus, though their origins are not well understood. Other icy moons
may also have internal oceans, or have once had internal oceans that have now frozen.
Large bodies of liquid hydrocarbons are thought to be present on the surface of Titan, though they are not large
enough to be described as oceans and are sometimes referred to as lakes or seas. The CassiniHuygens space
mission initially discovered only what appeared to be dry lakebeds and empty river channels, suggesting that Titan
had lost what surface liquids it might have had. Cassini's more recent fly-by of Titan offers radar images that
strongly suggest hydrocarbon lakes exist near the colder polar regions. Titan is thought to have a subterranean water

ocean under the ice and hydrocarbon mix that forms its outer crust.
Dwarf planets and trans-Neptunian objects
Diagram showing a possible internal structure of
Ceres
Ceres appears to be differentiated into a rocky core and icy mantle and
may harbour a liquid-water ocean under its surface.
Not enough is known of the larger Trans-Neptunian objects to
determine whether they are differentiated bodies capable of possessing
oceans, although models of radioactive decay suggest that Pluto, Eris,
Sedna, and Orcus have oceans beneath solid icy crusts at the
core-boundary approximately 100 to 180 km thick.
Extrasolar
Rendering of a hypothetical large extrasolar
moon with surface liquid-water oceans
Some planets and natural satellites beyond the Solar System are likely
to possess oceans, including possible water ocean planets similar to
Earth in the habitable zone or "liquid-water belt". The detection of
oceans, even through the spectroscopy method, however is likely to
prove extremely difficult and inconclusive.
Theoretical models have been used to predict with high probability that
GJ 1214 b, detected by transit, is composed of exotic form of ice VII,
making up 75% of its mass, making it an ocean planet.
Other possible candidates are merely speculated based on their mass
and position in the habitable zone include planet though little is
actually known of their composition. Some scientists speculate Kepler-22b may be an "ocean-like" planet. Models
have been proposed for Gliese 581 d that could include surface oceans. Gliese 436 b is speculated to have an ocean
of "hot ice". Extrasolar moons orbiting planets, particularly gas giants within their parent star's habitable zone may
theoretically possess surface oceans.
Terrestrial planets will acquire water during their accretion, some of which will be buried in the magma ocean but
most of it will go into a steam atmosphere, and when the atmosphere cools it will collapse on to the surface forming
an ocean. There will also be outgassing of water from the mantle as the magma solidifies - this will happen even for
planets with a low percentage of their mass composed of water, so "super-Earth exoplanets may be expected to
commonly produce water oceans within tens to hundreds of millions of years of their last major accretionary
impact."
Non-water surface liquids
Oceans, seas, lakes, etc., can be composed of liquids other than water: e.g. the hydrocarbon lakes on Titan. The
possibility of seas of nitrogen on Triton was also considered but ruled out. [13] Underneath the thick atmospheres of
Uranus and Neptune it is expected that these planets are composed of oceans of hot high-density fluid mixtures of
water, ammonia and other volatiles. The gaseous outer layers of Jupiter and Saturn transition smoothly into oceans of
liquid hydrogen. There is evidence that the icy surfaces of the moons Ganymede, Callisto, Europa, Titan and
Enceladus are shells floating on oceans of very dense liquid water or waterammonia. Earth is often called the ocean

planet because it is 70% covered in water.[14]
The atmosphere of Venus is 96.5% carbon dioxide and at the surface
the pressure makes the CO2
a supercritical fluid. Extrasolar terrestrial planets that are extremely close to their parent
star will be tidally locked and so one half of the planet will be a magma ocean. It is also possible that terrestrial
planets had magma oceans at some point during their formation as a result of giant impacts.[15]
Where there are
suitable temperatures and pressures, volatile chemicals which might exist as liquids in abundant quantities on planets
include ammonia, argon, carbon disulfide, ethane, hydrazine, hydrogen, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulfide,
methane, neon, nitrogen, nitric oxide, phosphine, silane, sulfuric acid, and water.[16]Hot Neptunes close to their star
could lose their atmospheres via hydrodynamic escape, leaving behind their cores with various liquids on the
surface.[17]
