Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean from the Latin name Mare Pacificum peaceful sea, bestowed upon it by the Portuguese explorer ferdinand magellan is the largest of the Earth's oceans. It extends from the covers about 46% of the Earth's water surface and about 32% of its total surface area, making it larger than all of the Earth's land area combined. The equator subdivides it into the North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean at one point reaches a depth of 35,798 feet! The Pacific contains about 25,000 islands (more than the total number in the rest of the world's oceans combined)! Leave a coment to give me a topic for the next article.
