Location of the Pacific Ocean The Pacific Ocean

is located between both continents which is North

America & Asia. The Pacific Ocean

is the Earth’s Largest Ocean.

The northern border of the ocean goes up to

Alaska.The Southern border of ocean goes all the way

down to Antarctica.

Geography surroundings The Major chokepoints of the pacific ocean.

• Bering Strait• Luzon Strait• Singapore strait• Panama Canal

Geography surroundings continued….

The Pacific ocean goes through the Luzon strait, the panama canal,, the Bering strait, and the Singapore strait. It has lots of islands with volcanoes and coral reef on the lower southwestern pacific ocean.

The effects of sunlight on the aquatic life inhabiting the pacific

Ocean.

Sunlight is essential or important to the aquaticlife because it helps organisms survive.

Without sunlight the climate would unexpectedly change leading to cooler temperatures.

The rays of the sun goes down around 70 feet which is where 90 percent of all marine lives.

The depths and salinity your Body of water and how this shapes

The types of aquatic life.

The Pacific Ocean is warmer thanThe Atlantic Ocean. The water temperatures vary from

Freezing areas which goes up to 25-30 degrees Celsius, &Near the equator the temperature goes from 77-84 degrees Fahrenheit. The Salinity of the ocean variesFrom latitude. Rainfalls and variable winds near the

Equator makes the water less salty.

Predictions or current research On the effects of climate change to

Your body of water.In the western pacific ocean has a lot of tropical corals.

What do these corals do in the ocean? The corals tells us that the depth of the water in the warm surface water and

then meets the deeper part of the water which is colder because there is no sunlight. It becomes shallower and

shallower known as the thermocline. The global changes Has been affecting for a while that this was their firstPhysical evidence that supported their predictions.

The effects of seasonal changes to water temperatures

and aquatic life in your body of waterMany things of ecology and the

cl imates of the pacifi c northwest are usually aff ected by weather,

circulati on patt erns, and mountains around the area.

Did You Know the Pacifi c Ocean is the Earth’s Largest

Ocean?Well, To me it was simple for me to

Find that out & when I did my researchI knew the pacifi c ocean was the largest ocean of the

earth.
