• Five oceans separate and surround Earth’s landmasses.
• They are, from largest to smallest, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic Oceans.

• Oceans cover about 71% of Earth’s surface, almost three times the area that land covers.

1. Ocean water is salty, so you can’t drink it. The saltiness of water is its salinity.
• Salinity makes water denser, so boats float more easily in the ocean than they do in fresh water.
2. Exploring beneath the ocean’s surface requires SCUBA tanks for air and suits to keep warm.
3. Water pressure is the force of water pressing against whatever it surrounds.

• At certain depths, a submersible—an underwater vehicle which provides air, light, and protection from water pressure and cold—must be used.
• Some places are too deep for human-driven submersibles, so robotic submersibles are used.

• The floors of all the world’s oceans share roughly the same features.

1. Oceanic trenches form where two plates meet and one sinks beneath the other, releasing magma at the boundary.
![Page 20: Unit 11 Lesson 1 What Are the Oceans Like? Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051302/5a4d1b547f8b9ab0599a8a90/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

2. Volcanic island chains form at plate boundaries and grow until they poke into the air, creating volcanic islands.
• The islands weather and erode over time and eventually disappear beneath the water again.

3. In tropical regions, coral reefs form in shallow water around volcanic islands. These reefs can grow until they encircle an island.
• A reef can come out of the water, forming land that surrounds a lagoon of shallow water.
4. When a volcanic island sinks far enough to disappear, the ring-shaped coral, called an atoll, is left around the lagoon.
