Two-thirds of the Earth's surface covered by oceans, which are a source of infinite resources: food, energy, water, hydrocarbons and minerals. The sea, in interaction with the atmosphere, lithosphere and biosphere, creates the conditions that enable various forms of life on the planet.

The Pacific Ocean is the largest in the world and extends from the eastern coast of Asia to the West of America. Its relief is characterized by an ocean large abyssal plain in central and mid-ocean ridge that runs off of America or turning to the Antarctic to reach Australia.
The Atlantic stretching from Europe and Africa in its eastern bank, to America by the West. The most salient feature of the huge undersea Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which runs from Iceland to near Antarctica.
The Indian Ocean lying between the east coast of Africa, southern Asia, Australia and Antarctica. It is the warmest and has the most salinity. His background is characterized by a central ridge that descends from the Arabian Peninsula and splits into two at its medium, a branch that goes to South Africa and one to Australia.
The Arctic Ocean is special. Some classifications consider it simply as a widening of the North Atlantic Ocean, but also is in contact with the Pacific through the Bering Strait. Throughout the year a vast ice cap protects the Arctic Ocean and atmospheric influences in this way stabilizes the stratification of water masses. ASK
