Generally, the whole body of salt water which covers nearly three fourths of the surface of the globe The average depth of the ocean is estimated to be about 13,000 feet (3,960 meters); the greatest reported depth is 34,218 feet (10,430 meters), north of Mindanao in the Western Pacific Ocean The ocean bottom is a generally level or gently undulating plain, covered with a fine red or gray clay, or, in certain regions, with ooze of organic origin The water, whose composition is fairly constant, contains on the average 3 percent of dissolved salts; of this solid portion, common salt forms about 78 percent, magnesium salts 15-16 percent, calcium salts 4 percent, with smaller amounts of various other substances The density of ocean water is about 1 026 (relative to distilled water, or pure H2O) The oceans are divided into the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic Oceans

Acronym for Ocean Colour European Archive Network, a project of CEC and ESA established in 1990 The aim of the project was to generate a data base of CZCS data for the European seas and to set up the scientific tools needed for its exploitation OCEAN processed about 25,500 CZCS images at various levels in its five years of activity and generated an archive of about 400 GB of data from this processing Some of the processed images are available online [http: //me-www jrc it/OCEAN/ocean html]
emphasis If you say that something is a drop in the ocean, you mean that it is a very small amount which is unimportant compared to the cost of other things or is so small that it has very little effect on something. His fee is a drop in the ocean compared with the real cost of broadcasting. Large, continuous body of salt water. Ocean covers nearly 71% of the Earth's surface and is divided into major oceans and smaller seas. The three principal oceans, the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian, are largely delimited by land and submarine topographic boundaries. All are connected to what is sometimes called the Southern Ocean, the waters encircling Antarctica. Important marginal seas, primarily in the Northern Hemisphere, are partially enclosed by landmasses or island arcs. The largest are the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas, Caribbean and adjacent waters, Mediterranean, Bering Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, Yellow and China Seas, and Sea of Japan. ocean perch Arctic Ocean Atlantic Ocean Indian Ocean ocean current ocean liner Pacific Ocean
emphasis If you say that there is an ocean of something, you are emphasizing that there is a very large amount of it. I had cried oceans of tears APEC seems be drowning in an ocean of jargon
The salt water surrounding the great land masses The land masses divide the ocean into several distinct portions, each of which also is called an ocean The oceans include the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean
The salt water surrounding the great land masses, and divided by the land masses into several distinct portions, each of which is called an ocean The five oceans of the world are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic
