The smallest of the four oceans.

The Arctic Ocean is the smallest ocean area in the world.

The global ocean can be divided into five oceans, including the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Antarctic Ocean and the smallest ocean-the Arctic Ocean.

The Arctic Ocean, with a total area of only14.056 million square kilometers. According to the statistics of scientists, the Arctic Ocean covers an area of about 450,000 square kilometers, with an average depth of 1.205 meters. Compared with the other four oceans, the Arctic Ocean is less than one third of the total area of the other four oceans, making it the smallest ocean on the earth's surface.

The Arctic Ocean, also known as the Arctic Ocean and the Ice Water Ocean, is one of the four oceans of the earth and the smallest, shallowest and coldest ocean in the world. Roughly centered on the Arctic Circle, it is located at the northernmost part of the earth, surrounded by Canada, Alaska, Russia, Norway, Iceland and Greenland, and there is a narrow Bering Strait communicating with the Pacific Ocean. It is connected with the Atlantic Ocean through the Greenland Sea and many straits.

The Arctic Ocean is the longest ocean in the world and the only uninhabited ocean in the world. The area is only 654.38+047.5 thousand square kilometers, less than 654.38+00% of the Pacific Ocean. Its depth is1097m, and its deepest point is 5527m. Ancient Greece once called it "the ocean facing Ursa major".

1845, named after the Geographical Society of Budapest, Hungary, translated into Arctic Ocean in Chinese. Mbth Arctic comes from Greek, which means the ocean facing Ursa major. The Arctic Ocean was formed in the process of orogeny, plate drift and Paleogene shallow sea development. It is located in the arctic region, extending outward from the north pole, extending to the surrounding islands, and included in the circumferential line.

The boundary of the Arctic Ocean is vague, but generally speaking, the boundary between the Arctic Ocean and other major oceans can be considered as a narrow zone, including Josephine Islands in France and the southwest of Iceland. The climate in the Arctic Ocean is extremely harsh. Due to the continuous melting of the Arctic ice sheet in this region, the Arctic Ocean has become one of the most obvious areas of global warming.

The feedback effect brought by greenhouse gases in the Arctic and the disappearance of ice sheets will lead to extreme weather changes such as global warming and climate precipitation. Although the Arctic Ocean is the smallest of the five oceans in the world, it has an important position and far-reaching influence in global climate, resources, animal and plant ecology and so on. For us, we should pay more attention to and protect this special sea area.
