Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1TC
To determine
The explanation for only one World Ocean despite the presence of Pacific and Atlantic Oceans or the Baltic and Mediterranean seas.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1TC
The one world ocean is divided into different oceans and seas for the easy accessibility. In real, there is only one big ocean.
Explanation of Solution
An ocean is defined as a vast body of saline water that occupies the depressions of the Earth’s surface. The oceans occupy about 97% of the total water of the biosphere. The oceans are divided into artificial compartments such as oceans and seas for the convenience and accessibility.
The division is made using the boundaries of continents and imaginary lines such as equator, latitudes, and longitudes. The Pacific and Atlantic Oceans or the Baltic and Mediterranean seas in real are only temporary features for the single large world ocean.

- Discussion Question: Essentials of Geography A+ Chapter 1 does a nice job introducing the Physical Earth Sciences with the traditional scientific methods and systems. However, Physical Geography exemplifies understanding spatial patterns. For example, we could research an area's cases of West Nile Virus using a table filled with location and number of deaths and it would be useful. However, an even better way to look at the information in order to search for an underlying pattern and an explanation would be to map the data. For the Chapter 1 Discussion, find a thematic map from your house, the Newspaper, the Internet, the textbook, or wherever you find one! Be sure to include the source such that any of us can get our hands on the same information/map. First DESCRIBE the patterns that you see. Then, INTERPRET the reasons for the pattern. For example,the figures above and below are maps with information plotted. Remember, descriptions are not arguable.
