The ocean is the body of salt water that covers approx. 70.8% of Earth. In English, the term ocean also refers to any of the large bodies of water into which the world ocean is conventionally divided. Distinct names are used to identify five different areas of the ocean: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Antarctic/Southern, and Arctic.

The world ocean, or global ocean is used to describe all the world's oceans as one large interconnected ocean. It is not a generally agreed term. It is divided into the standard oceans: the Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and the proposed southern ocean around the Antarctic. The world ocean is mainly the southern oceans.
On average, the ocean floor is about 3,790m but there are ocean trenches as deep as 10,910m. The ocean has many biological zones determined by availability of different abiotic factors. Neritic zones are nearshore areas, including the intertidal zone. Oceanic zones are offshore regions of the ocean.
Today, the ocean is constantly being influenced by humans. The development of coastlines and overfishing are causing a significant loss in biodiversity. Pollution from runoff, oil spills, and plastic waste are killing species at an alarming rate.
