The World Ocean Map shows the location of the world's major oceans and seas together with a representation of the ocean floor.

The world's oceans and seas together cover nearly 71% of the earth's surface. Since the oceans are a continuous body of water on the Earth's surface, it is not possible to have clearly demarcated borders between one ocean and another or any other adjacent water body for that matter. Nevertheless, for the convenience of oceanographers and for other practical purposes, it is generally recognized that the huge body of salt water on the Earth's surface is divided into three major oceans – the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean.

The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean of the world. In terms of size, next comes the Atlantic Ocean; followed by the Indian Ocean; followed by Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. The world ocean floor map has details of all major oceans on earth. Some oceanographers denote the Oceanic area around Antarctica to be the Southern Ocean. The Southern Ocean was officially recognized by the International Hydrographic Organization in the spring of 2000.

All the major seas such as Andaman Sea, Arabian Sea, Baltic Sea, Bering Sea, Black Sea, Caribbean Sea, East China Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Hudson Bay, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Sea of Japan, Sea of Okhotsk and South China Sea and others have been clearly marked in this map.
