As can be viewed in the
World outline map here, there are
seven principal oceans in the world including the North Pacific Ocean,
South Pacific Ocean, North Atlantic Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean and Arctic Ocean. A continent can roughly be defined as a large landmass separated from other landmasses by water bodies and an ocean can be defined as an immense saline water body adjoining major territorial regions of the world.
In the blank world
map, it can be observed that the oceans of the world cover approximately 71% of the total surface of the earth whereas the land constitutes only about 29% of the total surface of the earth.
The world map presented here provides an overview of the world along with all the water bodies and landmasses covering the surface of the earth. The oceans are presented as a continuous water body around the seven continents of the world and the continents are marked with international boundaries dividing various nations of the world. This
world outline map depicts a 2-dimensional view of the earth which is easier to study and comprehend as compared to a 3-dimensional representation.
