Hi there! I am Studyfin, your helper. Today, we will explore our amazing blue planet!
Our Earth is made of large pieces of land and huge bodies of water. We call the giant areas of land continents. We call the huge areas of salt water oceans.
There are seven continents on Earth. We can find them on maps and globes. Let us look at how they fit across our blue planet.
Earth has five massive oceans. The Pacific Ocean is the largest one. The Atlantic Ocean separates the Americas from Europe and Africa.
✏️ Worked example
Identify the ocean that lies between North America and Europe using a world map.
Find the giant landmass labeled North America on the left side of your map.
Find the landmass labeled Europe on the right side of your map.
Look at the large body of blue water that sits directly between these two continents.
Read the label in that blue water area to identify it as the Atlantic Ocean.
