water bodies

1. major water bodies Geography

2. Introducton Water is the unique part of Earth It includes 71% of water and 29% of land. Because of this reason our earth is also known as blue planet. We may think that from where do water originate water originates from mountains .so water source Is mountain and it will be mixed with the rivers ,seas and oceans.which is known as mouth of the river. Do you know the watery part of the earth is known as Hydrosphere which includes ice sheets from polar regions and the high mountain region underground Water,Atmosphere and water vapour.

3. Water Cycle Water cycle also referred as hydrological cycle is simplified as the change of water from one form to another. In water cycle water continously moves from the surface of the earth Into the atmosphere and reverses again in different forms this is the formation of water cycle. They are overall 4 operations they are evaporation in the form of water vapour, condensation which is formed when the temparature falls in and the precipitation in the form of rain,snow,heel or sleet and the collection which collects the water droplets.

4. The Oceans What are oceans ocean is a large water body which contain fresh water Do you know they are 5 Major oceans they are Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean And Arctic Ocean. We will know About this oceans in the further slide.

5. Pacific Ocean Image of Pacific Ocean Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world.its name was given byFerdinand Magellan for its peace so he called it ‘Mar Pacifo’ It’s depth is 4,282 and its very large there is a range of volcanoes here which is known as ring of fire.mariana trench is the large spot in the earth surface which Is in pacific ocean.

6. The Atlantic Ocean

7. Atlantic Ocean Atlantic ocean is the second largest ocean a submerged mountain is in the middle of this range which is also known as mid range mountain. They are many ports and harbours along its coasts it is the busiest ocean in the world in terms of transpotation the Atlantic ocean Is also saltiest ocean and its saltinity is contributed by the process of evaporation,precipitation and melting and river in flow. This river is shaped in the letter ‘s’

8. Indian Ocean Indian Ocean Indian ocean is the 3 rd largest ocean in the world its name is given after its country name this river Is shaped in triangular shape. Its depth is 4,000 m Indian ocean includes 2 major water bodies Arabian sea and Bay of Bengal.

9. Southern Ocean

10. Southern Ocean Southern ocean is the 4 th largest ocean in the world is located near the south pole it is also called as Antarctic ocean It is completely located in the south hemisphere it remains frozen in the winters. This ocean encompasses an area of approximetly 35 million square kilometre The southernmost part in the southern ocean is mc murdo station which is an american based research base.

11. Arctic Ocean

12. Arctic Ocean Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest ocean it is located near the north pole and extends in the south up Most parts are remained covered with a thick sheet through out the year The arctic ocean is surrounded by 3 continents they are North America,Asia and Europe. It merges with the atlantic ocean between greenland and scandivania and is connected to the pacific ocean through the narrow bering strait.

13. Importance of Oceans Oceans are important because they give us maintain temperature,food,oil and gas and water etc… Ocean help to moderate the earth’s temperature by absorbing the incoming solar radiation. Oceans provide us source of food it has been estimated that as much as 10 percent of human protein intake comes from the oceans Do you know water takes 1000 years to travel all the way around the globe.
