Question

Which is the deepest ocean in the world?
A. Arctic Ocean
B. Atlantic Ocean
C. Pacific Ocean
D. Indian Ocean

Answer 1

Hint: A body of water that composes much of the earth's hydrosphere is called an ocean. One of the major conventional divisions of the World Ocean on Earth is an ocean. Arranging the oceans in descending order of area is as follows: The Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern Antarctic, and Arctic Oceans.

Complete answer:
With an average depth of 14,020 ft or 4,820 m, the deepest ocean in the world is the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean has the deepest point in the world other than being the overall deepest ocean in the world. The Mariana Trench is the deepest point on the planet and it is at nearly 35,797 ft or 11,000 m deep. The Pacific Ocean also holds the record of being the largest ocean by surface area covering approximately 165,250,000 sq km or 63,800,000 square miles of the total surface area, i.e. comprising a total of 46 percent of earth’s water surfaces. If all of the earth’s land is combined then too the area will be larger than the earth’s land.
Northern Pacific and the Southern Pacific are the two portions of the Pacific Ocean. The equator is responsible for dividing the Pacific Ocean into two portions. Australia and Asia are separated from the Americas by this ocean. It stretches in the north from the Arctic region to the Antarctic in the south. A number of seas lie along the western margin of the Pacific. These include the East Sea, East China, Philippine Sea, Sulu Sea, Tasman Sea, and the South China Sea.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note: The Strait of Malacca and Torres Strait interconnect to the west the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The Drake Passage and the Strait of Magellan join the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean on the east. The Bering Strait links the Pacific Ocean to the Arctic Ocean on the northern side.
