The five Oceans are the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean.The seven continents are Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North America, South America and Antarctica.the percentage of Earth is covered in water is 71%.

Seas

The main difference between seas and oceans is that Oceans are bigger and usually beside land.The Caspian sea is actually a lake. The dead sea is so salty that you will float with out trying to!
