Oceans the name is enough to bear thrill under the skin. Ocean still wrapped in mystery that attracts people of all sorts including artist towards itself.The artwork looks fabulous on all products and suits for all occasions and recommended to all ages and group.Here is a piece of vital information about oceans that we all should know. The ocean (also the sea or the world ocean) is the body of salt water which covers approximately 71% of the surface of the Earth.It is also "any of the large bodies of water into which the great ocean is divided".A common definition lists five oceans, in descending order by area, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern (Antarctic), and Arctic Oceans. Seawater covers approximately 361,000,000 km2 (139,000,000 sq mi) and is customarily divided into several principal oceans and smaller seas, with the ocean as a whole covering approximately 71% of Earth's surface and 90% of the Earth's biosphere. The world ocean contains 97% of Earth's water, and oceanographers have stated that less than 20% of the oceans have been mapped. The total volume is approximately 1.35 billion cubic kilometres (320 million cu mi) with an average depth of nearly 3,700 metres (12,100 ft). As the world's ocean is the principal component of Earth's hydrosphere, it is integral to life, forms part of the carbon cycle, and influences climate and weather patterns. The ocean is the habitat of 230,000 known species, but because much of it is unexplored, the number of species in the ocean is much larger, possibly over two million. The origin of Earth's oceans is unknown; a sizable quantity of water would have been in the material that formed the Earth.Water molecules would have escaped Earth's gravity more easily when it was less massive during its formation due to atmospheric escape. Oceans are thought to have formed in the Hadean eon and may have been the cause for the emergence of life. There are numerous environmental issues for oceans which include for example marine pollution, overfishing, ocean acidification and other effects of climate change on oceans.
