Answers
While there is only one global ocean, the vast body of water that covers 71 percent of the Earth, historically, there are 4 named ocean basins: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic. However, most countries - including the US - now recognize the Southern (Antarctic) as the fifth ocean basin.
