Australia is down under,
Home of the KANGAROO!
Clap your hands for Asia!
It's the largest one.
Antarctica is covered in ice.
The PENGUINS sure have fun!
North America is where I live.
It's where I work and play.
In Europe you'll find England,
Where the queen rules every day.
South America is home to Brazil.
It's the largest country there.
The world has seven continents,
And I've just named them with care!

15. Arctic Ocean
The Arctic Ocean is located in the northern hemisphere and mostly in
the Arctic North Polar Region. It is the smallest of the world's five major
oceans and the shallowest. The Arctic Ocean is the northernmost ocean of
the all-encompassing World Ocean.
Almost completely surrounded by Eurasia and North America, the
Arctic Ocean is largely covered by sea ice throughout the year. The Arctic
Ocean's temperature and salinity vary seasonally as the ice cover melts and
freezes. Its salinity is the lowest on average of the four major oceans, due
to low evaporation, as well as limited outflow to surrounding waters with
heavy freshwater inflow. The summer shrinking of the icepack has been
quoted at 50%
The Arctic Ocean has an area of 14,090,000 sq km and an average
depth of 3,658 m off of the continental shelf. The Artic Ocean has the
widest continental shelf of all the oceans. The central part of the ocean is
permanently covered in about ten feet of ice.

• ¾ of the Earth is covered in
water
