A continent can be called a very vast and far stretched area of land that is spread conventionally and is assumed to be a collective region. The seven continents present in the entire world are mentioned below
In the entire world, there are over 7 continents and a total of 5 oceans
All the 7 continents are namely as
- Antarctica
- Asia
- Australia
- Africa
- Europe
- South America
- North America
An ocean is indeed a continuous body containing saltwater covered inside a massive area on the surface of the Earth. Including a maximum depth of 3,688 meters, all main oceans, as well as their peripheral seas, as well as their peripheral seas encompass almost 71% of the Earth’s surface.
And the names of the 5 oceans present in the world are as follows
- The Indian Ocean
- The Pacific Ocean
- The Atlantic Ocean
- The Arctic Ocean
- The Southern Ocean
HOW TO MASTER THE OCEANS
There are 5 oceans in the world are one can remember all the names of the oceans using a very fun technique of acrostic by making a short acrostic that names the 5 oceans according to their size i.e., naming in the order of its size from largest to smallest and the abbreviation used for it is called paisa. where p stands for pacific, a stand for Atlantic, I stand for Indian, s stands for southern, and a stand for artic, and it is stated in the order of its size which is shown by the chart given below:
- P for Pacific and it covers about 165,250,000 square kilometers
- A stand for the Atlantic Ocean and it covers about 81760000 square kilometers
- I stand for the Indian ocean and it covers about 68556000 square kilometers
- S stands for the Southern Ocean and t covers about 20327000 square kilometers
- A stand for the Arctic Ocean and it covers about 14056000 square kilometers
UNDERSTANDING THE PLATE TECTONICS THEORY
Plate tectonics is a scientific term. Is the name of a hypothesis that helps to explain the genesis of key landforms as a result of the earth’s underground movement.
According to tectonic plates theory, the lithosphere, the earth’s outer layer mainly composed of the uppermost crust and mantle, becomes divided up into several relatively big stony plates. Those planks are located well above the top of the lithosphere, which is a liquified layer of rock. These plates move comparatively with each other at a different frequency, ranging from 2 to 15 millimeters per year, owing mostly to the mobility of the upper crust and continental surface. Multiple geological formations, like the Himalayas Mountain chain in Asia, the East African Rift, and the San Andreas Fault in California, are the result of continental plate collisions.
CONCLUSION
An acronym can be used to master the continent and oceans as it becomes easy to remember the abbreviation instead of remembering the entire word or likewise. We can try to make use of an acronym that is using the first letter of the word in the queue and to that seeing that we can get a reminder of a related word. As an example, to master the continent we can make use of the acrostic line which is eating an apple as a snack. Herein the word eats its first letter can help in the process of remembering the continent of Europe on the other hand the word “An” can be used to be a reminder for Antarctica and this way this method of remembering by the help of acrostic works. It can work as an effective tool while remembering the name of all seven continents.
