Is the purple saxifrage in the arctic ocean?
The purple saxifrage (or Saxifraga Oppositifolia) is found in mountainous regions of the Arctic, but never in the Arctic Ocean. It prefers to grow in high altitudes, and dislikes warm climates. The Arctic environment is ideal for the purple saxifrage.
What is the ocean that is between North America and Europe?
Eastern North America and Western Europe are separated by the Atlanic Ocean. Northern Europe and the northern part of North America are separated by the Arctic Ocean.
The five oceans are the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern, and Arctic oceans.
The original four oceans are the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic. The Southern or Antarctic ocean (most countries have said they prefer the former) is the new fifth ocean. Biologists first started to consider a fifth ocean in 2000 when they began to notice differences in certain currents' cycles.

How cold was the Arctic Ocean when Titanic sunk?
The Titanic sank in the North Atlantic, not in the Arctic Ocean.
What state borders the Arctic Ocean as well as the pacific ocean?
It is Alaska.
The Arctic Ocean is the body of saltwater that surrounds the northern polar ice cap. The only US state to border the Arctic Ocean is Alaska.
How much bigger is the pacific ocean than the Arctic Ocean?
The Arctic Ocean would fit into the Pacific Ocean about 12 times.
The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world at 179.7 million square kilometres (69.4 million sq mi).
The Arctic Ocean is the fifth largest (and smallest) ocean in the world at 14,056,000 sq km (5,427,000 sq mi).
Is the arctic ocean the smallest ocean of the world?
The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world at 155,557,000 sq km. Its deepest point is the Mariana Trench (Challenger Deep) at 11,033 metres. The Arctic Ocean is the fifth largest ocean in the world at 14,056,000 sq km. Its deepest point is the Fram Basin at 4,665 metres.
Is the continent of South America or Africa closer to the Arctic Ocean?
Africa
Africa would be closer to the Arctic Ocean.
Why salinity is very low in the Arctic ocean?
because of the low evaporation, more inflow of the river waters and fresh water release from melting icebergs
What is the Arctic Oceans deepest depth?
The average depth of the Arctic Ocean is 1,038 m (3,410 ft). The deepest point is in the Eurasian Basin, at 5,450 m (17,900 ft).
Deepest Point in the Arctic Ocean
Eurasia Basin: 17,881 feet / 5450 meters
Why do Northern polar ice cap floats on top of the Arctic Ocean?
Ice has a smaller density than water therefore it can float on water instead of sinking to the bottom. Unlike the south pole there is no land mass to support the ice. The only thing that makes up th noth polar ice cap is ice.
How long can a human survive in the Arctic Ocean?
Antarctica is the highest, driest, coldest, windiest, coldest, darkest continent on earth.
Without proper extreme cold weather gear, a human can freeze to death in less than one hour.
It is recommended that a human drink two liters of water daily, to keep up with the extreme dryness in the Antarctic atmosphere.
The human body may require up to 3,000 calories per day to survive and remain warm in this extreme climate. More if strenuous activity is performed.
Death is a real danger in Antarctica. Without the appropriate gear, food and water, death would come rather quickly.
What is the Absolute location of the Arctic Ocean?
The position of the Arctic Circle is not fixed. It directly depends on the Earth's axial tilt, which fluctuates within a margin of 2° over a 40,000-year period, notably due to tidal forces resulting from the orbit of the Moon. The Arctic Circle is currently drifting northwards at a speed of about 15 m (49 ft) per year. The approximate current location of the Arctic Circle is 66.5622 degrees north.
