What country is the Pacific Ocean in?
Almost the entire Pacific Ocean is considered to be in International Waters. That means it is not part of any country. However, the Pacific Ocean does come in contact with the borders of many countries. And each country can declare a border limit that extends out into the ocean. This can range from a minimum of a few miles up to hundreds of miles.
Name the hemispheres in which the Pacific Ocean lies?
The Pacific Ocean is actually located in parts of all four of the hemispheres of Earth. The ocean reaches from Asia and Australia in the west to North and South America in the east. To the north the ocean reaches the Arctic and in the south it reaches the Southern Ocean.
What continent is bordered by the Indian ocean to the west and the pacific ocean to the east?
Australia is the continent that is bordered by the Indian Ocean to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east.
Continent between Indian and pacific ocean?
Two continents partially divide the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Australia as well as part of Asia come between the two.
The Indian Ocean is located between the Asia, Africa, Australia and the Southern Ocean with the following coordinates 20 00 S, 80 00 E. It is the third largest ocean.
What country lies between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean?
Indonesia lies between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It is an archipelago made up of thousands of islands, with the equator running through the country.
Do octopuses live in the Indian Ocean?
no, in the deep oceans of Tropical areas. Alternative answer: There are many different varieties of Octopus and they are found in most of the seas and oceans of the world, from the tropics to the polar regions and at all depths from coastal shallows to mid ocean.
When is the best time to go fishing in a river or lake?
Well it all depends. I line in Minnesota. The only time I dont fish is the period between "soft water fishing" and "ice fishing" and visa versa. The fishing can be "better" at different times of the year, but you can usually atleast catch a few fish on each trip. Prime times can be early spring when they are spawning, late fall, and early and late ice. It also epends on the species you are targeting. As far as actual "time" I prefer early morning, an hour before sunrise til 2-3 hours after can be great, as well as late evening, an hour before til a few hours after sunset are the main times I focus on depending on the species I am targeting. I use those methods when fishing for walleye and crappie. If I am pike or sunfish fishing I target tham all day long, as pike are roamers and sunfish are the easiest to find. Hope this answers some of your questions.
Why was the Indian Ocean trade important?
1. During the early days of Indian Ocean trade, the buying and selling of goods took place between the Swahili of East Africa and Arabs from Asia. Indian Ocean trade was made easy by the monsoon winds that circulated between Asia and the Eastern coast.

Who is ships were blown by a storm around southern tip of Africa into the Indian ocean?
Bartolomeu Dias. Portuguese explorer who in 1488 led the first expedition to sail around the southern tip of Africa from the Atlantic and sight the Indian Ocean. Vasco da Gama was the first to reach India ten years later.
As we know peninsula is a dry land covered by water on three sides. Pakistan is not at all a peninsula because water doesn't surround it on three sides. Arabian sea touches Pakistan on its southern side only. So, Pakistan is not a peninsula.
Where are the different Christmas Islands?

Also there is Kiritimati, which is also known as Christmas Island in the Pacific Ocean, and finally there is Christmas and Little Christmas Islands, part of the New Year Islands of Tasmania, which are in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
How much of the earth surface des the Indian Ocean cover?
The World Ocean, world ocean, or global ocean, is the interconnected system of the Earth's oceanic (or marine) waters, and comprises the bulk of the hydrosphere, covering almost 71% of the Earth's surface, with a total volume of 1.332 billion cubic kilometres.[1]
The unity and continuity of the World Ocean, with relatively free interchange among its parts, is of fundamental importance to oceanography.[2] It is divided into a number of principal oceanic areas that are delimited by the continents and various oceanographic features: these divisions are the Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean (rarely considered a sea of the Atlantic), Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Southern Ocean (typically reckoned instead as just the southern portions of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans). In turn, oceanic waters are interspersed by many smaller seas, gulfs, and bays.
A global ocean has existed in one form or another on Earth for eons, and the notion dates back to classical antiquity (in the form of Oceanus). The contemporary concept of the World Ocean was coined by the Russian oceanographer Yuly Shokalsky in the early 20th century to describe what is basically a solitary, continuous ocean that covers and encircles most of the Earth.
While continuous, the World Ocean can be visualized as being centered on the Southern Ocean. The Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans can be seen as bays or lobes extending northward from the Southern Ocean. Farther north, the Atlantic opens into the Arctic Ocean, which is connected to the Pacific by the Bering Strait:
- The Pacific Ocean, the largest of the oceans, also reaches northward from the Southern Ocean to the Arctic Ocean. It spans the gap between Australia, Asia, the Americas and Oceania. The Pacific Ocean meets the Atlantic south of South America at Cape Horn.
- The Atlantic Ocean, the second largest, extends from the Southern Ocean between South America, Africa, North America and Europe, to the Arctic Ocean. The Atlantic meets the Indian Ocean south of Africa at Cape Agulhas.
- The Indian Ocean extends northward from the Southern Ocean to India, between Africa and Australia. The Indian Ocean joins the Pacific Ocean to the east, near Australia.
- The Arctic Ocean is the smallest of the five. It joins the Atlantic near Greenland and Iceland and joins the Pacific at the Bering Strait. It overlies the North Pole, touching North America in the Western hemisphere and Scandinavia and Asia in the Eastern hemisphere. The Arctic Ocean is partially covered in sea ice, the extent of which varies according to the season. Some authorities[who?] do not consider the Arctic Ocean a bona fide ocean,[citation needed] because it is largely surrounded by land with only limited exchange of water with the other oceans. Consequently, it is considered to be a sea of the Atlantic, referred to[citation needed] as the Arctic Mediterranean Sea or Arctic Sea.
- The Southern Ocean is a proposed ocean surrounding Antarctica, dominated by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, generally the ocean south of sixty degrees south latitude. The Southern Ocean is partially covered in sea ice, the extent of which varies according to the season. The Southern Ocean is the second smallest of the five named oceans.
The approximate shape of the World Ocean can for most purposes be treated as constant, although in fact it is not: continental drift continually changes its structure
How did tectonic plate movement cause the Indian ocean tsunami?
Two plates, the Indian plate and the burma plate (a section of the eurasian plate), slipped, forcing the Indian plate underneath the burma plate, as the Indian plate had a thiner crust and less buoyancy (floatation) than the burma plate. This caused the burma plate to move upward pushing vast amounts of water up, causing the tsunami.
=P hope this helps - make sure u check somewhere else as well incase i am wrong
This depends a lot on the weather of where you are traveling to. You likely want to avoid any storm season or anytime when the weather will be too hot or too cold.
The Bay of Bengal stretches from the east coast of India to the Andaman Islands. Further east, it becomes the Andaman Sea until the tip of Sumatra, where the Straits of Malacca begins. So there is no one single body of water between the two coasts.
The Bay of Bengal. :)
Im Still Here :D
Who was the first to across the Indian Ocean?
The first Europeans to sail across the Indian Ocean were Portuguese led by Vasco da Gama. They were looking for an ocean route to the East, so as to cut out the middlemen in their trade with India and China.
Changjiang River is, China is in the east asia, and it will join the East Asia community.
