the oceans are named by explores .like the pacific ocean was named by vasco Nunez balboa.He named it that by thinking about pacifiers and how it soothes a baby,because the ocean was clam. That's how the oceans get named.
It flows into the Bay of Biscay, part of the Atlantic Ocean
A sudden or long-term heating of the water, causing overactive evaporation, with the right conditions, can cause a cycling movement in form of a storm(What a time to make a rhyme!) or worse, a hurricane. So down to earth, the cause of a storm in the Pacific ocean is most likely global warming or warm anomalies.
There are five such US States, choose three: Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington.
This was on my homework (: The spanish made it about 7584 miles (with boat obviously ) And continued to make settlements between 1600 and 1785 ! Your welcome (:
The Marianas trench is caused by the subduction of the western edge of, the Pacific tectonic plate beneath the eastern edge of the smaller Mariana Plate that lies to the west. Since the Pacific plate is the largest of all the tectonic plates on Earth, crustal material at its western edge has had a long time since formation (up to 170 million years) to compact and become very dense; hence its great height-difference relative to the higher-riding Mariana Plate, at the point where the Pacific Plate crust is subducted. This, in turn, results in a particularly deep trench.
There are so many different depth levels of the ocean, it is pretty much impossible to calculate the average depth unless every part of the ocean is measured.
Update: The average is 3,700 meters.
Wikipedia gives the average depth of the World Ocean (that's taking all the Oceans as one continuous body of water) as 3,790 metres (12,430 ft),

The Atlantic is getting bigger as the Eurasian and American plates move further away from each other.
The Pacific is getting smaller which can be seen most easily in San Francisco where the large amount of earthquakes are due to the pacific plate being pushed underneath the American plate.
To get to the other side!

Good, very original answer!
Unfortunately it begs another.
They went for a variety of reasons. Some merchants went to make a slightly more than modest amount of money, honest pay for honest work and risk. There were many who went for power and glory. Some claimed to go to do the work of God, and in a very few cases, I think this was quite true.
El nino is a climatic event that begins in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. This oceanic anomaly can effect temperature and weather worldwide.
El Salvador is the only Central American country to border the Pacific Ocean but not the Atlantic Ocean.

The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the world's five oceans (followed by the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Arctic Ocean). Strategically important access waterways include the La Perouse, Tsugaru, Tsushima, Taiwan, Singapore, and Torres Straits. The decision by the International Hydrographic Organization in the spring of 2000 to delimit a fifth ocean, the Southern Ocean, removed the portion of the Pacific Ocean south of 60 degrees south.

The first EUROPEAN to see the Pacific Ocean from the Americas was Balboa. Presumably the natives had noticed it once or twice before.
Ghana is bordered by the Ivory Coastin the west, Burkina Faso in the north, Togo in the east and the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic Ocean in the south.
