What are the 4 largest oceans of the world?
The Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and the Arctic Oceans.
For many years only (4) four oceans were officially recognized, and then in the spring of 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization established the Southern Ocean, and determined its limits. Those limits include all water below 60 degrees south, and some of it, like the Arctic Ocean, is frozen.so now there is 5
Was Vancouver Canada named after George Vancouver?
George Vancouver was 35 years old when he discovered Vancouver
i know this because i was looking for the same thing and found it on another website

As a native Vancouverite, the actual founding of Vancouver was sometime in the late 1800's. In the middle 1800's, there were two small settlements along Burrard Inlet, the body of water that borders Vancouver's north extremity: one was Granville, the other Hastings. They were both driven by the logging industry and ran their respective sawmills. By the mid 1880's the two communities became incorporated into the City of Vancouver. A horrific fire in 1886 destroyed virtually everything along the waterfront but with the arrival of Canada's first trans-continental railway in 1887(the CPR), lots were being sold to British immigrants. By 1910, there were nearly 100,000 people in the city. By 2000 Vancouver boasted a population of more than 750,000. Today, Greater Vancouver encompasses the cities of Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster, Surrey and Langley with a combined population of about 2 million.
What is the salinity of the Pacific ocean?
Salinity is the saltiness or dissolved salt content of a body of water. The average ocean salinity is 35 ppt. This number varies between about 32 and 37 ppt. Rainfall, evaporation, river runoff, and ice formation cause the variations. For example, the Black Sea is so diluted by river runoff, its average salinity is only 16 ppt. Freshwater salinity is usually less than 0.5 ppt. Water between 0.5 ppt and 17 ppt is called brackish. Estuaries, where fresh river water meets salty ocean water, are examples of brackish waters. Saline waters from inland seas can have a composition that differs from that of the ocean.
How many gallons of water are there in the oceans?
The United States Geologic Survey (USGS) estimates there to be 326,000,000 cubic miles of water on the planet. A cubic mile can hold a little more than 1.1 X 1012 gallons.
The USGS also estimates that 96.5% of that water is in the planets oceans.
96.5%
X (1,100,000,000,000 gallons per cubic mile)
X (326,000,000 cubic miles)
===============================
= 346,049,000,000,000,000,000 gallons.
Which Canadian Province is the only one bordered by the Pacific Ocean?
There are many Canadian Provinces. However, only one borders the Pacific Ocean: British Columbia. British Columbia, or BC, is the westernmost Canadian Province. It is the 3rd largest Province, occupying about 10% of Canada's land surface. It's Provincial flower is Pacific Dogwood. It is bounded by Yukon and Northwest Territories to the north, the panhandle of Alaska forms about half of the western boundary. British Colombia has over 27,000 kilometers of coastline. British Columbia is about the same size of France, Germany, and the Netherlands. It is one of the few places on this planet with a temperate rainforest. The Provincial Capitol is Victoria.
How many earthquakes occur around the 'ring of fire'?
The "ring of fire" comprises the seaboard costs of the countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean. The zone is where oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust and the location of many volcanoes and continual earthquake activity.
It is impossible to give you a count of the number of earthquakes that happen in the zone, earthquake activity is continuous.
Will California break off from US?
No.
The western portion of California is moving northwest and the eastern portion is moving southeast. They are "slipping" relative to one another along the separation line which is the San Andreas Fault. They are not moving apart, but sliding along the shared edge of the two tectonic plates that meet in California.
The adjectives are costal and Pacific states.
Costal describes drive.
Pacific states describes vacation.

What ocean is closest to Australia?
Australia is an island continent so it is surrounded by water. It is between the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean And the Southern Ocean. Each of these oceans touches Australia's shores.
What is the temperature of the bottom of the Indian ocean?
If you just want the answer: 4 degrees Celsius If you want a bit of physics: Water is weird, when it freezes it expands. Which means that ice is less dense than water, in other words, the molecules must get further apart. At the bottom of the ocean, heaps of pressure pushes the water molecules together, this means that the water is unable to freeze. As many people know, water freezes at 0 degrees celsius. Therefore the water at the bottom of the ocean has a temperature above 0 degrees celsius. To go even further - water is the most dense at approximately 4 degrees Celsius and if the most dense water sinks (which it does) then the water at the bottom of the ocean must be approximately 4 degrees celsius.
Why is the west coast prone to earthquakes?
This is because the west coast has the San Andreas fault line running through it, which is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area of intense seismic activity. This is where tectonic plates meet, and so are constantly moving, shifting or grinding against each other, which causes earthquakes.
What country in Atlantic south America does not have a coastline on the Atlantic?
Bolivia is close to the Atlantic, but has no seacoast because Chile blocks it.
Which is the larger the Pacific Ocean or the Indian ocean?
