It was about 4 billion years ago, that the Earths oceans formed
the earth can be organized into 4 oceans, 7 seas, and 7 continents

It was about 4 billion years ago, that the Earths oceans formed
Earths crust extend deeper below the continents than below the oceans basins (or at least this is what I think).
One third is surface and the rest is the sea.
because they formed first along with the layers inside the earth
Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and continents began to form around 4.6 billion years ago during the planet's early stages of formation. The atmosphere likely evolved from gases released during volcanic activity, while the oceans formed from water vapor that condensed as the Earth cooled. The continents began to form through the process of plate tectonics, with land masses emerging and colliding over millions of years.
The Atlantic Ocean was created by the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea. As Pangaea began to separate into the continents we know today, the Atlantic Ocean formed in between them through the process of seafloor spreading.
The Earth's surface has changed significantly over time due to processes such as plate tectonics, erosion, and volcanic activity. Continents have shifted positions, mountains have formed and eroded, and oceans have expanded and contracted. These changes have been ongoing for billions of years and continue to shape the Earth's surface today.
