Which of earth's oceans holds the most water?
Borders of the oceans Ocean (excluding the seas it contains) as follows: The 3rd edition, currently in force, of the International Hydrographic Organization's (IHO) "Limits of Oceans and Seas" defines the limits of the South Pacific Ocean (excluding the seas it contains) as follows: Note that these definitions exclude any marginal waterbodies that are separately defined by the IHO (such as the Gulf of Alaska and Coral Sea), though these are usually considered to be part of the Pacific Ocean. In its 2002 draft, the IHO redefined the Pacific Ocean, moving its southern limit to 60°S, with the waters south of that line identified
Water distribution on Earth Water distribution on Earth Water is distributed across earth. Most water in the Earth's atmosphere and crust comes from the world ocean's saline seawater, while freshwater accounts for only 2.5% of the total. Because the oceans that cover roughly 78% of the area of the Earth reflect blue light, the Earth appears blue from space, and is often referred to as the "blue planet" and the "Pale Blue Dot". An estimated 1.5 to 11 times the amount of water in the oceans may be found hundreds of miles deep within the Earth's interior, although not in liquid form. The oceanic
