Why is the Pacific Ocean called the Pacific Ocean ?

The term Pacific first appeared in the 20s of the 16th century, when it was first coined by the navigator Magellan and his fleet. On September 20, 1519, the Portuguese navigator Magellan led an expedition of 270 sailors from Seville, Spain, to the Atlantic Ocean to find a new route to India and China. After a short rest at Rio de Janeiro Bay in Brazil on 13 December, the fleet headed south, reaching the port of San Julian in March 1520.

After that, there was infighting in the fleet. With great effort, Magellan suppressed the Spanish fleet and launched a rebellion, and the fleet continued south. They braved the stormy seas and endured all the hardships until they reached the southern tip of South America and entered a strait.

The strait, which later became named after Magellan, was even more treacherous, full of strong winds and waves, and treacherous reefs and shoals. After another 38 days of hard fighting, the flotilla finally reached the western end of the Strait of Magellan, but by this time there were only three boats left in the flotilla, and half of the crew members had been lost.

After another 3 months of arduous sailing, the fleet crossed from South America to the Philippine Islands. There was not a single storm or storm during this voyage, the sea was very calm, and the fleet had entered the equatorial windless zone. The crew, who had suffered from the previous monstrous waves, said happily

It's a Pacific Ocean! Since then, the ocean between the Americas, Asia, and Oceania has been called the "Pacific Ocean".

The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean in the world, with an original area of 181.3 million square kilometers, and after the establishment of the Antarctic Ocean, the area was adjusted to 155.557 thousand square kilometers, with an average depth of 4,028 meters, and the deepest part of the Mariana Trench is 11,034 meters. From the north and south of the equator, it is divided into the North Pacific Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean. It stretches from the west coast of the Americas to the east coast of Asia and Australia.

It is also home to the largest number of islands, bays, trenches and volcanoes**.

The world's oceans are divided into five parts, namely the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Antarctic Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean. Now the Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean. However, the American and Asian continents are approaching at a rate of 1 2 centimeters per year.

So the Pacific Ocean is getting smaller, and the Atlantic Ocean is getting bigger.

The navigator Magellan led his team across the ocean when he encountered strong winds and waves at the southern tip of South America, and finally won after 38 days and nights of fighting. They sailed through a strait, and then there appeared an ocean in front of them, and they sailed in this ocean for 110 days without any difficulty, and everyone said it was the Pacific Ocean. Hence the name Pacific Ocean was born.

As the largest and deepest ocean among the four oceans, the Pacific Ocean has the largest and most complex marine environment. It was named after Magellan, who encountered a storm when he passed through the Drake Passage, which is known as the Devil's Throat, but after passing, the Pacific Ocean was calm and calm, and he sighed that it was really a peaceful ocean, hence the name. Although it is called Taiping, it is not known how terrifying the Pacific Ocean is.

1. The Pacific Ocean in film and television works.

In the movie, many terrifying creatures appear from the Pacific Ocean, among which the more representative ones are the "Pacific Rim" series, "Megalodon", etc., in these works, the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean is the entrance to the alien invasion of the earth, and the deep Pacific Ocean is also the habitat where ancient creatures lived and were born.

In these works, the alien invasion passage is more sci-fi and too far away from reality, and the habitat where ancient creatures survived is still a little possible. The reason is that it is in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, which is difficult to be disturbed by the outside world, and it is difficult to communicate with the outside world, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be ancient creatures living in the depths of the seabed, after all, it is difficult for us to go.

2. The deep sea of Pacific terror.

Many people may have one of the 10 bizarre phobias of the deep sea, but how many people have seen the real deep sea. The deepest part of the Pacific Ocean is more than 10,000 kilometers, a depth that is currently beyond human reach. According to scientists, there are no fish at the bottom of the sea for 8,000 kilometers, which can be said to be calm, calm and suffocating, a kind of calm full of oppression.

Why is the deep sea terrifying, because the water pressure in the deep sea is terrifying, and excessive water pressure can turn elephants into dust in microseconds. In such an environment, many scientists have also put forward speculations about deep-sea horror creatures, and the creatures that can survive in such an environment must also have terrifying bodies, so the deep-sea monsters in the movie may not be fabricated out of thin air, and may live in our environment in reality.

The deep sea is always full of mystery and danger, desirable and terrifying, and the horrors of the Pacific Ocean are not only the storms that may appear on the surface, but also the depths that may hide things that we do not know. Although the Pacific Ocean is called Taiping, we have no way of knowing how many unknowns are buried under this Taiping, so we can only explore it cautiously.

The name Pacific Ocean was chosen by the navigator Magellan, although this sea is stormy, but in the end it is still very calm, so it is called the Pacific Ocean.

Because before a fleet passed through this ocean in history, they experienced many violent storms and were very tired. When we arrived in the Pacific Ocean, the wind and waves were calm, so the ocean was named the Pacific Ocean.

The name Pacific Ocean is derived from the Latin word "mare pacificum", which means "calm sea", and was named by a Portuguese navigator employed by Spain, Magellan. In October 1520, Magellan led five ships from the Atlantic Ocean to find a southwest outlet (henceforth known as the Strait of Magellan) and sailed westward, arriving at a calm ocean after 38 days of rough seas, which he called the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the Pacific Ocean is not peaceful.

Because such a name is based on the famous navigator Magellan, who felt that the sea was calm longer than the rough sea.
