1.The average depth is 4,028 metres, and the maximum depth is the Mariana Trench, which is 11,034 metres, the deepest point known to the world's oceans.
2.There are about 10,000 islands in the Pacific Ocean, with a total area of more than 4.4 million square kilometers, accounting for about 45 of the world's total island area. The mainland islands are mainly distributed in the west, such as the Japanese archipelago, Kalimantan, New Guinea, etc.; There are many scattered ocean islands (volcanic islands, coral islands) in the central part of the country.
3.About 85% of the world's active volcanoes and about 80% of the world's active volcanoes are concentrated in the Pacific Ocean. The American Cordillera on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean and the colorful islands on the western edge of the Pacific Ocean are the most volcanically active areas in the world, with more than 370 active volcanoes.
4.A large part of the Pacific Ocean is located in the tropics and subtropics, so the tropical and subtropical climates are dominant, and its climate distribution and regional differences are mainly due to the influence of water surface currents and atmospheric circulation over adjacent continents. The temperature decreases with increasing latitude.
The average temperature of the coldest month in the southern and northern Pacific Oceans is 20 16 from the Tropic of Capricorn to the polar regions, and the average temperature of the central Pacific Ocean remains around 25 all year round. The average annual precipitation in the Pacific Ocean is generally 1,000,2,000 mm, with rainfall areas reaching 3,000,5,000 mm, and the least precipitation occurring in areas of less than 100 mm. Sea fog is common north of 40°N and south of 40°S.
The average water surface temperature is 29 near the equator. There is ice formation on the surface of the sea near the Polar Circle. The Pacific Ocean is famous for its roaring winds and rough waves.
In the transition zone and westerly wind belt where cold and warm currents meet, there are many strong winds and waves, and winter is more common in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean, and more in summer in the south, especially in the south and around 40°N. The central part is calmer and is conducive to navigation all year round.
5.The Pacific Ocean is of great importance in international traffic. There are many important sea and air routes connecting Asia, Oceania, North America and South America through the Pacific Ocean; The Panama Canal in the east and the Strait of Malacca in the southwest are the shortcuts to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and the world's main shipping lanes, respectively.
The shipping routes mainly include East Asia-North America West Coast Route, East Asia-Caribbean, North America East Coast Route, East Asia-South America West Coast Route, East Asia Coastal Route, East Asia-Australia, New Zealand Route, Australia, New Zealand-North America East and West Coast Routes, etc.

The average depth of the sea is different, the density of the sea water is different, and the salt content of the sea water is different. There are differences in the species of marine life, and the climate distributed on the ocean is different. There are differences in the nature of ocean currents. The traffic routes on the ocean are different. The topography of the ocean floor is different from that of other oceans!

The Pacific Ocean does not belong to any one country, it is an international public sea.
The Pacific Ocean is located in Asia, Oceania.
Antarctica, along with North and South America, is the world's largest, deepest, and most marginal ocean with islands. The Pacific Ocean north to the Bering Strait.
65°44 north latitude, south to Antarctica, 85°33 south latitude, 151° across latitude. 78°08 east to west, 99°10 east to west, spanning 177 degrees of longitude. It is about 15,900 kilometers long from north to south, and about 19,900 kilometers wide from east to west.
Characteristics of the Pacific Ocean
The Pacific Ocean is the ocean with the most locust seas in the world, such as the Bering Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea of China, and the South China Sea.
Wait; The Pacific Ocean, with its volcanic belt along the Pacific Ocean, is the world's largest and volcano-prone area, with about 85% of the world's active volcanoes and about 80% of the world's volcanoes concentrated in the Pacific Ocean; The Pacific Ocean is home to the world's second largest island, New Guinea.

The Pacific Ocean is located in Asia; Between Oceania, Antarctica and North and South America. It is about 15,900 kilometers long from north to south, and the maximum width from east to west is about 19,900 kilometers, with an area of 179.68 million square kilometers. It accounts for 498% of the total area of the world's oceans and 35% of the total area of the earth.
The Pacific Ocean is the largest, deepest, and most island-dense of the four oceans on Earth.
The southwest of the Pacific Ocean is separated from the Indian Ocean by the meridian from the southeast corner of Tasmania to the Antarctic continent, the southeast is separated by the meridian through Cape Horn, the southernmost tip of South America, the Atlantic Ocean is connected by the Bering Strait in the north, the Atlantic Ocean is communicated by the Panama Canal and the Strait of Magellan and the Drake Strait in the east, and the Indian Ocean is connected to the Strait of Malacca and Sunda Strait in the west.

The Pacific Ocean is the ocean with the largest number of islands on the earth, with more than 20,000 large and small islands and an area of 4.4 million square kilometers, accounting for about 45 of the world's total island area. The central and southwestern parts of the body of water are the most islanded, with three major archipelagos: the Micronesian archipelago (meaning small island archipelago), the Melanesian archipelago (meaning the black archipelago), and the Polynesian archipelago (meaning the multi-island archipelago), which are numerous, small in size, and widely distributed. The Aleutian Islands, the Kuril Islands, the Japanese Islands, the Ryukyu Islands, and the Philippine Islands, which are located between the eastern margin of the Asian continent and the Pacific Ocean, are mostly in the shape of islands, extending more than 9,500 kilometers from north to south.
The Malay Archipelago, which stretches more than 4,500 kilometers from east to west between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, separates the western waters of the Pacific Ocean into nearly 20 marginal seas and dozens of straits and waterways connecting the two oceans. According to the structure of the islands, they can be divided into mainland islands, volcanic islands and coral islands (reefs): Sakhalin, Japanese archipelago, Taiwan Island, Malay Archipelago, New Guinea Island, South Island, North Island and Tasmania near the edge of the Asian continent and the Australian continent belong to the mainland islands; The Aleutian Islands, the Kuril Islands, the Ryukyu Islands, the Hawaiian Islands and other islands are mostly volcanic islands; The Caroline Islands, the Marshall Islands, the Tuamotu Islands and the Fiji Islands are mostly coral islands.

The Pacific Ocean is surrounded by Polynesia. The three major archipelagos of Micronesia and Melanesia can be divided into three categories: mainland islands, volcanic islands and coral islands.
The Pacific Islands are composed of more than 10,000 islands of different sizes, which can be divided into two categories: continental islands and ocean islands, and ocean islands can be divided into two types: volcanic islands and coral islands. Mainland islands are similar or connected with the mainland in terms of geological structure, generally located near the mainland, originally part of the continent, and later separated from the mainland due to crustal subsidence or sea level rise, such as Irian Island, New Zealand's South Island, North Island, etc. Such islands are generally larger in size and higher in terrain.
Volcanic islands are formed by the accumulation of volcanic eruptions on the ocean floor, mainly lava, such as the Hawaiian Islands in the Polynesian archipelago, which are still active today, and are characterized by high altitudes and steep terrain. Coral islands are islands formed by coral reefs outcropping out of the sea, or sand islands formed on coral reefs.
Most of the three archipelagos in the Pacific Ocean are coral islands, which are characterized by their small size, low terrain, and many ring-shaped shapes. In the middle is the lagoon, there is a gap to communicate with the ocean, the lake is calm and calm, is an excellent haven for ships. Coral reefs are formed by the accumulation of the remains of polyps.
The polyp is a coelenterate that lives in shallow tropical seas with an average water temperature of 25° 30 and high salt content and transparency, and after death the calcareous bones form limestone. At first, coral grows around the island to form a fringing reef, but as the island sinks, the coral reef continues to grow outward and upward, forming a barrier reef, and when the island continues to sink and submerge into the sea, the coral reef around the island grows upwards to form an atoll, and the top of the island is submerged by the sea to become a lagoon.

The volume including the sea is 714.41 million cubic kilometers, excluding the volume of the sea 10,000 cubic kilometers.
The average depth including the genus sea is meters, excluding the genus sea is meters, and the maximum known depth is 11,033 meters, which is located within the Mariana Trench. It is bounded by the Bering Strait, which is only 102 kilometers wide, and communicates with the Atlantic Ocean in the southeast through the Drake Strait between Tierra del Fuego in South America and Graham Land in Antarctica. The southwestern boundary with the Indian Ocean runs from Sumatra to Timor via Java, through the Timor Sea to Cape Londonderry in Australia, and from southern Australia through the Bass Strait from Tasmania to Antarctica. Due to the layout of the Earth's major mountain systems, the amount of water flowing into the Pacific Ocean accounts for only 1 7
