Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which one of the following water bodies is not an ocean?

Answer: Mediterranean

The five oceans of the earth are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and the Arctic Ocean. They have been written down in order of their size.

The Southern Ocean came into existence in the year 2000, when the International Hydrographic Organisation delineated a new ocean - the Southern Ocean - and extended it to the 60 degrees South latitude.
2. The Pacific Ocean is the largest in the world.

Answer: True

The ocean was named "Pacific Ocean" by the circumnavigator, Ferdinand Magellan. It is believed by geologists that the Pacific Ocean was formed about 250-300 million years ago when Gondwanaland and Laurasia broke up in the north. It is also the deepest ocean of the world.
3. What does the name "Pacific Ocean" mean?

Answer: Peaceful ocean

Although the name means "Peaceful ocean", or "Calm ocean" it has proved to be far from being either. Most of the islands of the Pacific Ocean are of volcanic origin and it is beset by typhoons and hurricanes; and let's not forget about the tsunamis in the Pacific waters of Japan.
4. In which ocean can we find the Bermuda Triangle?

Answer: Atlantic Ocean

The Atlantic Ocean, on average, occupies about one-sixth of the whole area of the world. It is narrowest in the north as it is enclosed by Greenland and Iceland.

The Bermuda Triangle is also referred to as the Devil's Triangle. It has no set boundaries, but it can be found in the North Atlantic Ocean.
5. The Indian Ocean was created when an asteroid fell from the sky.

Answer: False

The shore of the Indian Ocean contains some of the most ancient plateaus of the world-Africa, Arabia, Deccan and Australia. The fold mountains of Myanmar are to its north-east. It contains continental islands such as Sri Lanka and Madagascar. Islands of volcanic origin like Seychelles are also present.
6. In which ocean can we find the "Ring of Fire"?

Answer: Pacific Ocean

The Pacific "Ring of Fire" is so named as it contains nearly 80% of the active volcanoes of the world. Those volcanoes occur along the margins of the Pacific Ocean. Some of the most famous volcanoes of this belt includes Mt. Fujiyama in Japan, Mt. Mayon in the Philippines and Mt. Krakatoa in Indonesia.
7. Which ocean is the youngest among all the five oceans?

Answer: Southern Ocean

The Southern Ocean was formed about 30 million years ago. The separation of the two continents, Antarctica and South America opened up the Drake Passage and led to the formation of the Southern Ocean. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current was also formed due to the separation of the continents.
8. Which ocean is the shallowest in the world? (Hey, I was getting tired of "deep" questions).

Answer: Arctic Ocean

The Arctic Ocean is both the smallest and shallowest ocean of the world. It is generally considered that the Beaufort Sea, Kara Sea, Barents Sea, Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait and Baffin Bay is included in the Arctic Ocean. The Bering Strait connects it to the Pacific Ocean and the Greenland Sea and Labrador Sea connects it to the Atlantic Ocean.
9. The name of which ocean is related to a Titan of the Greek mythology, who was punished to hold the weight of the sky?

Answer: Atlantic Ocean

The name of the Titan is Atlas, the Titan of astronomy and navigation. The Atlas mountains in Africa bear his name. He holds up Uranus (the primordial of sky) so that it can not re-bond with Gaia (the primordial of earth). His daughters, the Hesperides, took care of the golden apples of immortality that grew in the garden of Hera (queen of the gods).
10. What is the study of oceans known as?

Answer: Oceanography

Oceanography is the branch of Earth science that deals with the studies of oceans. It includes the study of plate tectonics, ocean currents, the working of tides and life cycles of marine organisms like plankton. It is also alternatively known as oceanology or marine science.
