I learned this last year when my oldest had homework that included the Southern Ocean.

So I had to pretend like I was smart and knew that it was a thing.

The Southern Ocean is a load of Common Core bullshite. It’s just the bottom of the other ones.

The ocean is continuous. It is not divided (like the continents).

Therefore, there should only be one.


There's some interesting debate amongst geologists on that topic

Apparently the Caspian and Black Seas could be considered oceans because they meet the current hydrogeological definition.

Pluto isn’t a planet.
There’s only one Germany.
USSR is gone
And now the world has 5 oceans.

Guess it’s official. My set of 1979 World Book Encyclopedias are obsolete.

There used to be more, but the water in them ran off the edge

Growing up I was taught there was the Southern Ocean. I think it has been debated about it over the years. Anyway, I called out my kids teacher over it and started a big ordeal at the school, teachers and admin were fighting over it.

We were always taught that there were five. I believe the Southern Ocean was referred to as the Antarctic Ocean back in the day.

How can it be an ocean if it has a giant continent in the middle of it? Like boat said it's just the bottom of the 3 big ones. #notmyocean

The number of geography challenged people in this world amazes me.

At the very least, everyone should be able to look at a map and locate all 5 oceans and all 7 continents.
