Answer 1

The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world between the continents of America, Asia and Oceania.[1] The name Pacific was given by the Portuguese sailor Ferdinand Magellan, who sailed around the world on behalf of the Spanish kingdom. When Magellan passed through the Strait of Magellan, which he named after days of difficult and stormy conditions, and opened into this ocean, he gave this name based on the Portuguese word "Pacifico", which means "calm", because the storms subsided and calm waters welcomed him. It has a surface area of 179.7 million km². It has almost as much surface area as the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean combined. The deepest point is the Mariana Trench at 11,034 meters, which is also the deepest point on Earth. The most populous island is Tahiti. In addition, 90% of the earthquakes and 80% of the major earthquakes in the world occur in the Pacific region. This is because the Pacific Ocean is very deep. It has a volume of 708,000,000 km³ and the area it covers is slightly larger than the total area of land on Earth. In every part of the ocean deeper than 3,000-3,500 meters, the temperature is below 2 °C. There are approximately 20,000 islands of various sizes. However, only about 1% of the total surface area is land. Japan, Indonesia and New Guinea etc. It is surrounded by volcanic islands. These islands are called the "ring of fire".
