The Royal Spanish Academy exposes the word ocean as a large and extended sea that covers most of the planet earth; This word is originally from the Greek "okeanos", this was the name that the Greeks gave to the great territory of water that surrounded the earth's surface.
The word ocean is also used to refer to the subdivisions of this body of water, which cover almost 71 percent of the land; These subdivisions are the Atlantic Ocean, whose name comes from the Greek God Atlas son of Neptune the God of the sea, the Pacific, name given by Núñez de Balboa because during his expeditions these waters were very peaceful, the Indian, his name was owes to India and Indonesia, the Arctic descends from the Greek word "Arthos" which means Bear since from these waters you can see the constellation of the Great Bear, and the Antarctic, bears that name in opposition to the Arctic. According to a scientific studyThe oceans did not form 4 billion years ago due to intense volcanic activity, but their origin dates from the collision of giant ice-wrapped asteroids that collided with Earth between 80 and 130 million years after the formation of the planet.
On the other hand, it is important to talk about oceanography, also called sea science, oceanology or marine science, this is the branch of science that aims to study the oceans and their bodies, in addition to their biological, physical, geological and chemicals. And in recent years this science has undergone great development, thanks to technological advances and the great interest of the current era on marine life and its resources. And finally the term is attributed to the immensity of some things, generally immaterial.
