地球上第二大洋。位于欧洲、非洲与南、北美洲和南极洲之间。北以冰岛-法罗岛海丘和威维尔-汤姆森海岭与北冰洋分界，南临南极洲并与太平洋、印度洋南部水域相通；西南以通过南美洲最南端合恩角的经线同太平洋分界，东南以通过南非厄加勒斯角的经线同印度洋分界；西部通过南、北美洲之间的巴拿马运河与太平洋沟通，东部经欧洲和非洲之间的直布罗陀海峡通过地中海，以及亚洲和非洲之间的苏伊士运河与印度洋的附属海红海沟通。大西洋的赤道区域，宽度最窄，最短距离仅约2400多千米。世界五大洋之一。 [2] 大西洋的面积，连同其附属海和南大洋部分水域在内（不计岛屿），约9165.5万平方千米，平均深度为3597米，最深处位于波多黎各海沟内，为9218米。 大西洋东西两侧岸线大体是平行的。南部岸线平直，内海、海湾较少；北部岸线曲折，沿岸岛屿众多，海湾、内海、边缘海较多。岛屿和群岛主要分布于大陆边缘，多为大陆岛。开阔洋面上的岛屿很少。主要的岛屿和群岛有大不列颠岛、爱尔兰岛、冰岛、纽芬兰岛、古巴岛、伊斯帕尼奥拉岛及加勒比海——地中海中的许多群岛，格陵兰岛也有一小部分位于大西洋。在几个大洋中，大西洋入海河流流域面积最广，流域面积达4742.3万平方千米。主要河流有圣劳伦斯河、密西西比河、奥里诺科河、亚马孙河、巴拉那河、刚果河（扎伊尔河）、尼日尔河、卢瓦尔河、莱茵河、易北河以及注入地中海的尼罗河等。 图片压缩测试，原图 390KB

太平洋(Pacific Ocean)是世界上最大、最深、边缘海和岛屿最多的大洋。它位于亚洲、大洋洲、南极洲和南北美洲之间。南北最长约15900千米，东西最宽约19000千米，总面积为18134.4万平方公里，平均深度3957米，最大深度11034米。 太平洋一词最早出现于16世纪20年代，由大航海家麦哲伦及其船队首先命名的。1519年9月20日，航海家麦哲伦率领270名水手组成的探险队从西班牙启航，西渡大西洋，他们顶着惊涛骇浪，吃尽了苦头，到达了南美洲的南端，进入了一个海峡。这个后来以麦哲伦命名的海峡更为险恶，到处是狂风巨浪和险礁暗滩。又经过38天的艰苦奋战，船队终于到达了麦哲伦海峡的西端，然而此时船队仅剩下三条船了，队员也损失了一半。 又经过3个月艰苦航行，船队从南美越过关岛，来到菲律宾群岛。这段航程再也没有遇到一次风浪，海面十分平静，原来船队已经进入赤道无风带。饱受了先前滔天巨浪之苦的船员高兴地说：“这真是个太平洋啊！”从此，人们把美洲、亚洲、大洋洲之间的这片大洋称为“太平洋”。
