A large body of [[water|water]] on the Earth's surface. Unlike the bodies of water on the inside of a landmass (lakes, ponds, etc.) the water in the ocean has higher salinity. There's usually a [[beach]] near the coastline of a landmass.

Despite covering over 70% of the planet, the oceans are one of the least explored areas on Earth, approximately around 95% remains uncharted.

Sometimes one can see the [[horizon]] if they look far enough.

Contains a huge amount of aquatic plants and [[animal]]s (see "Aquatic life" section of [[List Of Animals]]).
