Answer:
At the South Pole, Antarctica is primarily a frozen continent. The Arctic Ocean is the smallest, shallowest, and coldest part of the ocean.
Explanation:
- According to the International Hydrographic Organization, the Southern Ocean is made up of 17 subdivisions.
- The Southern Ocean, commonly known as the Antarctic Ocean, is a body of saltwater that covers about a sixteenth of the Earth's total ocean area. The Southern Ocean encompasses the parts of the world ocean south of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans, as well as the tributary seas that surround Antarctica below 60 degrees South.
- The Southern Ocean is the world's fourth-largest ocean, after the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, but it is much larger than the Arctic Ocean, with an area of around 7.8 million square miles.
- Because of its proximity to the south pole, the Southern Ocean has some of the most extreme weather, with sea temperatures hovering barely above freezing, ranging from minus (-) 2 to 10 degrees Celsius.
- Deep waters cover the vast bulk of the Southern Ocean, with only a few places of shallow water.
