The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth's oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic in the north to the Southern Ocean in the south, bounded by Asia and Australia in the west, and the Americas in the east.

At 169.2 million square kilometres (63.8 million square miles) in area, this largest division of the World Ocean – and, in turn, the hydrosphere – covers about 46% of the Earth's water surface and about 30% of its total surface. The equator subdivides it into the North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean, with two exceptions: the Galápagos and Gilbert Islands, while straddling the equator, are deemed wholly within the South Pacific. The Mariana Trench in the western North Pacific is the deepest point in the Pacific and in the world, reaching a depth of 10,911 metres (35,797 ft).

The Pacific Ocean was sighted by Europeans early in the 16th century, first by the Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa who crossed the Isthmus of Panama in 1513 and named it Mar del Sur (South Sea). Its current name is however derived from the Luso-Latin macaronic Tepre Pacificum, "peaceful sea", bestowed upon it by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan.

The Pacific Ocean.

A. materials . . . . . . lots of gravel for roadbed, wooden ties, steel for the rail and bridges. Lots of dynamite or course. I am not aware of any new inventions, mostly a LOT of work using existing technology, including as you saw above, indentured type labor. Most of these immigrants were indeed treated very poorly but no less poorly than they were before they immigkrated so you have to take things into consideration I guess.

A. Game coverage starts at 6:00 PM Eastern (5:00 PM Central, 4:00 PM Mountain, 3:00 PM Pacific) on NBC. The kickoff is scheduled for 6:28 PM Eastern (5:28 PM Central, 4:28 PM Mountain, 3:28 PM Pacific); but, there are usually delays so it will probably be later.
