The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth's oceanic divisions. Its name is derived from the Latin name Tepre Pacificum, "peaceful sea", bestowed upon it by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan. 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 (65.3 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 (35,800 ft).

The Pacific Ocean.

what could you say to clarify the difference between Asian and pacific Islander ethnic groups?
Q. Why do you think some people have difficulty differentiating between various Asian American and Pacific Islander ethnic groups? What could you say to clarify the difference and distinguish between the two?
Asked by Borja70403 - Fri May 9 07:17:05 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They are somewhat lumped together. I think a lot of it is the dark hair that is consistant with the groups. Also, many of these cultures are island cultures. if people don't know the differences, it's hard to distinguish any --especially if they live far away from where those people do. It's just human nature. I suppose you could just educate people on the differences --one person at a time as they say. Hope this helps.
