Did you know that some parts of the Arabian sea have "Dead zones". These dead zones have little to no oxygen (which is unusually extreme) so not many marine creatures can survive there.

Wow Factor

The "wow factor" of the Gulf of Gorgan is its status as the largest gulf in the Caspian Sea, a vital ecosystem designated as a Ramsar site, and its historical significance with its unique biodiversity, including migratory birds and fish species. It is a large, ecologically important wetland separated from the Caspian Sea by the Miankaleh and Ashuradeh peninsulas.

Wow Factor

The "wow factor" of the Tyuleny Archipelago is its incredible concentration of wildlife, particularly the massive breeding rookeries of northern fur seals and Steller sea lions on Tyuleny Island (Sea of Okhotsk), and large colonies of various birds, including common guillemots and other species. The sheer number of animals—from the massive fur seal colonies to the hundreds of thousands of guillemots packed onto cliffs and plateau—is astonishing, creating an overwhelming sensory experience of noise and smell.

The Puerto Rico Trench is the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, reaching a depth of about 8,376 meters (27,480 feet). 🌊 It lies north of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, where the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate meet. This trench is known for its strong earthquakes and steep underwater slopes. Scientists study it to understand plate movements and deep-sea ecosystems found in extreme pressure and darkness.

The Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest ocean, covering about one-fifth of Earth’s surface. It lies between the Americas, Europe, and Africa. Known for the warm Gulf Stream and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, it influences climate and supports rich marine life. The Titanic sank here in 1912, and its name comes from the Greek god Atlas.It separates the Americas from Europe and Africa and is crossed by many important trade routes. The ocean is known for powerful hurricanes, rich marine life, and deep trenches.

About 5.9 million years ago, the Mediterranean Sea nearly disappeared during an event called the Messinian Salinity Crisis. Due to tectonic movements, the connection between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar was cut off, causing the sea to almost completely dry up. Over thousands of years, the basin became a vast salt desert, with massive salt deposits forming beneath the surface.

Then, around 5.3 million years ago, the Atlantic Ocean broke through the barrier again in a dramatic event known as the Zanclean Flood. This flood refilled the Mediterranean basin in a relatively short geological time, possibly just a few months or years. The incoming water likely created enormous waterfalls—much taller than Niagara Falls—reshaping the landscape and restoring the Mediterranean Sea to what we know today.

The Arabian Sea is not only one of the most historically significant bodies of water—linking ancient trade routes between the Middle East, India, and Africa—but it also holds a striking natural phenomenon: it contains one of the world’s largest marine "dead zones." Covering an area nearly the size of Scotland, this massive region in the Gulf of Oman has such low oxygen levels that most marine life cannot survive there. Scientists believe this is caused by rising sea temperatures and pollution, making it a dramatic example of how climate change is silently transforming even the most remote parts of our oceans.

The Caspian Sea is the world’s largest enclosed inland body of water, even bigger than countries like Germany. Despite being called a “sea,” it’s actually more like a giant lake surrounded by land.

During storms, the Caspian can produce waves as high as 6 meters (about 20 feet), showing it behaves a lot like a real ocean with rough waters.

Beneath its surface lie huge oil and natural gas reserves, making the Caspian region extremely important for energy production and the economies of the countries around it.

The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's five oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean, or, depending on the definition, to Antarctica in the south, and is bounded by the continents of Asia and Australia in the west and the Americas in the east.

The Mediterranean Sea is unique because it has very low tides compared to oceans.

The Southern Ocean is the only ocean to completely circle the globe, flowing around Antarctica without being interrupted by other continents. This unique circumpolar current isolates Antarctica and is a major driver of global climate regulation by circulating cold, nutrient-rich water throughout the world's oceans.

A global water loop: The Southern Ocean's current is the longest and strongest on Earth, circulating water in a continuous loop around the entire planet.

Climate control: It helps regulate the global climate by absorbing heat and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and driving the global oceanic circulation system.

The Arabian Sea Has the World’s Largest Oxygen Minimum Zone!

Beneath the surface of the Arabian Sea lies a massive region with extremely low oxygen levels, the largest of its kind on Earth! Because of weak water circulation and high organic activity, oxygen gets used up faster than it can be replaced. This makes survival challenging for most marine species, except for some special microorganisms that have adapted to live in such harsh conditions.

Scientists are studying this unique zone to understand how climate change and ocean currents affect oxygen levels and marine life across the world.

Mid Atlantic Ridge in the Atlantic Ocean is the world's longest mountain range on earth- and most of it is underwater!

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge stretches for about 16,000 kilometers running right down the center of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s longer than the Andes, Rockies, and Himalayas combined but 90% of it lies beneath the ocean surface. The ridge is a divergent plate boundary, where the Eurasian and North American plates and the African and South American plates are slowly moving apart!

Coral islands are the only type of islands formed entirely by living organisms! 🪸
Unlike volcanic or continental islands, coral islands grow when tiny coral polyps build massive reefs over thousands of years. Eventually, these reefs rise above the ocean’s surface, creating stunning tropical islands like the Maldives and parts of the Bahamas.
