Here is piece form an encyclopedia...\n\nThe Atlantic may be divided into two basins–North Atlantic Ocean and South Atlantic Ocean–each with a distinct circulation system. The clockwise-moving currents of the North Atlantic (North Equatorial Current, Antilles Current, Gulf Stream, North Atlantic Drift, Canaries Current) and the counterclockwise-moving currents of the South Atlantic (South Equatorial Current, Brazil Current, West Wind Drift, Benguela Current) are separated from each other by the Equatorial Counter Current; the Guinea Current off W Africa is a link between the two systems. At the Grand Banks off Newfoundland heavy fogs form along the front where the warm Gulf Stream meets the cold Labrador Current. The surface waters in the Atlantic's trade wind belts attain the highest salinity known in ocean water.

First, it's Tidal Wave not "title",and a Tsunami is another name for that type of "wave". Now, a Monsoon is the same as a Hurricane except they originate in the Pacific Ocean.\n\nTidal Wave, not the tide. Tidal Wave refers to waves larger than 30 feet. It used to be the common name for it, until most oceanographers began to agree the term was not being used correctly, as this occurence has nothing to do with tides.

The Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest ocean, covering approximately one-fifth of the earth's surface. The ocean's name, derived from Greek mythology, means the "Sea of Atlas." The oldest known mention of this name is contained in The Histories of Herodotus around 450 BC (I 202).

I think what you mean is, if we had to draw lines differentiating the different oceans and bodies of water, where would we draw these lines? \n\nUnfortunately, I dont think there is any real correct answer.\nThese boundaries are kind of ambiguous and flowing....just like the oceans themselvess! Oceans aren't like countries, which have set boundaries established by wars and treaties, etc. Oceans flow into each other and are all connected. The best we can do is approximate. \n\nGood question, though.

oceanology is one coarse you can take

i think u mean tectonic plate.  tectonic plates are the sections the outer layer of earth is divided into.  there is pressure between the plates, so they sometimes slip and slide and that's how we get earthquakes.  tectonic plates are different sizes.  some only carry one island while others can have a whole continent and part of an ocean!  as for what platonic plates are, i've never heard of them, so i'm sure you mean tectonic plate.

A gyre is any manner of swirling vortex. It is often used to describe wind or ocean currents, for example the North Pacific Gyre

Someone told me about this not so long ago...\n\nIts where the Sun reflects on the water or something for the sea\n\nand \n\nits green nearer the sand.. cus the sands yellow the seas blue so both colours mix together to make green\n\n(dont reli make sense)

Berlin, February 24th, 2004. An entire "island" composed of trash has been discovered in the Pacific Ocean. It is as large as the Central Europe.\n\nAccording to the German magazine "Geo", plastic objects prevail among the trash. The "island" weights approximately three million tons in its entirety. This is six times greater than a number of natural plankton.\n\nScientists claim that the "island", situated between California and Hawaiian islands, forms circular ocean currents which now accumulate wastes by the shores of Japan and the US and bring it to the center of the Ocean.

The Earth's oceans are all connected to one another. Until the year 2000, there were four recognized oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. In the Spring of 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization delimited a new ocean, the Southern Ocean (it surrounds Antarctica and extends to 60 degrees latitude). \nSee map with location in\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/ocean/

That's wrong.\n\n\nSea's are green because of algae.\n\nThe ocean is blue because water is blue, not because of the sky. Water is not just clear. Fill your bathrub with water and you'll even see a blue tint. The sky is blue because of the nitrogen in the air absorbs most colors except blue.\n\nThe difference in sea and ocean is simply depth. The green gains predominance and the frequency of algae in seas is much higher.

Quite simple, though not simple to explain.\n\nWind :- The Insolation (INcomming SOLar radiATION), from the sun (tortology - sp?, i know) warms up the ground ou ocean. These bodies radiate heat in the form of infra red radiation which in turn heats up the atmosphere. The hot air rises and as it does, cooler air flows across the surface to replace the air that rose. Ari flowing across the surface is wind.\n\nOcean currents opperate in a similar fashon.

Yup, definately oceans.
