Answer:

The major oceans in the world are as follows:

1. The Atlantic Ocean

2. The Pacific Ocean

3. The Arctic Ocean

4. The Indian Ocean

5. The Southern Antarctic Ocean

These are actually not Oceans but sections of the earth's Oceans. Scientists refer to these as Ocean Basins. The fifth is an Ocean recognized only by the United States as well as a few other countries.

Hope this Helps!
