PARTS OF THE SEA.

There is three times more water than land on the earth's surface.

An O'-cean is one of the larg-est por-tions of salt water.* The water of the ocean is always salt, and it is therefore not good to drink.

These oceans are all really one piece of water, and there is nothing to tell where one begins and the other ends.

The British Islands are in the ATLANTIC Ocean.

The INDIAN Ocean is hot and often stormy. The ARCTIC and ANTARCTIC Oceans are very cold, and mostly covered with ice.

The PACIFIC Ocean is larger than all the land in the world.
