Why is there five different oceans if it is a single big water body?

280 views

First of all, i have tried finding answers on internet and too using google. But either everyone is talking about measuring sea levels and the acceptance of fifth ocean or i am not using correct keywords.

**My question is** if ocean is a single water body, then why it is divided into 5. What’s the basis of division? Does two different seas have difference in water? Because i have seen a photo some years ago about 2 Ocean meeting but not dissolving. Is that thing real?

Edit: THANKYOU ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR ANSWERS

This is like asking why the Yukon and South America are classified as different places even though they’re ‘connected.’

Yes they’re connected but geographically they are astoundingly different places. Different climates. Different animals. Different biomes. Different geography. Etc.

The ocean is the same way.
