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

284 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

Because we’ve decided to call the different parts by different names. This makes it easier to identify them.

This is also why your state is different from another state even though they’re both part of the same land body.
