Task Overview:
You're given a world map with five numbered regions labeled (1 through 5), and you are asked to:
1. Identify the
ocean corresponding to each number.
2. Write down the name of each ocean.
3. Color the map accordingly (though coloring isn't possible here, we'll identify the correct names).

Step 1: Understand the Map
The map shows the
world's continents and
major oceans, with numbers placed in different oceanic areas:
- Number
1: On both sides of the map — located near the
eastern coast of Asia and
western coast of South America → This is the
Pacific Ocean.
- Number
2: Between North and South America and Africa → This is the
Atlantic Ocean.
- Number
3: Near the
Arctic region, north of Europe, Asia, and North America → This is the
Arctic Ocean.
- Number
4: Between Asia and Australia → This is the
Indian Ocean.
- Number
5: Surrounding Antarctica at the bottom → This is the
Southern Ocean.

Step 2: Match Numbers to Oceans
Now let’s assign the correct ocean names to each number:
| Number | Ocean Name |
|--------|--------------------|
| 1 | Pacific Ocean |
| 2 | Atlantic Ocean |
| 3 | Arctic Ocean |
| 4 | Indian Ocean |
| 5 | Southern Ocean |

Step 3: Final Answer
Write the answers in the blanks as shown in the worksheet:
```
(1) Pacific Ocean
(2) Atlantic Ocean
(3) Arctic Ocean
(4) Indian Ocean
(5) Southern Ocean
```

Explanation of Each Ocean:
1.
Pacific Ocean – The largest and deepest ocean, stretching from the Americas to Asia and Australia.
2.
Atlantic Ocean – Lies between the Americas to the east and Europe/Africa to the west.
3.
Arctic Ocean – Located around the North Pole, surrounded by northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia.
4.
Indian Ocean – Bounded by Africa to the west, Asia to the north, Australia to the east, and Antarctica to the south.
5.
Southern Ocean – Surrounds Antarctica and is defined as the waters south of 60°S latitude.

✔ Final Answer:
- (1)
Pacific Ocean
- (2)
Atlantic Ocean
- (3)
Arctic Ocean
- (4)
Indian Ocean
- (5)
Southern Ocean
You can now color the map accordingly:
- Use one color for each ocean, ensuring they match their respective locations on the map.
