Question
I am supposed to be making a chart about the oceans.  I have to include the location, area, climate, coastline, natural resources, and elevation.  I found the information for the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic Oceans, but I am also suppose to find the information for Atlantic-Pacific, Atlantic-Indian, Atlantic-Arctic, Pacific-Indian, Indian-Arctic. I have been on the internet for 2 days, and I can't find this information.  All I can find is information on the 4 major oceans.  Can you help me?

Answer
Hi Sheila
This seems like kind of an unreasonable question for you to have to answer without some sort of texbook or database that contains that info.  This website might be of help to you <http://content.cdlib.org/xtf/view?docId=kt167nb66r&chunk.id=d3_1_ch15&toc.depth=1&toc.id=ch15&brand=eschol> On the side panel you can change regions and type of information.   I think your search might go easier if you use different search terms: for example instead of Pacific-Indian, try indo-pacific.  For the Atlantic-Pacific, Atlantic-Indian, and Indian-Pacific just try antarctic circumpolar region, for Atlantic-Arctic try just the North Atlantic, and there is no Indian-Arctic.  Hope that helps!
Lindsey
