L'oceano è l'insieme delle vaste distese d'acqua salata presenti sulla superficie terrestre; si tratta di un complesso unico e continuo, che circonda i continenti e le isole e che comprende la maggior parte della superficie terrestre (circa il 70% della superficie totale). Nell'oceano, inteso come complesso unico, si distinguono grandi masse d'acqua, delimitate da continenti, dette esse stesse oceani (come l'oceano Atlantico, il Pacifico e l'Indiano), all'interno dei quali si distinguono a loro volte distese d'acqua minori, dette "mari dipendenti" (come il Mediterraneo e il mar Rosso). Il termine "oceano" può essere usato anche in contrapposizione con "mare" e in questo caso l'elemento discriminante sono le dimensioni; i mari sono infatti insenature marginali rispetto agli oceani e sono generalmente diversi per caratteristiche geologiche dei fondali.
