洋即大洋,是地球海洋的主体,为海洋的中心部分。世界大洋的总面积约占海洋面积的89%。大洋的水深一般在3,000米以上,最深处可达1万多米。大洋离陆地远,不受陆地的影响,其水文和盐度的变化不大,每个大洋都有自己独特的洋流和潮汐系统。大洋的水透明度很大,水中的杂质少。世界上的大洋共有5个,按照面积由大到小分别为太平洋、大西洋、印度洋、南冰洋和北冰洋。 海水覆蓋了地球約71%-72%的表面積(~3.6×108平方公里),可以分為數個主要的洋及一些較小的海。地球上97%的水都在海洋中,但海洋学者認為人類只探索了海洋中的5%。海洋的的總體積約13億立方公里(3.1億立方英里),平均深度約3,682米(12,080英尺)。 海洋是地球水圈的主要成份,也是地球所有已知生命的起源,是碳循環之一,也影響氣候及天氣形態。海洋是23萬已知物種的棲地,而大部份的深海都尚未探索過。估計會有超過200萬種海洋物種。地球上海洋的起源目前尚不清楚,一般認為在冥古宙時就已存在,是生命起源的推動力。
