It is located off the coast of Tierra Del Fuego.
The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans meet at the southernmost point of South America.
80% of the Pacific’s volume, the deep zone, has a relatively constant and stable salinity and temperature patterns of around 38.3☏.
The maximum salinity level in the southeastern region is 37 ppt, while the one near the equator is 34 ppt due to higher levels of precipitation, and a 32 ppt average in the northern Pacific region.
The Pacific Ocean varies salinity levels in accordance with latitudes.
The world’s largest basin is divided into three physiographic regions: central, eastern, and western Pacific regions.
Space debris from decommissioned satellites can be found in the Pacific region, with the Mars 96 a notable one it polluted a 200-mi long stretch of water, and parts of Bolivia and Chile.
Marine pollution continues to grow every year, accumulating an increase of about a hundred times over in the last 40 years.
The Pacific Ocean shrinks by approximately 1 inch annually, while the Atlantic Ocean grows at the same rate.
The Pacific harbors a number of the world’s fishes for human consumption, including tuna, sardines, herring, and shellfish.
