The Southern Ocean is the world's newest and fourth-largest ocean. In the spring of 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization decided to delimit a fifth ocean. In doing so, boundaries were taken from the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. The Southern Ocean extends from the coast of Antarctica to 60 degrees south latitude. It has a total area of 7,848,300 square miles (20,327,000 sq km) and an average depth ranging from 13,100 to 16,400 feet (4,000 to 5,000 meters). The deepest point in the Southern Ocean is unnamed, but it is in the south end of the South Sandwich Trench and has a depth of -23,737 feet (-7,235 meters). The world's largest ocean current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, moves east and is 13,049 miles (21,000 km) in length. [links]

The Pacific Ocean is by far the world's largest ocean at 60,060,700 square miles (155,557,000 sq km). According to the CIA World Factbook, it covers 28 percent of the Earth and is equal in size to nearly all of the land area on the Earth. The Pacific Ocean is located between the Southern Ocean, Asia, and Australia in the Western Hemisphere. It has an average depth of 13,215 feet (4,028 meters), but its deepest point is the Challenger Deep within the Mariana Trench near Japan. This area is also the deepest point in the world at -35,840 feet (-10,924 meters). The Pacific Ocean is important to geography not only because of its size but also because it has been a major historical route of exploration and migration. more

Let’s begin with definition to highlight the difference between an ocean and the sea at first place. Ocean is usually larger than sea. Contrary to this, a sea is not only smaller than ocean but also its part. It is usually enclosed by the continents. One should also note that every single water body that ends with the suffix sea is not necessarily a sea. For example, Caspian Sea and Black sea are large salt water lakes and not really sea for not being a part of an oceans.
