The Atlantic Ocean, flanked by the Americas to the west and Europe and Africa to the east, is the second-largest ocean on Earth.
Spanning diverse latitudes, it serves as a crucial conduit for global trade and travel. Known for its immense width and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, it separates the Americas from Eurasia and Africa. Rich in marine biodiversity, the Atlantic Ocean harbors ecosystems ranging from tropical coral reefs to polar regions.
Its currents influence climate patterns and play a key role in regulating the planet’s temperature, making it integral to Earth’s environmental dynamics.
