04Exam FocusThere are five major oceans: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic
05Real Life LinkOceans regulate Earth's climate by absorbing and releasing heat slowly, moderating temperatures near coasts like Mumbai's climate is milder due to the sea nearby.  Continents provide land for living, farming, and contain natural resources; their features like mountains affect climate and rainfall patterns. The theory of continental drift explains how continents were once joined and slowly moved apart over millions of years
