Answer 1

That would be the SOUTHERN OCEAN.

They all meet on the south if they all merge.

Answer 2

As is indicated in the other answers it is Southern (Antarctic) Ocean. But then the notion of Antarctic Ocean was there when no one was aware of a continent (12 1/2 million sq. km.). So, what is left of it now is a coastal sea; I would call it - Antarctic sea. In contrast Pacific occupies half, Atlantic quarter and Indian a wee bit less than quarter of the water surface. Even Arctic Ocean is Arctic sea, a mediterranean sea between Eurasia and North America with a narrow opening to Pacific and a wider one to Atlantic.

Answer 3

The average depth of the ocean is 5000 m (16,000 ft). Its total volume is about 1,347,000,000 cu km (322,300,000 cu mi). The world ocean is divided into three major subdivisions which are:

   1. The Atlantic Ocean

   2. The Pacific Ocean

   3. The Indian Ocean

These oceans are merge below 40� South latitude in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, or West Wind Drift, where they are then usually referred to as the Antarctic Ocean.

additional info.

Where the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet near the continent of Antarctica, the waters are called the Antarctic or Southern Ocean.

Answer 9

A decision by the International Hydrographic Organization in the spring of 2000 delimited a fifth world ocean - the Southern Ocean - from the southern portions of the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Pacific Ocean. The Southern Ocean extends from the coast of Antarctica north to 60 degrees south latitude, which coincides with the Antarctic Treaty Limit. The Southern Ocean is now the fourth largest of the world's five oceans (after the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Indian Ocean, but larger than the Arctic Ocean).
