The Pacific.
"The sea area represents one third of the Earth’s surface at 165 million square kilometres – 18 times the size of the USA – and is larger than all the planet’s landmasses combined. The Pacific’s average depth is 4,000 metres and the Mariana Trench, 1,200 miles east of the Philippines at the ocean’s western limit, plunges to an abyss almost seven miles deep. "

The Pacific Ocean.

http://marinebio.org/i/hawaii.jpg

"The Pacific is the world’s largest body of water and was named by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan who found the Pacific very peaceful (“pacifique”, means peaceful in French) for most of his journey from the Straits of Magellan to the Philippines. In contrast to its name, the islands of the “peaceful ocean” are often slammed by typhoons and hurricanes. The countries that border the Pacific, or the Pacific Rim, often experience volcanoes and earthquakes. Entire towns have been wiped out by Tsunamis, the large waves caused by an underwater earthquake.

The Pacific Ocean covers a third of the Earth’s surface, has an area of 179.7 million km² and extends about 15,500 km from the Bering Sea in the Arctic all the way to the icy waters of Antarctica’s Ross Sea in the South. The Pacific is widest eastwards at 5° N latitude where it reaches all the way from Indonesia to the Columbian Coast, a distance of 19,800 km. Its farthest western point is most likely the Strait of Malacca. The Pacific Ocean also contains the lowest point on earth and deepest part of the Ocean known as the Mariana Trench, an area that is 10,911 meters below sea level. There are 25,000 Pacific islands in the Pacific Ocean—more than any other ocean."
