The geo-central line divides it into the North Pacific Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean. [1]

Most islands are located in the South Pacific Ocean. In the Pacific, there are small islands like Micronesia and Polynesia, as well as large islands like Taiwan, New Guyana. Mariana Trench is the world's deepest area even in the Pacific Ocean. Its depth is about 10 thousand 911 meters. If compared, the depth of Mount Everest is more than that.
