Oceans and Continents
Chapter 2 of the Class 6 NCERT social science textbook, Exploring Society: India and Beyond, zooms out to the whole planet and its seven continents and five oceans. Learners compare the sizes and positions of Asia, Africa, the Americas, Europe, Australia and Antarctica, and trace the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Arctic oceans around them. The chapter explores ocean depth, islands, coasts and marine life, and shows how winds, currents and monsoons link distant lands to India's shores.
