What separates the Pacific Ocean from the Arctic?

Answer 1

No, The pacific is separated from the Atlantic by the Isthmus of Panama (a strip of land essentially connecting North and South America - south of Belize)

Nothing, it is an arbitrarily made up line.

Answer 2

the pacific and Atlantic Ocean or not connected because the Central America blocks it.... The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans!

Wrong! They ARE connected naturally, past the Southern tip of South America, and over the North Pole, whose ice-cap is floating ice, not land. They are separate oceans only because we choose to name them as such for convenience. The seas of the world are all one, albeit with their own circulations etc.

Answer 3

The continents of North America and South America separate the Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean. North America separates the North Atlantic Ocean from the North Pacific Ocean, whereas South America separates the South Atlantic Ocean from the South Pacific Ocean. Since North and South America are connected, the continents of North and South America separate the entire Pacific from the entire Atlantic Ocean.

Answer 4

Two things; 1) land masses and, 2) water currents. Since technically all oceans are connected (you can draw a continuous line on a globe connecting them all) it is ocean currents that really separate the oceans from each other. Other than that it's just imaginary lines drawn by people on a map a long time ago.
