directions
drag and drop
the descriptions
in the correct
section of the
venn diagram.
farthest north
shallowest
contains
saltwater
holds half of
earth’s liquid
water
smaller
has the world’s
deepest point

Explanation:

To solve this Venn diagram problem comparing the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, we analyze each description:

Overlap (Both Oceans):

• Contains saltwater: All oceans have saltwater, so this goes in the middle (overlap) section.

Pacific Ocean (Only):

• Holds half of Earth’s liquid water: The Pacific Ocean is the largest and holds about half of Earth’s liquid water.
• Has the world’s deepest point: The Mariana Trench (deepest point) is in the Pacific Ocean.

Arctic Ocean (Only):

• Farthest north: The Arctic Ocean is located at the northernmost part of the Earth.
• Shallowest: The Arctic Ocean is the shallowest among the world’s oceans.
• Smaller: The Arctic Ocean is smaller in area/volume compared to the Pacific Ocean.

Final Placement:

• Pacific Ocean (left circle): Holds half of Earth’s liquid water, Has the world’s deepest point
• Overlap (middle): Contains saltwater
• Arctic Ocean (right circle): Farthest north, Shallowest, Smaller

(Note: If you need to drag-and-drop, assign each description to the correct section based on the above analysis.)
