The second-largest ocean on Earth, the Atlantic drives our weather patterns, including hurricanes, and is home to many species from sea turtles to dolphins. For centuries the Atlantic Ocean has been a key avenue of trade and travel. Scientists and geographers broadly separate the Atlantic in terms of north and south.
