    Question

    Which one of the following statements is not correct about the Indian Ocean?

    A.

    It covers 20% of water of earth surface

    B.

    It touches three continents

    C.

    Its Northern boundary is marked by the Southern end of Persian Gulf

    D.

    It is delineated by 20° Meridian to Atlantic Ocean

    Correct option is D

    Indian Ocean:

    • The Indian Ocean is the third-largest ocean, covering about 20% of the Earth's water surface.
    • The Indian Ocean borders Asia, Africa, and Australia.
    • The northern boundary of the Indian Ocean reaches the southern end of the Persian Gulf.
    • The Indian Ocean is not delineated by the 20° meridian; rather, the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean are generally separated by the 20° East longitude (off the coast of Africa). The 20° meridian in question here is inaccurate with respect to marking the boundary with the Atlantic Ocean, making this the incorrect statement.
