Where is Sargasso sea situated ?

  • A.North Atlantic Ocean
  • B.South Atlantic Ocean
  • C.Indian Ocean
  • D.North Pacific Ocean

Answer: A

The Sargasso Sea is in the North Atlantic Ocean.

It lies within the North Atlantic subtropical gyre and is bounded not by land but by ocean currents: the Gulf Stream to the west, the North Atlantic Current to the north, the Canary Current to the east and the North Equatorial Current to the south. It is named after the floating Sargassum seaweed that collects in its calm water, and it is the breeding ground of European and American eels.

No sea of this kind lies in the South Atlantic, Indian or North Pacific Ocean, so the other options are wrong.
