Omr氓det 盲r s氓ledes st枚rre 盲n hela jordens landmassa. F枚rutom att vara den st枚rsta av v盲rldshaven s氓盲r Stilla Havet dessutom det djupaste. Rekorddjupet har d枚pts till Marianergraven och ligger p氓 10 911 meter, allts氓 en dryg mil.</p> <p>Stilla Havet brukar delas in i en nordlig del norr om ekvatorn och en sydlig s枚der d盲rom. Havet avgr盲nsas i norr av Berings Hav, i s枚der av Antarktiska oceanen, i v盲ster av Asien och Australien och i 枚ster av den amerikanska kontinenten. Fr氓n norr till s枚der str盲cker det sig omkring 15 500 kilometer. Den totala vattenvolymen 盲r omkring 622 miljoner kubikkilometer (en kubikkilometer motsvarar 1 biljon liter).</p> <p>Salthalten i Stilla Havet varierar beroende p氓 latitud. N盲ra ekvatorn 盲r vattnet exempelvis mindre salt p氓 grund av h枚gre avdunstningsgrad.</p> <p><strong>EUROPAS INT脜G</strong><br/> De f枚rsta europ茅erna n氓dde Stilla Havet i b枚rjan av 1500-talet. Allra f枚rst var den spanska uppt盲cktsresanden Vasco N煤帽ez de Balboa som korsade Panaman盲set 1513 och kallade det nya havet f枚r Mar del Sur, det vill s盲ga S枚derhavet i svensk 枚vers盲ttning. Det nuvarande namnet gavs av den portugisiske kollegan Ferdinand Magellan n盲r han 1521 deltog i en spansk expedition.</p> <p><strong>脰AR</strong><br/> I Stilla Havet finns omkring 25 000 枚ar vilket 盲r mer 盲n det sammanlagda antalet i de 枚vriga v盲rldshaven. Majoriteten av dessa 盲r bel盲gna s枚der om ekvatorn. Den st枚rsta landmassan som 盲r bel盲gen helt inom Stilla Havet 盲r Nya Guinea, den n盲st st枚rsta 枚n p氓 jorden. Stilla Havets 枚grupper 盲r indelade i tre st枚rre omr氓den.</p> <p><strong>Polynesien</strong> fogar samman Hawaii, P氓sk枚n och Nya Zeeland. Hit r盲knas Cook枚arna, Marquesa枚arna, Samoa, S盲llskaps枚arna, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuamotu, Tuvalu samt Wallis- och Futuna枚arna.</p> <p>Norr och v盲ster om den internationella datumlinjen ligger ett stort antal mindre 枚ar som kallas f枚r <strong>Mikronesien</strong>. Hit h枚r bland annat Caroline枚arna, Marshall枚arna samt Marianer枚arna.</p> <p>I den sydv盲stra 盲nden av Stilla Havet ligger <strong>Melanesien</strong> som domineras av Nya Guinea. Hit h枚r 盲ven Bismarckarkipelagen, Fiji, Nya Kaledonien, Salomon枚arna och Vanuatu.</p> </div> </div> <div id="comments"> <p class="nocomments">Kommentarer inaktiverade.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div id="primary" class="widget-area" role="complementary"> <ul class="xoxo"> <li id="search-2" class="widget-container widget_search"><form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/"> <div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">S枚k efter:</label> <input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s"/> <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="S枚k"/> </div> </form></li><li id="pages-3" class="widget-container widget_pages"><h3 class="widget-title">Sidor</h3> <ul> <li class="page_item page-item-74"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/kontakt/" title="Kontakt">Kontakt</a></li> <li class="page_item page-item-40"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/melanesien/" title="Melanesien">Melanesien</a> <ul class="children"> <li class="page_item page-item-43"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/melanesien/fiji/" title="Fiji">Fiji</a></li> <li class="page_item page-item-50"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/melanesien/vanuatu/" title="Vanuatu">Vanuatu</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="page_item page-item-54"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/mikronesien/" title="Mikronesien">Mikronesien</a> <ul class="children"> <li class="page_item page-item-62"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/mikronesien/kiribati/" title="Kiribati">Kiribati</a></li> <li class="page_item page-item-67"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/mikronesien/marshalloarna/" title="Marshall枚arna">Marshall枚arna</a></li> <li class="page_item page-item-70"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/mikronesien/mikronesiska-federationen/" title="Mikronesiska federationen">Mikronesiska federationen</a></li> <li class="page_item page-item-59"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/mikronesien/palau/" title="Palau">Palau</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/om/" title="Om">Om</a></li> <li class="page_item page-item-15"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/polynesien/" title="Polynesien">Polynesien</a> <ul class="children"> <li class="page_item page-item-29"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/polynesien/samoa/" title="Samoa">Samoa</a></li> <li class="page_item page-item-23"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/polynesien/tonga/" title="Tonga">Tonga</a></li> <li class="page_item page-item-33"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/polynesien/tuvalu/" title="Tuvalu">Tuvalu</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="page_item page-item-8 current_page_item"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/" title="Stilla Havet">Stilla Havet</a></li> </ul> </li><li id="text-3" class="widget-container widget_text"><h3 class="widget-title">Annonser</h3> <div class="textwidget"><script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div id="colophon"> <div id="site-info"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://www.stillahavet.se/" title="Stillahavet.se" rel="home"> Stillahavet.se </a> </div> <div id="site-generator"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626/http://wordpress.org/" title="Semantisk personlig publiceringsplattform" rel="generator"> Drivs stolt med WordPress. </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626js_/http://www.stillahavet.se/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/jquery.form.js?ver=2.47"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120225051626js_/http://www.stillahavet.se/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/scripts.js?ver=2.4.1"></script> </body> </html>
