I’m starting to question my education again. Once again I was scrolling on TikTok and came across a video. This one actually comes from a very reliable source. National Geographic has a TikTok account and they had one of their specialists explain they are adding a fifth ocean to maps, globes, and textbooks. They are calling it the “Southern Ocean.” I’m quite confused right now. I understand the scientist have facts to back the fact this body of water is its own and should be recognized differently… but now everything I learned in school is wrong!!! So many questions come to my mind!! Like is this in effect right now? Is it going to take time for this to go into effect? If a kid has geography homework and the question is how many oceans are there… will the teacher accept both answers of four and five? Like are all the teachers of the world going to be informed of this? LOL, so so many questions! How do you feel about this? Let me know!
@natgeo Not everyday you get a new ocean! 🌊👀 #NatGeoTikTok
