'''Oceans''' ~~consist of~~ large bodies of [[water]] [[block]]s. ~~They~~ are ~~typically~~ deep with sloping shorelines, usually with [[sand]] near the surface. They sometimes surround small islands. Most coastlines have [[beach]]es.

'''Oceans''' are large bodies of [[water]] [[block]]s. Most occurrences are very deep with sloping shorelines, usually with [[sand]] near the surface, which may include deposits of black sand mostly near the shores. They sometimes surround small islands. Most coastlines have [[beach]]es.

~~While they can be crossed by [[swimming]], they~~ are ~~traveled faster~~ by ~~[[boat]]~~.

Oceans are differentiated from lakes and ponds mostly by size and depth. There is no fixed rule for classifying them.

~~The presence of an ocean on the surface may indicate a lowering of the beginning of~~ [[~~magma~~]] ~~below it~~.

While they can be crossed by [[swimming]], travel is faster by [[boat]].

Oceans in temperate [[climate]]s may freeze over during the ~~[[season]] of~~ winter. This turns most of the surface blocks into [[ice]]. Oceans especially close to the [[:Category:Location|poles]] may be permanently frozen, and not thaw even in summer.

The presence of an ocean on the surface may indicate a lowering of the [[magma]] layer below it.
