Caribbean Sea

Description

This sea is surrounded by the Antilles north and east, by Central America west and by South America south. There are numerous passages between the Antilles to the Atlantic Ocean and it is connected to the Gulf of Mexico by the Strait of Yucatan. The Panama Canal connects it to the Pacific Ocean. Depths range from less than 10 meters near Nicaragua to almost 7000 meters. Currents flow anti-clockwise, with warm currents exiting via the Strait of Yucatan.
