Oceans are large bodies of water blocks. 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 beaches.
Oceans are differentiated from lakes and ponds mostly by size and depth. There is no fixed rule for classifying them.
While they can be crossed by swimming, they are traveled faster by boat.
The presence of an ocean on the surface may indicate a lowering of the beginning of magma below it.
Oceans in temperate climates may freeze over during the season of winter. This turns most of the surface blocks into ice. Oceans especially close to the poles may be permanently frozen, and not thaw even in summer.
