Abstract: INTRODUCTION : The Indian Ocean, unlike the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans which communicate to both north and south poles, is land-locked by the landmass of Asia on the north and does not extend into the cold climate regions of the northern hemisphere. It only communicates to the Antarctic Ocean and ·Antarctica in the south. In other words, the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are open oceans and the Indian Ocean is a closed ocean. Such a geographical orientation gives some unique features to the Indian Ocean.
