Which one of the following statements is false about Antarctic Ocean?
This Ocean is the youngest Ocean and was formed 40 million years ago.
Among the given statements, the one identified as false is: 'This Ocean is the youngest Ocean and was formed 40 million years ago.' While this age (roughly when the Drake Passage opened, separating Antarctica from South America) is sometimes cited for the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, describing the Southern Ocean itself as the 'youngest ocean' in this way does not hold up. The other three statements — about it being the fourth largest ocean, the mixing boundary with sub-Antarctic water, and the summer ice coverage — are considered accurate per the official key.
