The different between an ocean and a sea
In terms of geography, a sea is part of the ocean partially enclosed by land.
Many people use the terms "ocean" and "sea" interchangeably when speaking about the ocean, but there is a difference between the two terms when speaking of geography (the study of the Earth's surface).
Seas are smaller than oceans and are usually located where the land and ocean meet. Typically, seas are partially enclosed by land.
海又被稱為「大海」,是指與「大洋」相連接的大面積鹹水區域,通常大型內陸鹽湖、沒有與海洋連通的大型鹹水湖泊如裏海、加利利海是「海」。海分為邊緣海、內海、內陸海(廣大的淡水水系,如五大湖)和陸間海。海在大洋的邊緣,是大洋的附屬部分。
洋即「大洋」,是海洋的主體,為海洋的中心部分。世界大洋的總面積約佔海洋面積的89%。大洋的水深一般在3000米以上,最深處可達1萬多米。大洋離陸地遠,不受陸地的影響,其水文和鹽度的變化不大,每個大洋都有自己獨特的洋流和潮汐系統。大洋的水透明度很大,水中的雜質少。世界上的大洋共有5個,按照面積由大到小分別為太平洋、大西洋、印度洋、南冰洋和北冰洋。「四大洋」則分別為太平洋、大西洋、印度洋和北冰洋。
