Oceans and seas, vast expanses of saltwater, share the Earth’s stage, but let’s dive into two simple differences that distinguish them....CONTINUE READING
1. Size and Depth
Picture this oceans are like the big siblings, and seas are the smaller ones. Oceans, like the Pacific and Atlantic, are enormous and super deep.
They cover a whopping 71% of the Earth and go down about 12,080 feet. Seas, on the other hand, are like cozy nooks, partly surrounded by land and not as deep, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand feet.
2. Salinity And Ecosystems
Now, think about the taste of the water oceans are a bit saltier. This is because oceans, with their vastness, keep a steady salt level influenced by evaporation, precipitation, and river flows. Seas, being smaller and more influenced by freshwater, might have different tastes.
This makes seas like mixing bowls for diverse ecosystems, supporting various marine life thanks to different water types and nutrients…CONTINUE READING>>
