Solution

A sea is defined as a large body of saltwater that is smaller than an ocean. It is partially enclosed by land and may be connected to an ocean or a larger sea. Seas are found on the margins of the ocean and are partially enclosed by land. For example, the North Sea in Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. Seas may also exist as entirely landlocked water bodies, such as the Caspian Sea and the Great Lakes in North America. They are characterized by their salinity, depth, and the aquatic life they support.
