Answer:
a) A marginal sea is one which lies between a land mass and an adjacent open ocean. They usually carry the name of a bay or gulf, i.e. Bay of Bengal, Persian Gulf. Sometimes the name of a lesser sea is used, i.e. Red Sea.
An inland sea is a large body of water totally enclosed by land. i.e Caspian Sea, Sea of Azov
b) Seas are found on the margins of the ocean and are partially enclosed by land. the Bering Sea is part of the Pacific Ocean.Seas are found on the margins of the ocean and are partially enclosed by land. Here, you can see that the Bering Sea is part of the Pacific Ocean.
c) In the Southern Ocean, glacial melt water accounts for most of the freshwater that flows into the systems. In contrast, the Arctic Ocean receives much bigger pulses of freshwater from several large river systems with huge continental drainage basins, in addition to glacial melt water.
