difference between bay and sea
Answers
Answer:In geographical terms both bay and sea are marginal water bodies, surrounded by land but not completely land locked (otherwise it will become lake).
Now coming to question, there is no difference in both, both are used interchangeably.
One may argue that Bay are smaller than sea, but Bay of Bengal is much bigger than dead sea. If someone argues that Bay is bigger than sea than Arabian sea is bigger than Bay of Fundy. If Bay has to be landlocked specifically from 3 sides than Red sea should be termed as Bay which is not the case. I hope this clears your doubt.
Moreover, sea is sometimes misnomer as Caspian sea, dead sea etc despite of being landlocked are designated as sea, which is wrong geographically. As in the earlier ages, they were named as sea, therefore they are continued to be called as sea (going with same logic, Lake Baikal is bigger than dead sea and it is landlocked same as the former but still designated as lake).
