Answer:
The sea, connected as the world ocean or simply the ocean, is the body of salty water that covers over 70 percent of the Earth's surface. The word sea is also used to denote second-order sections of the sea, such as the Mediterranean Sea, as well as certain large, entirely landlocked, saltwater lakes, such as the Caspian Sea.
The ocean (also the sea or the world ocean) is the body of salt water which covers approximately 71% of the surface of the Earth.[1] It is also "any of the large bodies of water into which the great ocean is divided".[1] A common definition lists five oceans, in descending order by area, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern (Antarctic), and Arctic Oceans.[2][3
