What is the difference between an ocean and a sea? What is the difference between an ocean and a sea? An ocean is a vast body of

water encompassing 70% of Earth, whereas a sea refers specifically to a large, inland, saline body of water. Seas are generally smaller than an ocean and tend to be partially enclosed by land or large, inland, saline water bodies. The term sea is used to describe the global, interconnected water body covering 70% of Earth's surface, whereas oceans refer to the individual basins within this global sea. There is no difference, just a different term for the same physical feature.

A sea is great body of water, usually salty, that covers the earth broadly. It is a connected body of salt water that covers 70% of the earth.

The ocean on the other hand, is a large area of water in between continents. They are very big and they join smaller seas together. Together, the oceans are like one "ocean", since all the "oceans" are joined

Describe the role that convection plays in the Earth Sun relationship
MakcuM [25]
Convection and radiation is how the heat is transferred within the Sun, which involves circulation of hydrogen ions. Convection and conduction is how the heat is transferred within the Earth, which involves circulation of silicates in the Earth's mantle layer and crust layer, and by the circulation of iron in the liquid outer core. On the surface of the Earth and the atmosphere, heat emanating largely from the Sun is transferred by convection, which involves the circulation of carbon and water.

What is the relationship between temperature and ocean depth
Drupady [299]

Due to decreased access of sunlight as you get closer to the ocean floor, the deeper the water, the colder the temperature will be. An every day example of this would be like swimming in pools on a sunny day. The top layer, where you dip your foot in to check the temperature, is always warmer than when you get fully into the pool. Hope it helps!!!
