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

Answer: The Turquoise Lake as seen nowadays in Colorado is a result of the 1850´s modern warming climate transition, lingering away from the Little Ice Age times occurred 500 years ago. This given period was characterized by snow blowing winds that  accumulated ice through thermal compaction, generating the glaciers as we see them.

Explanation: Terminal and recessional moraines are the terminus of a glacial feature. Moraines are the sedimentar charges carried by melted glacials. Consequence of those is the repositioning of the snow downwards the valleys. The ice, initially attached to the glaciers and mountain tops, undergoes melting by seasonal and/or climate transition warming, resulting on circumstancial water deposits that place on the basin/lower areas of the mountain chains, forming lakes.
