Coastal News Today | Middle East - Is the Red Sea Really the Red Ocean?

THE SEVEN SEAS ARE A lie. The bodies of water that the traditional title encompasses have changed over the centuries, but today include the North and South Atlantic, North and South Pacific, Arctic, Indian, and Southern. All of them are actually oceans. Seas, on the other hand, are by definition much smaller and at least partly enclosed by land think the Mediterranean or Sea of Japan. (The North Atlantic’s Sargasso Sea, which is defined by the ocean currents that surround it, is an exception.) Geologists would go a step further, and categorize oceans based on the presence of oceanic crust: basalt created when Earth’s mantle coughs up magma along mid-ocean ridges. When continents, made of granite-based continental crust, tear apart, mid-ocean ridges sometimes emerge in that opening and act like conveyor belts, churning out magma that quickly cools, becoming basalt-based ocean floor. Mid-ocean ridges are how oceans are born, grow, and mature.

The Red Sea Might Technically Be an Ocean

The Red Sea Might Technically Be an Ocean Tobias Carroll, provided by FacebookTwitterEmail How many oceans are there in the world? Most people answer either four or five; answering that question with “one” is also an option. It’s enough to make geographers, oceanographers and pub quiz participants shake their heads in frustration. But there’s also another wrinkle to this debate just as the planet is constantly changing, so too are its bodies of water. And that means that yesterday’s sea might be tomorrow’s ocean. A new article by Gemma Tarlach at Atlas Obscura delves into this very issue as it relates to one body of water: the Red Sea. Tarlach begins with a quick explanation of the difference between seas and oceans: seas are generally enclosed by land, at least in part; oceans are not.
