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.
