Water covers approximately 70% of the Earth’s surface. This water includes the world’s five oceans as well as numerous other bodies of water. A sea, a large lake-type water body with saltwater that is sometimes connected to an ocean, is one of these common water body types. However, a sea does not have to be connected to an ocean outlet; for example, the Caspian Sea is an inland sea.
The following is a list of the world’s ten largest seas by area. Average depth and the oceans they are in have been included for reference.
