Pelagic sediments - Pelagic sediments

The term "sea" refers to a body of water that is contained in a depression on the Earth other than land and that is continuous as a whole. The water that fills it is called seawater, and its salinity is roughly constant throughout the world. Whether an inlet, a bay, or a lagoon near the coast is called a sea or a lake is largely a matter of past custom.

[Ocean Classification]
Seas are classified into oceans and adjoining seas based on their location, size, shape, and the characteristics of the water. Adjoining seas are further divided into the Mediterranean Sea (Large and Small Mediterranean Seas) and marginal seas.
