Seas are found on the margins of the ocean and are partially enclosed by land. Here, you can see that the Bering Sea is part of the Pacific Ocean.
What is the longest sea in the world?
The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of the world ocean basins.

What is the deepest sea in the world?
The Mariana Trench, in the Pacific Ocean, is the deepest location on Earth.
What is landlocked sea?
A landlocked sea occurs when tectonic activity causes the sea to be completely surrounded by land. The Dead Sea is fed by the Jordan River, above. Other landlocked seas include the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea.
Is the Caspian Sea a lake?
Despite its name, it determines that the Caspian is neither lake nor sea. The surface is to be treated as a sea, with states granted jurisdiction over 15 nautical miles of water from their coasts and fishing rights over an additional ten miles.
