Seas Of The World

Seas can be sections of larger oceans but a number of different seas of the world are surrounded on most sides by land, creating an inlet that makes their large body of water one that stands on its own. These seas of the world are numerous and located in or beside different continents, all of different sizes and with different natural resources in the countries around them. What classifies them as seas is that they all have salt water, many with more salt than others. Check out this list of seas of the world that you may want to visit in the future or at least know something about, so you can talk about them at cocktail parties.

1. Caspian Sea. Joked as the world's largest lake, this landlocked sea has salt water and is located between Europe and Asia. It is between a wide variety of countries who use the lake for a lot of natural resources and energy. It is not only rich with life but also with oil.
2. Black Sea. The Black Sea is one of the largest seas in the world which has a lot of marine life and a lot of ancient history for wrecking Greek sailors. Numerous beaches are favorites along the Black Sea for Russians and tourists. There is incredible scuba diving reefs off the coast of many of these tourist locations on the Black Sea.
3. North Sea. The North Sea is one of the seas of the world that boasts some of the best fishing in the world. It is located between the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark and other smaller Northern European countries.
4. Alaskan Sea. The cold waters of the Alaskan sea is located beside the state of Alaska, not surprisingly, and offers some of the best fishing in the world as well. This sea is part of the Northern Pacific ocean as well and is raked constantly by storms.
5. Dead Sea. This small sea in the country of Jordan is where the first major biblical civilizations were built around. What makes this sea so unique is that it is filled with salt, is the lowest place on earth and has no life in it. Except when you climb into it and float on the surface, or walk on water, perhaps.
