The sea is an open water area, which is usually directly connected with the ocean, and the substances contained in the water are also consistent with the ocean. ?
A lake is a closed water area, generally surrounded by land, which is indirectly connected or disconnected with the ocean through rivers (inland lake), and the material content of water is not consistent with that of the ocean.
the difference between the lake and the sea has nothing to do with the size.
Large waters are also called lakes, such as Belga Lake and Qinghai Lake.
Small waters may also be called the sea, such as the Wuhuahai and Panda Seas in Jiuzhaigou. In fact, they are just small ponds.
Lake Baikal (Russian: озеробайкал, English: Lake Baikal) is located in the south of eastern Siberia, Russia, in the territory of Buryatia and Irkutsk.
is the deepest lake in the world and the largest freshwater lake in Eurasia. The lake is 636 kilometers long, with an average width of 48 kilometers and an area of 31,5 square kilometers. It is formed by the collapse of strata, with an altitude of 455 meters and an average water depth of 73 meters. China of Lake Baikal, called Beihai in ancient times, was once the main activity area of northern tribes in China. Lake Baikal is inhabited by Irkutsk ethnic minorities, among which Buryat, a branch of Mongolian, has a large population.
The Dead Sea, located at the junction of Israel and Jordan, is the lowest lake in the world, with an altitude of -422 meters. The Dead Sea is also the deepest saltwater lake in the world.
The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley, the Great Rift Valley between Israel and Jordan. It is 86 kilometers long from north to south, 5 to 16 kilometers wide from east to west, and the deepest part is 38.29 meters.
The Dead Sea contains a high concentration of salt, which is 8.6 times that of ordinary seawater, so that no living things exist in the water, and even there are few living things except aquatic plants on the land along the Dead Sea. This is one of the reasons why people named it the Dead Sea.
Because the Dead Sea is surrounded by land and not connected with other rivers and oceans, there is no tidal phenomenon in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea, a saltwater lake on the border between Israel and Jordan, is disappearing.
