'''Sea'''

The '''sea''' is the interconnected system of all the [[Earth]]'s oceanic waters, including the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]], [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]], [[Indian Ocean|Indian]], [[Southern Ocean]], and [[Arctic Ocean]]. However, the word "sea" can also be used for many specific, much smaller bodies of seawater, such as the [[North Sea]] or the [[Red Sea]].

== Characteristics ==

There is a wide range of characteristics of the sea. The sea is a complex [[ecosystem]] that includes a wide range of [[organisms]], including everything from small [[plankton]] to the largest [[whale]]s. The sea also plays a crucial role in the [[water cycle]], acting as a major reservoir for [[water]] and as a major source of [[evaporation]].

== Importance ==

The sea is of immense importance to humans. It provides a substantial portion of the world's food and a wide range of other resources, including [[minerals]], [[energy resources]], and [[biological resources]]. It also serves as a major avenue for [[transportation]] and [[commerce]], and it has been the venue for exploration and warfare.

== Threats ==

The sea faces a number of threats. These include [[pollution]], [[overfishing]], [[climate change]], and [[acidification]]. These threats have the potential to disrupt the sea's ecosystems and to deplete its resources.
