Talk:Inland sea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page should have a list of current inland seas. Is there any referenceable listing of such? The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language describes Hudson Bay as an inland sea (but I don't know how authoritative the AHD is on hydrographical topics); the Hudson is much larger than the Caspian Sea, making it, I would assume, the largest in the world. - Jeff Worthington 14:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Definition of a Sea?
I understand that a body must be composed of salt water to be considered a sea. Since the Great Lakes are (or would naturally be) fresh water, should they really be listed as examples of the phenomenon? 24.89.207.7 17:49, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- No, they are the relics of glacial lakes, not of marine incursion. --Wetman 23:01, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- So, given the fact that the Great Lakes are listed in this article currently as examples, would it be appropriate to remove them? 24.89.207.7 22:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
