Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A sea is an area of open water that is partially bounded by a land barrier while a gulf is an area of water indented into a land mass. Map: Caitlin Dempsey. What is this? Bays and gulfs are part of seas and oceans.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sea is that part of the ocean that is partially surrounded by land. However, there are cases where the sea is completely landlocked, for example, The Caspian Sea.
