The majority of the Earthâs water is stored in its oceans, seas, and bays which make up 96.5% of the 1.36 billion tons of water. While some use the terms ocean and sea interchangeably, there is a difference in the geographic definitions of those two terms. An ocean represents a far larger body of open water than a sea. By definition, a sea is a smaller part of an ocean and is typically partially contained by an area of land. Therefore, all seas are found in areas where the ocean and land meet. In this example below, the Indian Ocean is shown as the open body of water.
