What are the names of the 7 seas?

Answer 1

• North Pacific
• South Pacific
• North Atlantic
• South Atlantic
• Indian
• Arctic
• Southern (Antarctic)

There actually are only five oceans:

• Arctic Ocean: Covers most of the Arctic and touches northern North America and Eurasia.
• Atlantic Ocean: Separates the Americas from Eurasia and Africa.
• Indian Ocean: Separates Africa and Australia; also touches southern Asia.
• Pacific Ocean: Separates Asia and Australia from the Americas.
• Southern Ocean: Encircles Antarctica and melds into southern Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.

The seven seas are:

• Adriatic Sea
• Arabian Sea (part of the Indian Ocean)
• Black Sea
• Caspian Sea
• Mediterranean Sea (including marginal seas, like the Aegean Sea)
• Persian Gulf
• Red Sea (including the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee)

Answer 2

The seven seas are Alboran, Balearic, Ligurian, Tyrrhenian, Ionian, Adriatic and Aegean.

The "Seven Seas" is an ancient phrase for all of the world's oceans. Since the 19th century, the term has been taken to include seven oceanic bodies of water:

• the Arctic Ocean
• the North Atlantic Ocean
• the South Atlantic Ocean
• the Indian Ocean
• the North Pacific Ocean
• the South Pacific Ocean
• the Southern (or Antarctic) Ocean

Answer 4

In looking over the answeres previously listed, I've come to the conclusion that no one really knows what seas made up the 7 ancient seas. So looking at a modern day map here is my educated guess on the 7 ancient seas going from East to West;

Black Sea

Aegean Sea - b/w Greece & Turkey

Ionian Sea - b/w Greece & S. Italy

Adriatic Sea - b/w Italy & Balkans (former Yugoslavia)

Tyrrhenian Sea - b/w Italy & islands of Sardina, Corsica, Sicily

Baleric Sea - S. France & N. Spain

Alboran Sea - b/w Spain & N. Africa

With the exception of the Black Sea, the other 6 Seas make up the Mediterranean, where the ancient Greeks would have been sailing. I'm not saying that I'm guaranteed right, but it makes sense to me that the ancient Greeks/Romans were smart enough to either include all of the seas making up the Mediterranean in the 7 or to just list the Mediterranean. But for them to pick & choose which seas making up the Mediterranean and then lump the rest in as the Mediterranean doesn't make sense to me. Would the ancient have said we'll include the Adriatic & Aegean but not the Ionian or Tyrrhenian? And all 6 of the seas listed above were known to them at the time. This is just my opinion though.

1. Black Sea

2. Caspian Sea

3. Mediterranean Sea

4. Persian Gulf

5. Red Sea

6. Adriatic Sea

7. Arabian Sea (Indian ocean)

Answer 5

There are only five oceans:

Atlantic, Arctic, Indian, Pacific, and Southern.

However, sometimes the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans are split into north and south (North Pacific, North Atlantic, etc.), which would total to seven oceans. However, these splits are not separate oceans and should be considered as such. In reality there are only five.

Answer 6

It depends on when you ask this question. At various times and to various cultures the "Seven Seas" have been different:

• In Greek literature the Seven Seas were the Aegean, Adriatic, Mediterranean, Black, Red, and Caspian seas, with the Persian Gulf thrown in as a "sea."
  
• In Medieval European literature they were the North Sea, Baltic, Atlantic, Mediterranean, Black, Red, and Arabian seas.
  
• After the 'discovered' North America the Seven Seas were the Arctic, the Atlantic, the Indian, the Pacific, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico.
  

Answer 7

Probably the one that's the biggest & saw the most sea fights: the Pacific.
