In the first century why did storms occur in the Sea of Galilee?
The same reason they occur now - they are part of the natural cycle. If you are referring to a supernatural occurrence I cannot think of a storm in on the Galilee being caused by God according to Scripture.
Perhaps you're thinking of Christ's calming of the sea? God apparently did not cause that storm in any miraculous sense but He (in the Person of Christ) supernaturally caused it to stop. That demonstrated Christ's command of the elements and His divinity (although not understood by the disciples at that time).
He was born in 1564 and he died in 1642. If he were alive today, he would be 447 years old.
What does the name Galilee mean?
It is the name of a region in northern Israel. In Hebrew, it suggests waves (galim), which in turn is based upon a rolling motion (galgel), since waves describe a circular movement. Looking south from the Galileean hills, one sees rolls of hills further south on clear days, which look like waves.
What is the religious significance of sea of Galilee?
This body of water figured prominently in Jesus' earthly ministry. A number of times the Son of God spoke from a boat to great crowds assembled on its wide, pebbly shore. (Mr 3:9; 4:1; Lu 5:1-3) On one of these occasions he caused some of his disciples to have a miraculous catch of fish and called Peter, Andrew, James, and John to be "fishers of men." (Mt 4:18-22; Lu 5:4-11) In the vicinity of the Sea of Galilee, Jesus performed many powerful works. He healed the sick, expelled demons (Mr 3:7-12), calmed the wind and the sea (Mr 4:35-41), and walked on the water (Joh 6:16-21); once, he miraculously fed more than 5,000 people, and at another time he fed more than 4,000, each time with only a few loaves of bread and several fish. (Mt 14:14-21; 15:29, 34-38) Rightly Jesus condemned three cities in that area, Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, for remaining unresponsive despite the many powerful works their inhabitants had witnessed.-Mt 11:20-24.
After his resurrection from the dead, Jesus appeared to some of his disciples by the Sea of Galilee and caused them to have a second miraculous catch of fish. He then stressed the importance of feeding his sheep.-Joh 21:1, 4-19.
Who first recognized the risen Lord at the Sea of Galilee?
John first recognized Jesus.
(John 21:7) Therefore that disciple whom Jesus used to love said to Peter: "It is the Lord!" Hence Simon Peter, upon hearing that it was the Lord, girded about himself his top garment, for he was naked, and plunged into the sea.

On the east what borders Samaria Judea and Galilee?
The Eastern borders of Samaria, Judea and Galilee are bodies of water....the Sea of Galilee, Jordan River, and the Dead Sea. The areas east of that were Decapolis, Perea and Arabia.
Why is the Sea of Galilee actually called a sea?
In general use, the word "sea" is used to refer to large bodies of salt water, such as the oceans and partially landlocked waters such as the Mediterranean Sea or landlocked bodies such as the Caspian Sea. However, "sea" is also occasionally used to refer to large fresh water bodies, such as the Sea of Galilee. The Hebrew word is "yam" - "from an unused root meaning "to roar." The name is used in Hebrew to refer to a sea (as breaking in noisy surf) or a large body of water. The Sea of Galilee often has storms that raise the surf to a rather noisy pitch. So perhaps this is the reason why the ancients called it a 'sea'.
The Sea of Galilee is fresh water, fed by the River Jordan. The salinity is beginning to increase from salt water springs in the bed of the lake because too much fresh water is being extracted, but it remains a fresh water lake at present.
