    According to:
    http://school.discovery.com/schooladventures/planetocean/ocean.html

    "You've heard of "one world?" Well, technically, all the world's oceans and seas are part of one continuous mass of seawater. But because the ocean is so big, humans have divided it up and named the different parts. There are five oceans and several dozen seas.* Seas are usually smaller than oceans and are partially enclosed by land. But otherwise, they're exactly the same thing."

    Hope I've been some help. Welcome to AB!
