are there any freshwater seas?

Seas are generally larger than lakes and contain salt water, but the Sea of Galilee is a freshwater lake.

Although both types contain fish from tropical (warm) climates, the freshwater fish are from the rivers in these climates and so live in fresh (unsalted) water. Tropical marine fish are from the sea in these areas, and therefore live in saltwater.

About 97% of Earth's water is contained in oceans and seas. The five oceans—the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic—are all connected and form an enormous mass of water. Seas are smaller bodies of salty water within the oceans. The oceans are salty, which makes them unsuitable for drinking.

Although shallow coastal saltwater bodies such as estuaries and bays seem to be habitats of choice, comb jellies can be found everywhere from polluted, brackish inland waters to open oceans far away from any kind of terra firma.

While nearly 70 percent of the world is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of it is fresh. The rest is saline and ocean-based. Even then, just 1 percent of our freshwater is easily accessible, with much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields.

Freshwater swamps are commonly found inland, while saltwater swamps are usually found along coastal areas. Swamps are transition areas. They are neither totally land nor totally water.

Lakes usually contain freshwater, whereas oceans contain saltwater. Lake water has lesser buoyancy as compared to salt water of the oceans. Lakes have less diversity of life forms, while oceans have a larger diversity of life forms, in part because they are larger and can support more plants and animals.

Salt water is water that contains a certain amount of salts. ... Salt water can be found everywhere on the surface of the earth, in the oceans, in rivers and in saltwater ponds. About 71% of the earth is covered with salt water. Freshwater is water with a dissolved salt concentration of less than 1%.

Yes they do. Now as we know the vast majority of rivers are freshwater but they contain salt to a minimal degree since in the travel of rivers to the oceans they pick up mineral solids and deposit them in the ocean. ... Now there are a few exceptions to this that produce saltwater rivers, streams, and creeks.

Fresh water (or freshwater) is any naturally occurring water except seawater and brackish water. Fresh water includes water in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, icebergs, bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, and even underground water called groundwater.

Rivers, creeks, lakes, ponds, and streams are all freshwater habitats. So are wetlands like swamps, which have woody plants and trees; and marshes, which have no trees but lots of grasses and reeds. Freshwater accounts for only three percent of the world's water. (The rest is saltwater.)

Location: Saltwater fish are located in salt water, such as large oceans and seas. Freshwater fish, meanwhile, are located in lakes, rivers, ponds and streams.

Bays can also be found along the shores of lakes. Georgian Bay, for example, is a prominent bay in Lake Huron, one of North America's Great Lakes. Georgian Bay is located in Ontario, Canada. Freshwater Bay is a bay on the Swan River, near the busy urban area of Perth, Australia.

Freshwater pearls are grown in mussels living in rivers and lakes. These days, most pearls formed in freshwater come from China. Saltwater pearls, on the other hand, are created by oysters in oceans and originate from places such as Thailand, Australia, Indonesia and Tahiti, among others.

Freshwater ecosystems are the ecosystems in freshwater bodies, including rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, etc. In comparison, saltwater ecosystems are the marine ecosystems or ecosystems in oceans and seas.

There are two kinds of aquatic environments, which can sustain life. These are saltwater life zones and freshwater life zones. The major types of organisms found in aquatic environments are determined by the salinity of the water.

There are many types of freshwater ecosystems. Rivers, lakes, ponds and streams are the most common freshwater sources. Reservoirs, wetlands and groundwater sources are also considered freshwater ecosystems.
