- We all know Australia is “girt by sea” … but if you want to be precise, it’s actually more girt by oceans.

The planet is about 70% water - and Australians should know that better than most. But there are some interesting rules for how bodies of water are named. What makes an ocean, and what defines a sea? What's the different between a gulf and a bay? There are widely agreed upon naming conventions, but there are also plenty of interesting exceptions around the world.

I came to learn the difference between a gulf and a bay but learned a lot about Australia too. Thanks!
My brain is hurtin'.
Someone put a lot of thought into naming bodies of water.
I just wanted to know the difference between sea and ocean.
Exactly
She just bit around the bush
I thought I was alone 😂
So I came hear for ocean and sea. But there were all these add ons.

Adam Hilliard
Great Information
Just starting out Adam, but hopefully you'll be seeing more of these in the future :)
I was looking for the differences between ocean and sea, now I hate water in general, so many things and so little time to remember. Brilliant video anyways
What about "sound"?
In geography, a sound is a large sea or ocean inlet larger than a bay, deeper than a bight, and wider than a fjord; or a narrow sea or ocean channel between two bodies of land (see also strait). An example: the Cockburn Sound is an inlet of the Indian Ocean on the coast of Western Australia.
That was funny as hell...
Great explinations! Havnt found any other video assembling names for bodies of Water this clear Thx!!
So this is basically another “what are continents?” situation where we don’t know entirely know what these geographical features are and just ignore what we made.And it’s an awful way to divide a section of land or water so we can more easily understand it
Great, short and educational. Thanks ABC!
This is beautiful, amazing and perfection !
SN: Came here for seas & oceans and got alot more
Thanks . This video helped me to learn many things. Please share more informative videos . Best of luck. 👍👍
Tomorrow is my paper I was so nervous but u explained it so well that now I am confident 😊
That's a lot of important information in a single video and explained brilliantly
well i got more than i intended to learn, now my knowledge is enriched...thank you Australian Chinese girl; your wisdom, knowledge and pretty face gave me all kinds of tingly feelings
Hope I could give it more number of likes than these geological structures you tought...Nice job👍🏻
One small correction, the earth isn't 70% water. The earths surface is covered 70% by water. But, water is only 0.02% of the earths total mass, most of it is rock.
Thanks very informative.
Love this. Im new to sailing and so im learning all these myself
Very informative, thank you for the this video.
Oh I went to school in Houston and they had these things as “Bayou”.. like a less swamp river stream
Was watching it for Gulf and Bay and hell yeah I feel informed more than I could get in school
Great presentaion. Very professional.
Australia is not bordered by the Southern Ocean even tho' , for some unknown reason Australians are told that it is. Officially the Southern Ocean begins around 66 degrees south while Australia only reaches about 47 degrees south. The Ocean which lies south of W.A, S.A. and to the eastern most point of Victoria is the Indian Ocean.
Informative...really appreciate it....thank you!
That was Brilliant . Got to learn so much in such a short time.

"Gulf" of Guinea? "Bay" of Bengal? "Gulf" of Alaska?! Those definitions are meaningless.
Astonishingly cool, YO!
Wow! So many fun facts!
sensational

I'm treating ocean and sea as synonyms ☺️
What about the Beaches?
So what about Fiords (Fjords) in Norway?
how nice
Things we say everyday and don't think why they are called what they are called.
good
We used to have this thing called "geography class" in which all this was taught.
We have this thing called forgetting in which you don't remember things and have to look them up again.

Wow!
My brain hurts 😂
Wow... I feel illiterate, why didn't my school teach me this?🤔... oooo I know, because my parents pay very little property taxes. 😅

So this is where my tax money went
Yes and excellent value for my tax money I would say.
I get annoyed because British people keep calling the open ocean the sea.
So it's really the Gulf of Mexico??
Hi
The Southern Ocean is not recognised by all nations. The Ocean's on the southern coast of Australia are actually the Indian and the Pacific. Please exercise due diligence with your reporting. You are starting to slip ABC.
Hey Wayne! Thanks for your comment. The Australian Hydrographic Service - the Commonwealth Government agency responsible for the publication and distribution of nautical charts and other information required for the safety of ships navigating in Australian waters - does actually recognise the Southern Ocean, so that's the ruling we've gone with for this video. www.hydro.gov.au/factsheets/WFS_Names_and_Limits_of_Oceans_and_Seas_Around_Australia.pdf
Thank you for the reply. But just because a government department from our country recognises something, It does not make it fact to the rest of the world. Borders and boundaries are a complex topic, so please do not simplify based on our own bias. Cheers.
Wayne Mahomet Most countries as well as the International Hydrographic Organization recognize the Southern Ocean. The only controversy is the exact northern boundary of it.
Wayne Mahomet Just because other countries ignore it doesn't mean it's wrong. I wasn't taught about the Southern Ocean in the USA but they neglect to teach us a lot of stuff in this country; very nationalistic.
Exactly! Its the boundary that I am talking about. Yes the southern ocean does exist, and internationally it is recognised. But for accurate reporting you must show the discrepancies between different nations determinations of the actual boundaries. Look I love the ABC, but they must continue to keep the highest levels of media reporting. Else they will lose the respect they have earned over the many years. Cheers for your comment.

What an accent !!!! I could not listen till the end
There's no such thing as the _“Souther Ocean”_ Australia! Why do you keep insisting on such nonsense?
Southern ocean is the same thing as the Antarctic ocean

Finally some meaningful and educational information from the ABC...... more of this and less left wing socialist dribble please
I like the fact this is not left wing snowflake propaganda that ABC has been sprouting recently. But it is by no means correct and educational. This from a long time fan of the ABC.
^^^^ These kinds of people suck. They are uneducated and just repeat shit politicians who are in company pocket's say. Get a brain for yourself Max T et al
What is a sound?
You lost me after the lakes. 🥲
It’s very informative, not designed to be grasped in one sitting,but still excellent. 👌
