The words ocean and sea are used interchangeably, yet a sea is a body of water that is much smaller than an ocean. The term "seven seas" was used by the Mohammedan explorers before the 15th century. The "seven seas" included the Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, East African Sea, West African Sea, and China Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Indian Ocean.
