its a Lake if you can use a boat on it

and naturally formed

why are the great lakes not seas?

they actually are

ah, but they are called lakes!

nah, its a lake if its not salt-water

seas have salt water

in the netherlands we had the southern sea (the big water thing in the center)
But we built a giant dam to close it off, and the water turned non-salty

So we renamed it to the Ijselmeer (ijsel lake)

so, then you need to test the water to determine if they are a sea? in some manner. You can't tell by looks alone

well, you can lick it 😛

and i guess you can tell by looks, by observing what marine animals utilise it

licking it is testing it

smell is also technically a test

but yes, staring at the water is not gonna tell you if its salty or non-salty

also, i do not believe salt is required to be a sea. or more specifically that a sea is not a lake.

it actually is

is the dead sea not also a lake?

Definition of sea
1 a : a great body of salt water that covers much of the earth; broadly : the waters of the earth as distinguished from the land and air

hmm, i guess it also would matter how its connected to the other seas

Lake:

a large body of water surrounded by land.

A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake.

the dead sea is both a sea and a lake.

its a salt-lake 😛

lmao

yeah so i guess the difference between a sea and a lake is that a lake is closed off

actually, i think they are not mutually exclusive.

i think its mostly what its been dubbed first

the dead sea, is a salt-lake

but they didn't change it cuz its less touristy that way? 😛

so the dead sea is a lake, but i don't think the Mediterranean sea really counts as a lake since its basically the ocean.

"I'm going on holiday to visit the dead-lake" 😄

i don't think the word dead is any more touristy

well the Midterranian sea is connected to the atlantic ocean

exactly.

hence why i wouldn't really call it a lake. So you can have a lake that is also a sea, but a sea does not have to be a lake

and it serves as a mid-sea that also connects the Black Sea i believe

like i said, i think its just what the natives used to call it thats just taken

for less confusion

so getting back to the point, no, you can't tell a lake just by looking at it. Not in an objective fashion which gets back to my point about the "race" of white people being subjective. very subjective. So subjective that it changes depending on the person you ask.

true

personally, i think the "white race" is anyone that if you just look at them you can go "yes... you're definately caucasian skinned" 😛

but thats about it

intelligence is a regional factor aswell as nutrition and nurturing so you can't tell that way
genetics are sooooo diverse that you can't really point it out that way because heck, why go for race and not by people with haircolor or teeth formation

the shape of someones nipples
