For the Exclusive Economic Zone, it extends for 200 nautical miles, approximately 370 kilometers off of the nations coast. Because of the dimensions of Caspian (436km at widest point), this claimed area accounts for the whole of the 'sea', and therefore leaves no extra for international waters.Not sure what the system is for a lake, though.

EEZ only restricts things like oil drilling or fishing or other economic activities. So for example, the Russians could drive a battleship through an EEZ without international penalties, whereas if it was divided like a lake with territorial boundaries equally dividing it, the Russians would need to get permission from every country whose territorial waters they would be crossing.

The Caspian is a hybrid lake-sea. There is no such thing as a lake with an ocean basin. The Caspian's southern half is oceanic. Only the northern half actually has a continental basin. Since its basin is partially oceanic and its water is adequately salty, the Caspian should be officially considered a sea, even though it is geologically a hybrid.

@@ignemuton5500 Actually, the type of basin a body of water has DOES contribute to its definition. The Caspian Sea is a hybrid sea because it is fully enclosed, has a continental basin, but also has an ocean basin because it was once directly connected to an ocean. The seawater over the top of a continental shelf is defined as a proper sea, gulf, bay, sound or strait, depending on its shape and function. If it's more of a brackish lake that's still connected to the ocean, it's basically a very big estuary. Seas generally extend past the continental shelf; bodies of seawater that do not are generally called gulfs or sounds. Or Hudson Bay. I have no idea why the sea coming off of the southeastern portion of Zealandia has no name.

Keep in mind that everyone started small though. Even businessmen like Trump who inherited their money from parents started out poor somewhere back in their family line. If you look at the grand scheme of things, every single success was originally no better than their "peers". I honestly think being successful is more luck than skill, though skill is still vital. Heck, even all species originated from ONE single species, called the last universal common ancestor. Mind = BLOWN! When you look beyond one's lifespan, everything is a matter of when, not if. Remember, we'll all become a failure (die) eventually, just depends on the age. All life on Earth would die 1 billion years later when the oceans dry from boiling from the sun getting hotter.

I'm a little bit late to this party, but in Serbian we do call it, in fact, Caspian lake (Kaspijsko jezero, Каспијско језеро). We were taught in school that "Caspian sea" is extremely outdated, but I do sometimes see some maps with "sea", although very, very, very rarely. When I first learned that it's called a sea in English, I was very surprised how this piece of information never got updated. Although "Holy Roman Empire" was not holy nor Roman nor an empire, so I guess I'm out...

I like to think of Great Salt Lake, Aral, and Caspian Seas to be "Basins" rather than lakes or seas. The vast majority of seas and lakes have both an inlet AND an outlet. Ponds generally are areas that have inlets and no outlets so they stagnate, and Basins trend toward salinity. Just my 2 cents. Great production value and subject!

Thank you for a great video and research. You are right that, the Caspian sea’s status is in the air. It is also very disastreaous for the sea’s ( or lake’s) ecology.

It is important to note that there are two definitions of the word sea, sea meaning large open expanse of water which is the Greco-Roman origin of the word, and sea meaning a body of salt water which is the middle Eastern origin of the word.

Tradition is only part of it. We've called many saltwater lakes 'seas' before, from the tiny Sea of Galilee to the somewhat larger Salton Sea that was created in 1905. Both of those lakes are very obviously mere lakes as it's possible to see the other end in good weather. But they're salty, sea is salty, hence...a sea.

Somebody should recommend this channel to geography now

This channel is pure gold

It’s the other way around. A lake has shared borders and a sea or ocean has maritime exclusion zones

I've been binging on your awesome videos for the last few days (as I'm guessing a lot of us have - thanks KZread algorithm!), and I really appreciate how thoroughly you research and explain such a wide range of topics. But this one seems a bit oversimplified, and I want to offer a counter-argument. While geography generally considers lakes to be enclosed bodies of water, that's not a sufficient definition to distinguish between a saline lake and an inland sea. If we're basing our definitions on arbitrary linguistic conventions, then sure, you can make a semantic argument either way, but there is a natural and somewhat meaningful distinction between an inland sea and a salt lake in their respective geological processes of formation. The Dead Sea in the Levant and the Salton Sea in California are two examples of misnamed saline lakes because they are the results of rifts in continental crust. The Caspian, like these two, is an endorheic basin - they all lack outflow, so they retain their salinity despite being fed by freshwater sources. But the Caspian is fundamentally different from the other two, because it was formed by an area of oceanic crust becoming encircled by continental crust. Its size and salinity don't make it a sea, but its geological composition does. A lake is landlocked because it formed (through erosion, glacial activity, tectonic rift, or whatever) on the surface of a continental plate. The Caspian Sea is landlocked because part of the ocean was isolated and surrounded by landmasses. They're two distinct phenomena, so they should be categorized to reflect that, rather than based on a list of characteristics that feel applicable.

Well, I doubt the publisher will ever see this, but I'll add my two cents anyway. Salinity aside, it could be said the Caspian is the largest SINGLE lake on earth. But, it really isn't. A comparison was made with Lake Superior and as a single lake the conclusion here would be correct. However, Lake Superior is not just a single lake. It is, in fact, a single continuous body of fresh water and the largest such body on earth. All five of the Great Lakes are interconnected (no canals needed) and flow from one to another until they pass over Niagra Falls to Lake Ontario and eventually down the Saint Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way these truly Great Lakes also get further input from Lake St. Claire (Detroit area) and the Georgian Bay (Canada) as well. This continuous body of fresh water is so vast it has an enormous effect on weather patterns, as any resident of the area can attest to the extremities of "Lake Effect" on local weatherl As a resident of this area for more decades than I'm willing to admit first hand knowledge and experience are my guide posts. Hope I've helped here.

What I find fascinating about the Great Lakes is knowing that Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are actually one lake. They form a single hydrological system, with a single water level, and currents that that flow in both directions through the Strait of Mackinac. The fact that they are linked in that way makes the combined Lake Michigan-Huron larger than Lake Superior in surface area. Superior is deeper, though, and contains a significantly larger volume of water than its downstream neighbor. Lake Superior is surpassed in volume, though, by Africa’s Lake Tanganyika, and Russia’s Lake Baikal. And the Caspian... um, Ocean.

This channel deserves more subscriber.

Interesting thing: in Chinese, "sea" and "lake" are two different characters with different meanings, almost as what's defined in the video. BUT, in some ethnic languages, north or south, they do call lakes "sea"! One example is the lakes in the Forbidden city in Beijing, are all called "sea"s. It's because the ruling Manchurian called lakes that way in their own language. Besides, in Chinese, the Caspian Sea is "里海", literally meaning "inner sea".

Since you mention them so much, would love to see you do a video about like different ethnic groups and their histories, name origins, etc? Think it'd be cool!

great presentation

Lol, I'm just waiting for flat earthers to try and debunk this, and come up with the idea that the government is lying, and that the Caspian sea truly is bigger.

And that Malaysia doesn't exist, or Greenland. Because conspiracy :P "I heard that the moon landings were faked from some youtube video, it's real I swear, just watch!!!"

The way that I've always understood the difference between a "lake" and "sea", is that water generally flows out of a "lake" and water only flows into a "sea". And by that definition, the Great Salt Lake, in Utah, is really an inland sea. Technically, I believe the Caspian Sea should be categorized as a sea because water only flows into it, not out it.

It'll always be a sea to me! Love your videos

Very informative, I can now better understand the difficulties of this issue.

Why not Sea of Baku?! 🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿 Edit: Thanks for Heart

Agree. This "lake" is large in size that the sea of Azov, the sea of Marmara and the Adriatic sea combined.

I've always thought it was a sea. Thanks!!!

Sea or lake or whatever it is the water and the view of it is so beautiful

This is a really strange problem because the Caspian was part of the ocean at one point. Just because tectonics land-locked it doesn't immediately make it a lake due to the processes that any other lake in the world was made from. They certainly weren't oceans once. It sounds more like we need a new word! However, given the implications you mentioned on other countries, it may be best to keep it divided rather than open to interpretation. I never thought about what changing the official term for the Caspian would do, so that was a great way to end the video!

Amazing video man! Keep it up! 👍🏻

I thought about liking this high quality and very informative video. And then the looming head of Putin entered the frame. That's when I knew: I have to give this a like!

I wish I knew where to find the map you use. The features (and especially the water) looks amazing at the zoom level of 0:58 to 1:24 and similar shots.

There is a pond where I live which is both salt and fresh water depending on if the tide is rising or falling. Also The river which flows out of it flows in both directions depending on the tide.

My name is Caspian!!!!!!!!
