Is there a general term for a region in the ocean like the Bermuda Triangle? Like, on land, we call a stretch of land or strip of land. Is a stretch of water correct?
Edit: Just to clarify: I am looking for a term that can refer to any small part of the larger ocean whether it has geographical distinctions(such as being close to or surrounded by land) or not.
It is unclear whether the question is seeking a term that can be applied to any part of an ocean, even if its boundaries are entirely arbitrary, or a term for a body of water that seems intuitively distinct from the rest of the relevant ocean, because of its relationship to the surrounding geographic formations. If the former, then there is probably no term for it, other than something like body of water, but if the latter, the term is sea.
Sea or gulf for oceanic regions partially surrounded by land, otherwise, there's no special term I know of for oceanic regions. That said, technically the five "oceans" of the world are giant regions of the same global body of water.
