Answer 1

SEA - a very large saline lake or saline body of water that is usually connected to the ocean. It can be landlocked.

RIVER - A river is moving water that travels over continents flowing either from gravity or the land's elevation. It usually empties into another body of water.(lake, sea. gulf, ocean, another river)

- communication system for emergency - battery operated

Answer 2

1a) A sea is generally a large lake or a body of water connected to the ocean by only a small inlet. Refer to the Dead or Black Sea.

1b) A river is a flowing body of water that originates from a source (springs). It empties into the ocean or a sea

1c) A lake is an isolated body of water that is replenished by rain or man made means. It is rarely connected to an inlet or outlet.
