If we put enough wave energy generators on the sea. Is there ever a way we get the seven seas to be completely still?

      They want to stop the oceans from wobbling.

          The seven seas is an old term, basically meaning “all the seas”. It’s been around for a time.

            Thank you, I never heard it before. There are five oceans as far as I know.

              It’the term is kind of old fashioned, more used in poetry. Also there isn’t really consense over what the seven seas are. Some count Atlantic and Pacific as one each and add stuff like the carribbean, the gulf of Mexico America or the Mediterranean.

              Oceans aren’t seas, seas are now generally considered smaller bodies of water. It’s fairly arbitrary though so not really an important distinction. Language changes
