About

The word 海洋 is formed by combining two characters, 海 (hǎi), meaning "sea", and 洋 (yáng), meaning "ocean" or "vast expanse of water". It is a semantic compound where both components contribute related meanings, merging to create a single, more comprehensive concept that encompasses the whole body of salt water covering the Earth, effectively meaning "the ocean" in its totality.
