So the major oceans are all connected freely.
But not the same level.
I've always wondered how?????
To my tiny brain water is self leveling.
Tip a bucket half full of water and the water is still level.
Dig an uneven hole and fill it with water and the water is level.
So why are oceans not all level?
I used to wander why they built the Panama Canal with locks.
When i was a kid I thought just dig a trench and let boats go back and forth....but the water level isn't level.....so I will ask you smart people who know why.
