Difficulty: EasyRegional and Locational Geography of the World

Arrange the following seas/water bodies in correct order of their geographical location from North to South.

  1. 1Baltic Sea
  2. 2Mediterranean Sea
  3. 3Red Sea
  4. 4Arabian Sea

Answer

The correct arrangement from North to South is Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, and Arabian Sea.
The Baltic Sea occupies the northernmost position among the listed water bodies in Northern Europe. Below it lies the Mediterranean Sea between Europe and Africa, followed by the Red Sea separating Africa from the Arabian Peninsula, and finally the Arabian Sea in the northern region of the Indian Ocean.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the approximate latitudinal position of each given water body.
Baltic Sea (~54°N to 66°N), Mediterranean Sea (~30°N to 45°N), Red Sea (~12°N to 30°N), Arabian Sea (~0°N to 25°N).
Degrees of latitude north of the Equator decrease as one moves southward.
2
Sequence the features from highest latitude (furthest north) to lowest latitude (furthest south).
Baltic Sea → Mediterranean Sea → Red Sea → Arabian Sea.
This reflects the correct geographic order from North to South.
