Which of the following inland water bodies is the largest landlocked enclosed body of water by area on Earth, often referred to as a massive saline lake?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Caspian Sea is the world's largest inland body of water, variously classified as the world's largest lake or a full-fledged sea, bordered by Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Iran. Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake by surface area, Lake Baikal is the deepest freshwater lake, and the Aral Sea has shrunk dramatically due to irrigation diversions. Its waters are saline rather than fresh.
