Caspian Sea as Freshwater
■■■■■
Despite its name implying a 'sea,' many people mistakenly remember the Caspian Sea as being a large freshwater lake, a collective false memory.
●
What People Remember
People recall the Caspian Sea as being a freshwater body of water, perhaps the largest freshwater lake in the world.
◉
What's Actually True
The Caspian Sea is the world's largest inland body of water by area, but it is saline (brackish), not freshwater, due to its endorheic basin.
