Bodies of Water (水体, 水域, 수역)

There are too many bodies of water in the world. Too many gulfs, too many straits, too many rivers, too many estuaries, too many seas, too many channels, too many sluices, too many oxbow lakes. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the physical bodies of water, they're the life blood of the earth (although some would argue their rising sea levels is causing land to disappear and bad for the overall health of the world) but there are too many NAMES of bodies of water that we need to know about, like every body of water has to have a name. There's recently the big controversy about the Gulf of Mexico being called the Gulf of America, a silly debate really about names and labels and symbolism of American strength.....that gulf, whatever you want to call it, is important because it has large chunks of America and Mexico bordering it, and is a huge body of water flowing into the Caribbean Sea with all those islands. The Great Lakes are named the great lakes for a season: they're so big and take up so much of the mass of North America that you have to get to know them, which states they border, etc. But do we really need to know GREEN BAY is part of Lake Michigan, that tiny sliver of Lake Michigan bordering Wisconsin (I know, coming from someone who grew up in Illinois this seems biased at best). Do we really need another name when it's all connected? I probably have tons of logical fallacies in this argument, and honestly geography is one of my favorite categories, but how many people in the world really need to know about Baffin Bay, or McMurdo Sound, or the Weddell Sea? Those are places that a tiny sliver of people working in extremely cold places only need to know, and even they proably get confused where the Ross Sea starts and the McMurdo Sound begins. Some of these bodies of water seem like downright plant-flagging, like hey I did something great or I claimed this land, I need my name on it, like the Magellan Strait, "world-renowned" for connecting the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean in southern Chile near Tierra del Fuego? Really, is it that important? It's not as great as the Panama Canal cutting through 2 big continents, you could just sail a little further south of Chile and go around that way if you really wanted to get through. (I'm probably just upset the other day I got Strait of Magellan mixed up with the other strait named for a famous explorer, the Cook Strait in New Zealand). I think some of this obscure geography facts does make non-trivia people roll their eyes, and the geographic stuff is easy and fun to write questinos about, but really difficult to find a use for in America on questions about the Gulf of Aqaba (you really going the Sinai Peninsula after you visit Egypt?) or the shrinking Sea of Azov. Sure, a sea is shrinking and might shrivel up. But that seems like a problem half a mile away. Other trivia categories seem.... a little more practical, or at least interesting. Every movie, book, song, or TV show tells some sort of story that is dynamic, with characters and plot and it changes, so people are interested about what happened and the conflict that people face. History is very useful about what the earth has gone through. Cars, corporations, fashion, food.......all every day uses, even if a little "corporatized" making it sound like an ad every time they promote a Blizzard from Dairy Queen or McFlurry from McDonald's. Anatomy and medicines/diseases are probably the most useful trivia of the bunch. But weird obscure places in the world very few people ever go to or care about? Hard sell, which is why nature documentaries have to put animals in them otherwise people tune out.
