Despite the fact that the planet Vulcan hasn't had any oceans for millions of years, the Vulcans developed a vocabulary of oceanographical terms from scientists' needs to describe discoveries about the planet's past. Vulcan does have several seas, similar in size to the Great Lakes of Earth's North America plus smaller lakes. Later settlement of colony planets with oceans and even later exploration of watery Class M planets as members of the Federation, led to further development of these terms.

One curious detail is that most Vulcans have an in-born aversion to water and are generally not comfortable swimming or diving. Medical researchers believe this is due to two factors: Large bodies of freshwater to swim in have been rare since the earliest historic times and the density of Vulcan tissues makes them non-buoyant, making swimming at the surface very strenuous. This aversion to water has disappeared in those beyond the third generation of Vulcan colonists of watery worlds and with those Vulcan offshoots, the Romulans.
