The Baltic Sea is like a big swimming pool that connects several countries and lets water and creatures move around freely.
How It's Like A Playground For Water
Imagine you have a large sandbox that’s connected to other sandboxes through little tunnels. When you pour water into one sandbox, it can flow through the tunnels into the others. This is similar to how the Baltic Sea works, it connects different areas like a big lake and lets water move in and out.
The Water Can Come And Go
Some parts of the Baltic Sea are deeper than others, just like some spots in your sandbox might be higher or lower. When the tide comes in, it’s like when someone gives your sandbox a gentle push, more water flows in. When the tide goes out, it's like when you scoop water out with a bucket.
The sea is also home to fish and other creatures that swim around, just like how you might run around in your sandbox, playing and having fun!
