Here's why:
* Sentence: A sentence expresses a complete thought and contains a subject and a verb.
* Subject: "The sea" is the subject of the sentence, the thing being discussed.
* Verb: "became" is the verb, describing the action of the sea.
* Adjective: An adjective describes or modifies a noun. "Rough" is an adjective in this sentence, but it's not the whole sentence itself.
