If the question was , "these seas are warm and shallow", would "ezek tengerek melegek és sékelyek" be the correct answer?

"These are seas, warm and shallow ones." You forgot the comma, though. :B
If you have the adjectives in front of the noun in English, you also have them in front of the noun in Hungarian.
Is it wrong to include the definite article? "Ezek a meleg és sekély tengerek"?
It is not wrong, but only if you also do it in the English sentence:
"These are the warm and shallow seas."

That rule accounts for both van and vannak (and conversely for nincs, nincsenek, sincs, and sincsenek). All other conjugation forms of van are included as normal.

The grammar is the wrong way around. You translated "These seas are warm and shallow." Also, if the adjectives are not in front of the noun, you need to pluralise them as well if the noun is pluralised: melegek és sekélyek.

That would translate to "These seas are warm and shallow". You are saying what these seas are like, but the original sentence wants to tell what "these" are.

I wrote "Ez a meleg és sekély tengerek", many times "azok a" and "ezek a" appeared as this is a solid structure. A word combination. And suddenly you don't need "a" there... C'mon! Sometimes it becomes toooooo random. You seem to figure out the rules, but exercises surprise you =( I'm upset
