Francesca is absolutely correct!!
In the case of Kai and Umi, here are two examples:
1) 海 - This character is read as 'umi,' which by itself means simply 'sea.'
2) 東海 - These characters are read as 'toukai,' which means 'East Sea.'
If this is confusing, don't worry as even Japanese people have problems sometimes with knowing which way to read the characters!!
