The depth of seawater and exhibit a linear relationship because they decrease at constant rate. is the greatest factor that affects the density of seawater.
A/an is a graph depicting an oceanographic variable with water depth.
When water molecules warm up, they move away from each other. This occurrence is known as expansion.
The change in density due to depth creates a .
Density limits mixing of water with different densities.
Seawater is dense than fresh water.
Due to its long wavelength, is the first color of the visible light spectrum to disappear with depth.
Sound waves travel nearly five times in the ocean than they do in the atmosphere.
The dysphotic, or , zone is the area of the ocean between 200 meters and 1,000 meters depth where some light penetrates but isn't strong enough to support photosynthesis.
Due to decreased solar energy and below-average sea surface temperatures, the regions lack a thermocline.
The channel allows sound waves to travel great distances in the ocean.
