In which body of water is oxygen and thermal stratification most likely to occur?

Still water, with no eddies or currents.
Turbulent water will mix oxygen and thermal levels. Still water will develop gradients.
In still water, above 0°C the surface will be warmest and contain the most oxygen, the bottom will be coldest and contain the least oxygen.
In water with atmosheric temperatures below 0°C, the surface will be coldest, being frozen, and temperature either increasing on the way down, or increasing towards the middle, then cooling again, depending on depth. Oxygen levels are generally consistant throughout in bodies of water with a frozen surface.

Where does stratification occur?
Stratification occurs on the ocean floor beds where sediments layer up into layers
Magnesium has 2 valence electrons and oxygen has 6 valence electrons what type of bonding is likely to occur between a magnesium atom and an oxygen atom?
Ionic
When is hydrogen bonding most likely to occur?
It is a common bond between hydrogen and nitrogen, fluorine, oxygen because these elements are highly electronegative.
What does not occur in photosynthesis?
Release of oxygen does not occur.
What must be present for combustion to occur?
heat, fuel, and oxygen
When does Thermal stratification occur?
Thermal stratification occurs when the temperature of a body of water varies at different depths, with colder water sinking and warmer water rising. This is most common in lakes during the summer when the surface water warms up faster than the deeper water. Thermal stratification can also occur in oceans and reservoirs.

What is more likely to occur in the water thermal energy transfer by conduction or convection?
Convection
What is water stratification?
Water stratification is the layering of water with different temperatures and densities in natural water bodies, such as lakes and oceans. This layering can occur due to differences in temperature, salinity, and density, which can create distinct layers that do not mix easily. Water stratification can impact nutrient distribution, oxygen levels, and the overall health of aquatic ecosystems.
Where do wildfire most likely to occur?
anywhere with adequate heat, oxygen, and fuel
What will happen when lead nitrate is heated strongly?
A thermal decomposition reaction occur: lead oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen are obtained.
Magnesium has 2 valence electrons and oxygen has 6 valence electrons what type of bonding is likely to occur between a magnesium atom and an oxygen atom?
Ionic
Can hydrogen gas be explosive in the presence of oxygen?
Yes! If pure hydrogen is mixed or put with oxygen it is very likely that an explosion will occur. I hope this information helped!! Jordannn
Volcanoes and earthquakes are likely to occur?
Yes, they are likely to occur.
When is hydrogen bonding most likely to occur?
It is a common bond between hydrogen and nitrogen, fluorine, oxygen because these elements are highly electronegative.
What is required for combustion to occur?
oxygen
When is victimization most likely to occur when?
Victimization is most likely to occur when
