Would you find more oxygen in ocean water in the northern latitudes or near the equator?
northern latitudes
How is it that the East Pacific Ocean used to never have hurricanes?
This is not true. Hurricanes have always been abundant in the East Pacific, though at somewhat lower latitudes than the Atlantic due to the cold coastal currents.
Why don't hurricanes occur in the high latitudes?
Hurricanes require warm ocean water to form and maintain their strength. The water in the higher latitudes is too cold.
What is a Thermocline and where it is?
A thermocline is a rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean. Depending on the latitude and season, thermoclines can be present or absent and vary in depth of occurrence, however a thermocline will usually be found in the mesopelagic zone.
What is an effect in an increase of ocean temperature?
increased precipitation
How do the sea and wind affect the climate of the Caribbean islands?
Hi, Warm ocean currents from lower latitudes (between the tropic of cancer & capricorn) warm up the islands. These are caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere and ocean (because of the placement of the direct rays of the sun). Hope this helped you!
What is a thermocline and where is it located?
A thermocline is a rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean. Depending on the latitude and season, thermoclines can be present or absent and vary in depth of occurrence, however a thermocline will usually be found in the mesopelagic zone.
What is the temperate ocean weather like?
The temperate of ocean weather is quite varied depending on the particular regions and depths. Temperatures at low latitudes can be as low as -1.9 degrees Celsius and those on high latitudes go as high as 36 degrees Celsius.
Why do hurricanes happen between tropical latitudes and not an higher latitude?
Hurricanes depend on very warm ocean water to sustain themselves. The waters of higher latitudes are not warm enough.
