What happens to persure as you descend into the ocean?
Pressure increases as you descend into the ocean due to the weight of the water above pressing down on you. For every 10 meters of depth, pressure increases by about 1 atmosphere (approximately 14.7 pounds per square inch). This can cause discomfort for our bodies and may require specialized equipment for deep-sea exploration.
What is a rapid change in ocean density with change in depth called?
A rapid change in ocean density with depth is called a thermocline. This thermocline is caused by variations in temperature and can impact ocean circulation and marine life distribution.
What makes wind and ocean currents change direction?
Wind and ocean current direction can be influenced by factors such as the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), temperature differences, pressure systems, and the geography of the land and sea. These factors can cause the movement of air and water to change direction as they respond to changes in these variables.
In what ways are weather and climate similar?
Weather and climate are similar in that they both involve the conditions of the atmosphere, such as temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns. They both also change over time and can be influenced by factors like air pressure and ocean currents.
How do you Summarize the properties (temperature salinity density) you would expect to find at different depths of the ocean?
In general, as you descend deeper into the ocean: temperature decreases, salinity tends to increase due to evaporation and freezing processes, and density rises due to the combined effects of temperature and salinity variations. These properties play a crucial role in shaping the ocean's circulation patterns and influencing marine life distribution.
Why is a submersible needed to descend to the bottom parts of the ocean?
A submersible has to be used, as it has been built specially to withstand the tremendous pressure in the deep ocean depths.
How the temperature difference will change if you are near an ocean?
how the temperature difference would change if st. louis were next to an ocean
What happens to temperature and pressure as you go deeper into the ocean?
Because the deeper you go the more water you have on top of you, every 10 meters you go under water, you have another atmosphere on top of you, the wieg that is pressed to you is what causes the pressure
How much pressure is there 1 mile under the Atlantic Ocean?
The pressure 1 mile under the Atlantic Ocean is approximately 2,300 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure increases as you descend further into the ocean due to the weight of the water above.
What effects do ocean currents have on the ocean?
they change the oceans temperature.

What is a Zone of rapid change in ocean temperature is called the?
A rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean is called thermocline. A rapid change in density with depth in the ocean is called the pynocline.Thermocline
Does the pressure in the ocean change the shape of a glass bottle?
Yes, the pressure in the ocean can potentially change the shape of a glass bottle. The external water pressure increases the deeper you go in the ocean, which can lead to the bottle being compressed or deformed due to the difference in pressure inside and outside the bottle.
What role does temperature and pressure play in ocean dynamics?
Juice fool.
Would ocean temperature change cause earthquake?
Ocean temperature change can potentially cause earthquakes through a process called "thermal expansion-induced stress." As ocean temperatures rise, water expands and applies pressure on the seafloor, which can trigger underwater landslides and movements along fault lines, potentially leading to earthquakes. However, ocean temperature change alone is not usually the direct cause of earthquakes and is just one of many factors that can contribute to seismic activity.
What 3 factors affect where ocean life is found?
temperature, light, pressure
