A rapid change in density with depth in the ocean is called the?
pycnocline
The open ocean of any depth is called?
The open ocean of any depth, where animals swim or float freely is called a pelagic zone. Salinity variations in the open ocean normally ranges from 33 to 38 percent.
How does the temperature of the ocean change with depth?
Temperature decreases with depth because warm water is more dense and tends to stay at the top layers of the ocean. Of course, currents could also influence temperatures sometimes.
Which body of water can have a depth of 10000 meters?
ocean
What is the continental slope depth of the Atlantic ocean?
20,000 to 30,000 thousand miles
A rapid change in density with depth in the ocean is called the?
pycnocline
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
Which layer of the ocean experiences a rapid change in density with depth?
Pycncline
What influences density of ocean water?
Depth
What does the ocean of the depth called?
neritic zone
The layer in the ocean where the temperature varies with depth is called the?
Thermocline
The open ocean of any depth is called the?
the pelagic zone
The open ocean of any depth is called?
The open ocean of any depth, where animals swim or float freely is called a pelagic zone. Salinity variations in the open ocean normally ranges from 33 to 38 percent.
Derive a formula for the speed of ocean waves in terms of Density acceleration of free fall depth and wavelength?
barn
What is the movement of ocean water that is caused by the uneven heating and density of the ocean water?
It is called an ocean current
As someone goes dives deeper in a ocean they have more PSI acting upon them If this ocean was mercury would the same pressure be greater or less?
Pressure in a fluid at a certain depth H is proportional to the density of the fluid. Since Mercury has a much higher density then water it will exert a much larger pressure at the same depth.
A zone in which the ocean's salinity increases rapidly with increasing depth is called?
halocline
