What is the difference between an open water zone and a deep water zone?

An open water zone, often referred to as the pelagic zone, is the area of the ocean that is far from shore and includes the upper layers where light penetrates, supporting photosynthesis and a variety of marine life. In contrast, a deep water zone, or the abyssal zone, is characterized by extreme depths, darkness, and high pressure, where sunlight does not reach, resulting in a unique ecosystem with specially adapted organisms. The key differences lie in depth, light availability, and the types of organisms that inhabit each zone.

What is the difference between a deep water wave and a shallow water wave?

The basic differences are that the deep water wave "spreads out" and moves very quickly across open water. Wave height is not "significant" in these waves. When the wave reaches shallow water, however, it "slows down" at the leading edge. This causes the wave to "bunch up" and increase in height, even to dangerous proportions. A 20 or 30 metre high wave would devastate a shoreline, but would be hardly noticeable if it passed beneath a ship in deep water.

Why do put hot water on a deep splinter?

Applying hot water to a deep splinter can help soften the skin, making it easier to remove the splinter without causing further damage or pain. The warmth can also help to open up the pores, possibly allowing the splinter to work its way to the surface on its own.
