Some parts of an ocean turn over in the spring and others do not because of density. Cold water, usually due to ice, has high density making it sink to the bottom. In the spring when it warms up, the temperature rises and the water's density decreases and brings it back to the surface creating a turn over.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen to the strength of a hurricane if it moved over land or over a cold-water ocean?
The strength of the hurricane would decrease, as hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water.
How long can a drop of water spend in the ocean?
a drop of water may spend over 3,000 years in the ocean before moving on to another part of the water cycle
Does it rain salt water over the ocean?
No. Only PURE WATER evaporates from the ocean. It evaporates, rises into the atmosphere, and eventually cools down, condenses, and falls as rain. It may have some chemicals other than water in it, but they were picked up from the atmosphere. So, in a nutshell, only water rises from the ocean to make clouds/rain. The salt is left behind.
Why the water of the ocean is salty?
When water goes to the ocean, most of the time its by a river. When rivers travel over land it picks up particles like salt. When the river meets the ocean at the rivers delta the slowing of the speed of the river causes the bigger sized particles to get deposited at the bottom of the ocean. The smaller particles(salt) remain in the water making the water salty.
When pillow lava touch ocean water how hot do the ocean water turn?
When pillow lava touches ocean water, the temperature of the water can increase significantly, sometimes reaching temperatures above 500 degrees Celsius. This can create steam and explosive reactions as the lava rapidly cools in the water.
Can the ocean turn hair green?
Ocean water may interact with a chemical in your hair to turn it green. However, ocean water alone will not turn your hair green.
How did the ocean turn from green to blue?
The ocean did not turn different colors, the water has different hues depending on the environment and the animals or plants in the water. Also depends on the depth of the ocean floor the deeper it is the darker blue the water will look.
How did the ocean turn green to blue?
The ocean did not turn different colors, the water has different hues depending on the environment and the animals or plants in the water. Also depends on the depth of the ocean floor the deeper it is the darker blue the water will look.
Does the ocean water turn sea shells into sand?
yes
How do you turn water into salt?
You cannot turn water into salt. They are entirely different molecules built from totally different atoms. You can evaporate ocean water and the salt that was dissolved in the water will remain. Every liter of water from the ocean contains about 30 grams of salt.
Does the ocean turn green when theres lots of pollution?
I think that the ocean water turns green is by pollution
Can ocean water evaporate?
Yes, ocean water can evaporate. When the sun heats the surface of the ocean, water molecules become energized and turn into water vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere. This process is known as evaporation.
How much precipitation occurs over the ocean in the water cycle?
Precipitation over the ocean in the water cycle accounts for about 45 of the total global precipitation.
What process does water enter the atmosphere from the ocean?
Water enters the atmosphere from the ocean through a process called evaporation, where heat energy from the sun causes water molecules at the ocean's surface to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere.
Can water vapor take up about 4 percent of the air over an ocean?
Over a tropical ocean, yes.
Do hurricanes form in the ocean?
Yes. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water.
Do hurricanes start over warm water?
Yes. Hurricanes develop over warm ocean water.
