How thick is the mixed layer?
it is the layer between the surface and the depth at which the density is 0.02 kg/m3 higher than the surface density. (or 0.03 or ... the way to calculate the mixed layer depth (MLD) is still in discussion). So if the waters are stratified, like in August in Mediterranean sea, the MLD is of few centimeters... when there are waves and winds and convection the MLD increase. For example in the south atlantic during the austral summer the MLD vary from 40m to 100m depth. In winter the MLD reached the bottom in 2006 in the Ligurian Sea (between France and Corsica), so the MLD was of 2000m depth ! It was due to a strong convection. In winter in the North Atlantic it is generally of 900m depth. And in the South atlantic (roaring 50th) it is of 500m on average (during winter). So it is impossible to answer your question! it is from 1cm to 2000m depth !!
What are the three temperature layers of ocean water?
the first layer is the surface layer it is nice and warm and mixed with the waves. the next layer is the thermocline it is just warm not any thing special. the next is freezing cold i would not want to go there.
Which factor causes lateral resolution to vary with depth?
beam width
How does the strength of continental crust vary with depth?
The strength of continental crust generally increases with depth due to higher pressure and temperature. The top layer of continental crust, known as the brittle upper crust, is more prone to fracturing and faulting, while the deeper layers become more ductile and can deform plastically under stress.
Does kerosene and petrol form a single layer on mixing?
Yes, they can be homogeneously mixed ('one layer' fluid) in each random ratio, but not with water.

The mixed layer is thickest at the?
The mixed layer is generally thickest at the surface of the ocean where wind forcing and surface heating or cooling have the greatest impact on mixing. This layer extends from the surface to a certain depth, typically a few hundred meters, and plays a key role in distributing heat, nutrients, and gases throughout the upper ocean.
What the is thermocline?
The transition layer between the mixed layer at the surface and the deep water layer.
Where does the largest temperature change occur in the mixed layer and why?
The largest temperature change occurs at the base of the mixed layer where it meets the thermocline. This is because the mixed layer is in direct contact with the atmosphere and undergoes rapid temperature changes due to heating from the sun and cooling from wind and evaporation. As the mixed layer interacts with the thermocline, which is characterized by a sharp temperature gradient, the temperature change is accentuated.
What is the mixed layer?
many moons
How does the atmosphere vary with altitude?
How does liquid pressure vary with depth
What is the layer in the ocean where the temperature varies with depth?
Thermocline
How is the ocean layered?
Mixed Layer Main Thermocline Deep Water Layer
How does water pressure vary with depth?
Water pressure increases as depth increases.
How does atmosphere pressure vary with altitude?
How does liquid pressure vary with depth
Why does the temperature in the thermocline decrease with depth?
The sun can't reach the thermocline layer to heat that depth of water
