Sea water appears blue due to the way it absorbs and scatters sunlight. Water molecules absorb colors in the red part of the light spectrum, while blue light is scattered and reflected back to our eyes, making the sea water appear blue.
Sea water appears greenish-blue due to the absorption and scattering of sunlight by water molecules. Water molecules selectively absorb longer-wavelength colors like red and yellow, leaving shorter-wavelength colors like blue and green to dominate the reflected light. The presence of phytoplankton and algae in the water can also contribute to a greenish hue.
If you are referring to the different depths of blue and green, it is because the deeper the water is, the darker the color. The reason for this is because the deeper the water, the less sunlight can penetrate through to the floor and reflect back out.
In general open expanses of water reflect whatever colour is predominant in the environment. This usually tends to be the sky colour. If the sky is clear, water in the sea or lakes will appear blue. If the sky is dull, so also will be the water surface. The tap water in the glass will still usually be clear.
Yes, there is the Laticauda Laticaudata. It's a species common in the zones near the indian ocean. The lenght varies with sex, males are a little bit smaller than females: the first one can be 9 meters long, the second one can be 10 or more meters long.And they are know for being only blue, even if a similar snake is know for being only yellow, and it's called Laticauda colubrina.
Yes, a coin does sink slightly faster in pure water than it does in sea water. The dissolved salts in sea water make the water denser, and as a result, objects immersed in sea water will experience greater buoyancy than they do in fresh water.
sea water is in blue colour because of the sky's reflection
They live in the sea. the water color is blue They live in the sea. the water color is blue
Because the water reflects the color of the sky, and the skies are blue.
No
sea water
water in ocean or sea is colored blue because of the replection of the blue sky... water is colorless...
The colour of the sea is greenish blue because of the reflection of the sky
black blue
The sea is not blue. It is actually clear, but the density of the salt water, with plankton algae and other organisms, catches the color of the sky which is usually blue, making the sea appear blue. I don't know why the sky is blue and idk why the red sea is red. Lol
The color of sea water varies with the location. Near the shore, the water stirred up in the surf is more greenish, but way out to sea, deep water is more dark blue.
The sea water is a greenish blue colour, (The greenish colour comes from the abundant plankton that thrive within the water.)
