Oceanography

"Phet" is a term commonly used in the Indian subcontinent to refer to a tropical cyclone. It typically denotes a powerful and destructive cyclonic storm that can bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and storm surges to coastal areas.

At the bottom of the ocean, where pressures are high and temperatures are near freezing, seawater can freeze because of a phenomenon called pressure freezing. Due to the extreme pressure, seawater can reach a temperature below its normal freezing point before it actually freezes. This can create brinicles, which are icicle-like structures that form undersea.

It is disolved air because it is contained in the water, and is not free air in the atmosphere.

Most bubbles in water are carbon dioxide. In a carbonated drink, this carbon dioxide gas that is put in the water (or Coke) under pressure, when the pressure is released the bubbles form. Even in pond water, the bubbles are likely caused by some small animal.

The Blake Plateau was named after the U. S.. Coast Survey ShipBlake which first sounded the area in 1881.

Approximately 100% of the ocean is covered in water.

Yes, Millerton Lake is a man-made reservoir created by the construction of the Friant Dam on the San Joaquin River in California. It was built for irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power generation purposes.

Ocean currents are responsible for mixing heat evenly throughout the ocean. These currents transport warm water from the equator towards the poles and bring cold water from the poles towards the equator, helping to regulate global temperature. Winds also play a role in driving ocean currents and redistributing heat.

The highest salinity levels are typically found in enclosed bodies of water with high evaporation rates, such as the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake. These areas have limited freshwater inflow and high concentrations of dissolved salts, resulting in extremely high salinity levels.

Saltwater will stay salty as long as there are dissolved salts within the water. Once these salts precipitate to form salt crystals the water will no longer be salty. However, the temperature and amount of salt in the water will control the rate of salt precipitation and therefore, the length of time the water stays salty.

No, icebergs are made of freshwater. They form from compacted snow that falls on land and then flows into the ocean as glaciers. Saltwater ice formations are typically sea ice, not icebergs.

A continental rise forms where the continental slope levels off, and sediment accumulates due to gravity transporting sediments downslope from the slope above. This is a gentle accumulation of sediments deposited by turbidity currents, rivers, and other geological processes at the base of the slope.

Sylvia Earle is a renowned oceanographer and marine biologist. She is also an explorer, author, and lecturer who has dedicated her life to researching and advocating for the protection of the world's oceans.

The Coriolis force was described by French mathematician and engineer Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis in 1835. He formulated the concept to explain the deviations in the motion of objects on a rotating surface.

Two sources of oxygen in seawater at the surface include atmospheric exchange, where oxygen from the air dissolves into the water, and photosynthesis by marine plants and phytoplankton, which produce oxygen as a byproduct.

Asia was the continet that wasnt part of it.

Flora and fauna underwater are important because they contribute to the overall health and balance of aquatic ecosystems. Plants provide oxygen and food sources, while animals help regulate populations and maintain biodiversity. Without a diverse range of flora and fauna, underwater ecosystems would be disrupted and potentially collapse.

Sulfate typically makes up about 7% of natural sea salts, so out of 1000 kilograms, approximately 70 kilograms would be sulfate.

they drink water from a lake or river so that water is basicly fresh water so i guess you can say fresh water

Water in a wave moves in a circular motion, with the water particles moving in an orbital path and not moving very far forward as the wave passes through. This movement is a transfer of energy rather than a transfer of water mass.

The Arctic Ocean is stratified and has limited vertical mixing of water because of its cold temperatures and the presence of a halocline, which is a layer with a sharp decrease in salinity. This halocline acts as a barrier to vertical mixing by preventing the movement of water between different layers.

estuary. It is a partially enclosed coastal body of water where freshwater from rivers and streams mixes with salty seawater. Estuaries are rich and productive ecosystems that support diverse marine life.

The moon affect the ocean tides because of the gravitational pull that the moon has. Where the is a high tide, the moon is pulling the water toward it's gravity. The water on the opposite side of Earth, will pull away from the moon.

Both salt and fresh water flow into one.

The definition is:

A semi-enclosed coastal body of water, which has a free connection with the open sea.

So it would be salt water.

Passive continental margins are not tectonically active, meaning there is no significant seismic activity or mountain-building processes occurring there. They are typically characterized by a wide continental shelf and a gentle slope leading to the ocean basin. Sediment accumulation is common along passive continental margins due to lower energy conditions compared to active margins.
