Oceanography

NOAA primarily uses a variety of tools and methods to study ENSO, including satellite observations, ocean buoys, and climate models. These tools help scientists monitor changes in sea surface temperatures, atmospheric pressure patterns, and the strength of trade winds to better understand and predict ENSO events.

On average, there are about 2 tsunamis per year that cause significant damage and loss of life. However, many smaller tsunamis occur annually that go unnoticed because they do not generate significant destruction.

The most important is sodium chloride; other salts are magnesium, potassium, calcium chlorides and of course many minor salts.

Some famous blizzards include the Great Blizzard of 1888 in the northeastern United States, the Blizzard of 1978 in the Midwest and Northeast, and the Storm of the Century in 1993 which affected the eastern United States. These blizzards caused significant disruption and damage due to the heavy snowfall and strong winds.

~71% of the earth is covered with water, of that ~97% is salt and ~3% is fresh

(2% of fresh water is frozen, only about 1% is available)

The total amount of dissolved salts in ocean water is referred to as "Salinity". :)

Where a freshwater river drains into an ocean, the fresh water may mix with the salt water ... this is called brackish water.

Ice or snow, due to the colder temperatures in polar regions. This frozen water can be found in glaciers, ice caps, and icebergs.

mainly from the arctic and antarctica. As they melt the fresh water goes in the ocean and rises water levels in the sea.Other fresh water sources can be found in lakes rivers and streams which originate in mountains. This is where bottled water is from.

Good Luck

Marine sediments are typically terrigenous in nature, which means they came from the land. Sediments that originate from the continents are called terrigenous.

The only way humans could possibly be responsible for a tsunami is if they set off about 20 atomic bombs at the bottom of the sea. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to cause a tsunami like a large earthquake or an underwater volcano erupting. Clearly their is no way to prove this was act wrath of God or Mother-nature it takes hydrogen vapor to produce such tremendous force. Water produces h30 one in a million molecules, now imagine a ripple effect of a million of these little guys. Now don't forget there are satellites orbiting the earth's atmosphere anyone with access to these toys at the right tectonic plate could cause devastating damage.....

The Arctic Ocean is the coldest ocean in the northern part of the world due to its high latitude location and the presence of extensive sea ice that reflects sunlight, preventing the water from warming up significantly.

The maximum depth of the Caribbean Sea is 25,197 feet.

An iceberg is the largest floating object we know of. In the case of iceberg B-15, which calved off Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf in 2000, this massive block of ice had a surface are of about 1,200 square miles! It was about the size of Jamaica! Use the link below to learn more and see a satellite photo - not that it really reveals the true size of this berg.

• Q= What is the Bentley Sub-Glacial trench?A= The Sub-Glacial is about 2,540 meters (8,333 feet) below sea level, the Bentley Sub-glacial Trench is the world's lowest dry elevation. Located in Western Antarctica, it was named for geologist Charles R. Bentley, currently a professor at the University of Wisconsin. Oddly enough, the the trench floor is covered by over 3,000 meters of snow and ice, which actually puts its surface above sea level.

The deep ocean floor and submarine sand reefs are all made up of limestone environment. Limestone is a sedimentary type of rock that can be found in many places. It falls to the ocean floor when tides rise and fall.

Substances that cannot be dissolved in water are typically nonpolar molecules, such as oil, fats, and wax. In general, substances with strong intermolecular forces that are not easily disrupted by water molecules will not dissolve in water. Examples include hydrophobic molecules like hydrocarbons and certain gases like oxygen and nitrogen.

Hydrological hazards such as floods, landslides, and droughts can occur in various locations around the world. However, they are most common in regions with high rainfall or areas prone to extreme weather events, poor drainage systems, deforestation, urbanization, or proximity to rivers and coastlines. Vulnerable regions include South and Southeast Asia, parts of Africa, Central and South America, and some regions in Europe and North America.

There is currently (as of 2009) three series of Blue Water High

The oceans are Full of life, yet there is no air, crushing pressure (at greater depths) and sometimes, dangerous animals.
oceans are extreme because they are simply unpredictable in many ways. the pressure is too much for humans to take so the farther we go the more danger. also. the farther we go the more un discovered marine life we may find meening probable danger.

Most of Earth's fresh water is stored in ice caps, glaciers, and underground aquifers. These sources hold about 69% of the world's fresh water, with only a small percentage readily available in lakes, rivers, and atmospheric moisture.

Surface waves are primarily caused by earthquakes rather than winds. Earthquakes generate seismic waves that propagate along Earth's surface, leading to ground shaking. Winds, on the other hand, primarily generate ocean surface waves rather than seismic surface waves.

Anaklusmos -im not sure if that's how u spell it though

answer2

it is spelled ανακλυσμός (anaklusmos) pronunced as anaklismos
