Oceanography

A mix of fresh and salt water is called brackish water. It usually occurs in estuaries where rivers meet the sea.

Pangaea was located in both the northern and southern hemispheres. It was a supercontinent that existed about 335 million years ago and included most of the Earth's landmasses before breaking apart.

The most popular animal in the Atlantic Ocean is likely the Atlantic cod, as it is one of the most commercially important fish in the region, supporting fishing industries and economies.

Sea erosion is when after a long peiod of time the rocks start to weaken and create a dent in the rocks by oceans and waves crashing on them! The erosion of the land by the constant battering of the sea, primarily by the processes of hydraulic action, corrasion, attrition, and corrosion is what Sea erosion is.

Surfers are carried along by the energy and momentum of the breaking wave. By paddling to match the speed of the wave and then standing up on their board, surfers can harness this energy to ride along the face of the wave. They use a combination of balance, skill, and positioning to maintain their position on the wave and ride it to shore.

Here are some of the names of some types of corals

purple squirter, fringing reefs, barrier reefs, atoll reefs.

The dependent variable in a float or sink experiment is whether the object being tested floats or sinks in water. This variable is influenced by factors such as the object's density and volume, which determine its buoyancy in the water.

The phylum name of the Giant Green Anemone is Cnidaria.

Heat from the sun warms the surface of the ocean, causing the water to expand and become less dense. This warm water then moves towards colder regions, creating ocean currents as it cools and sinks. The rotation of the Earth, winds, and differences in salinity also play a role in the formation of ocean currents.

It's hard to measure how long fish live in the wild. But the fish that has lived the longest in any aquarium in the world is Granddad, an Australian Lungfish that lives at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.

From the official website: "Fully mature when he arrived from Sydney for the Chicago World's Fair of 1933, he is at least 80 years old-and possibly much older. At 25 pounds and 4 feet long, he hangs out like a sunken log on the bottom of his habitat in Waters of the World with four other - and considerably younger! - lungfish."

Stars were an important navigational tool for people escaping slavery on the Underground Railroad because they provided a guide for direction at night. The North Star, in particular, was used as a reference point for travelers heading north towards freedom. By following the stars, enslaved individuals could travel safely and avoid detection.

The person that studies coral reefs is called a coral reef biologist. This type of scientist spends time underwater to study the status of coral reefs and also looks into the effects of other factors to the preservation of coral reefs.

The boundry between the surface water and deep water.

We know that warm water stays atop cold water. In fact, the change in temperature is abrupt, not gradual. The warm water layer is almost uniform in temperature. So is the cold water layer below. The dividing interface---pycnoline---is where the temperature changes from warm to cold.

New moon is happening once a month and it is the visibility and the location of the moon meanwhile high tide happens every day which means the nearest point between moon and earth and low tide is the other way around which means the farthest point between moon and earth, it could be high tide somewhere in the world and low tide in another part of the world as it takes the water from somewhere to somewhere else.

It is Extremeley hard to find anything on animals of the tertiary period (if that is what you are refering to by"TERTIARY") Good luck though! It is Extremeley hard to find anything on animals of the tertiary period (if that is what you are refering to by"TERTIARY") Good luck though!

The abyssal zone extends from 4,000 to 6,000 meters below the ocean's surface. It is characterized by extremely high pressure, low temperatures, and complete darkness. Organisms in this zone have adapted to survive in these extreme conditions.

Ocean water has a higher salinity level due to the presence of dissolved salts, while fresh water has a lower salinity level. Ocean water is also denser and can support different types of marine life compared to fresh water ecosystems. Additionally, ocean water covers a much larger percentage of the Earth's surface compared to fresh water.

Waves can change shorelines through processes like erosion, transport, and deposition. Erosion happens when waves remove sediment from a shoreline, transport moves sediment along the coast, and deposition occurs as waves deposit sediment in new locations. These processes can shape and change shorelines over time.

Salinized water refers to water that contains high levels of salts, such as sodium chloride. This can happen through natural processes or as a result of human activities like irrigation and industrial processes. Salinized water can be harmful to ecosystems and agriculture because excessive salt levels can affect soil quality and plant growth.

Since the beginning of time, countless numbers of tsunamis have hit the United States and its territories. However, many of these tsunamis have not hit contiguous states, and were directed at Hawaii.

The Antarctic continent doubles in size during the austral winter, because the ocean around it freezes. This occurs because the sun sets and does not rise again until spring.

During the summer season when the sun is up, the ocean water is always warmer than the ambient air on the continent.

The Antarctic ice cap was found to be an abundant source of fresh water. This ice contains an estimated 70% of the world's freshwater reserves, making it a critical resource for both scientific research and potential future use in addressing global water scarcity issues.

Niagara Falls is not the largest waterfall in North America. It is actually the second largest waterfall by flow rate after the Boyoma Falls in Africa. However, Niagara Falls is one of the most well-known and visited waterfalls in North America.

Hot water can hold more salt than cold water because the heat causes the water molecules to move farther apart, allowing more salt molecules to dissolve. Conversely, cold water has a higher density, so it can dissolve less salt.

When rock layers bend and buckle it creates mountains. For example, the Rocky Mountains in the west are millions of years younger than the Appalachian Mountains in the east forming from two separate incidents of buckling.
