Oceanography

Upwelling in biology is the process in which nutrient rich soil that is located deeper in the ocean rises to the surface due to ocean currents and winds. This is important because it allows the organisms living at the surface to get their needed nutriends

Around 8 to 10 million cubic miles of Earth's water is considered fresh water, of which some 6 to 7 million cubic miles (more than two-thirds) is frozen in glaciers and the ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica.

The tidal range is the vertical difference between the high tide and the succeeding low tide.

No. If an earthquake happened in mid-sea then there would be a ring effect. If you were on a coast, waves normally come in and then move back out again.

On average, high tides are separated by about 12 hours and 24 minutes. The 12 hours is because of earth's rotation, and the 24 minutes is compensation for the movement of the moon. So low tides would be about half way through those 12 hour 24 minute periods.

The text of the World Heritage Site Convention specifies that a site is worthy for CONSIDERATION of such designation (ONLY if, of course, the government controlling the site requests such a consideration) if the site consists "of physical and biological formations or groups of such formations, which are of outstanding universal value from the aesthetic or scientific point of view". If the Grand Canyon does not meet that criteria, then no spot on this planet does so.

The U.S. government requested this designation, and UNESCO granted it. The U.S. government could, of course, withdraw this designation at any time; and UNESCO would have no choice but to remove it.

Well, dissolved oxygen impacts water quality because if the level of the dissolved oxygen is too low then organisms can die.

_________________________________________________________________

That is okay, but I want to what dissolved oxygen tests for.

------

For the water quality are tested:

- total oxygen demand (TOD)

- biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)

- chemical oxygen demand (COD)

- sometimes, carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD)

For details about the analytical procedures I recommend you to read a book or a collection of analytical methods for water, searching in a library or searching on the Internet.

According to sources, the life span in the wild is less than a year. very lucky jellyfish, although, can live for maybe 16-18 months. mostly those lucky ones are the box jellyfish because they are so deadly to all...

1. Ocean Thermal power.
2. Ocean Wave power.

The water table sits on top of the soil zone.

Estuaries and river deltas are areas where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean, resulting in lower salinity levels. The mixing of freshwater with saltwater creates a brackish environment suitable for unique ecosystems to thrive. These areas are important breeding grounds for many marine species due to the nutrient-rich waters.

The Pacific Ocean is located between the continents of Asia and North America. It borders Alaska and Antarctica. It is the largest ocean on planet Earth.

The Earth rotating and its tilt of the axis forms the oceans' tides and currents.

Ice caps are made of fresh water. When this ice melts into the ocean, it contributes to the salinity of the water in that area.

The Hadley cell is caused by the combination of the Earth's rotation and the unequal heating of the Earth's surface. As warm air rises at the equator, it moves towards the poles and descends around 30 degrees latitude, creating a circulation pattern known as the Hadley cell. This process is a result of the differential heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun.

Salted water and living organisms.

the sea looks blue as it reflects the colour off the sky;which is blue.

in actual fact, the sea-or any water-has no colour of its own

so if the sky was green, the sea would appear green too...

why the sky is blue... dont ask me!

:)

The average salt concentration in the Pacific Ocean is around 3.5%, which is equivalent to 35 grams of salt per liter of seawater. This percentage can vary slightly in different regions of the ocean due to factors like evaporation rates and freshwater input from rivers.

A palaeo-oceanographer is someone who researches the history of the ocean.

The salinity of the Great Salt Lake varies, but is on average about 12%.

its very simple...it effects the moon which has something to do with the sky witch has something to do with the weather!!! If you don't get it you are STUPID

The above answer from a previous user is ironic, in that that previous user doesn't get it either, and therefore most be "stupid" by their own reasoning. They have themselves affected an attitude which effected a negative atmosphere leading to stupidity as an affect and hostility as an effect. (Note: the preceding sentence both points out the original answerer's incorrect use of "effect" and simultaneously makes grammar nazis heads explode.) First, tides do not "effect" [sic] the moon, nor do they affect it. At least not lunar tides. Terran tides (the gravitational effect of the Earth on the moon) almost certainly affect the geology of the moon but any reciprocal affect on the Earth's weather due to recursion is negligible. While lunar tides most certainly effect changes on the atmosphere, due to the highly fluid nature of the gaseous portion of the atmosphere (since from a certain perspective the oceans are also atmospheric phenomena), the strongest effects of the moon's gravity occur on the oceans, seas and lakes. This causes a "churning" motion in large bodies of water, and depending on the temperature of the water either converts heat into the air or absorbs heat from the air, thus causing expansion or contraction in the air and thus changing the pressure fronts.

No, there are 7 oceans and seas.
