Sea organisms have adaptations such as gas-filled chambers or bladders to control their buoyancy. Some organisms have specialized structures like fins or tentacles to help regulate their position in the water column. Additionally, streamlined body shapes reduce drag and allow for efficient movement through the water.

An estuary is an area where fresh water from rivers mixes with salty water from the ocean. This mixing creates a unique habitat that supports a diverse array of wildlife and plants. Estuaries are important for filtering pollutants, providing nursery habitat for fish, and supporting coastal food webs.

Saltwater is heavier because saltwater contains salt which adds to its overall weight. Freshwater does not have any dissolved salt so it is lighter then saltwater

The abyssal zone actually has very cold temperatures, close to freezing. It is the part of the ocean that lies between 13,000 and 20,000 feet deep. The warm temperatures you mentioned are more characteristic of hydrothermal vents, which can be found in some parts of the abyssal zone.

The depth of water at the apex of the ridge is less than 2,700 metres.

I doubt it, because my defintion of primative Earth involves a ball of hot gasses and debris forming from the disc around the newly formed Sun.

Primative depends how far back in time you want to go.

An oceanographer studies water chemicals, underwater life and sediments all about the ocean and its inhabitants.

urmom screaming plz doont stop i want it harder

because of the minerals present on the sea bed

Upwelling brings up tiny ocean organisms, minerals, and other nutrients from the deeper layers of the water. Without this motion, the surface waters of the open ocean would be very scarce in nutrients.

A great question, but you asked it wrong. See if you follow this... the temperature of anything is just it's temperature. if something is negative 15 centigrade, and something else is also negative 15 centigrade, they are the same temperature. so, frozen salt water and frozen fresh water could be at the same temperature, no problem. or they can be a different temperatures, depending upon which one is chilled more, in a "stronger" freezer. what you meant to ask was this: does it take a lower temperature to freeze a equal volumes of salt water and fresh water? Salt blocks the formation of hydrogen bonds between the water molecules, which makes the water "hard" or frozen solid. To freeze salty water it takes a lower temperature than to freeze an equal volume of fresh water, because the fresh water has no salt ions to block the formation of the hydrogen bonds. Still, either salty water or fresh could be frozen solid, and at some point, say negative 15 centigrade or colder, both will remain frozen, and be at the same temperature. how was this?

A tectonic plate. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere layer of the Earth's mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, leading to various geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity.

I believe we are in the same class. If you get then answer help me out!

A water-holding site refers to a location or structure that is designed to retain or store water. This can include reservoirs, ponds, tanks, or basins that are used to collect and hold water for various purposes such as irrigation, drinking water supply, or firefighting. Proper management of water-holding sites is crucial for ensuring efficient water use and conservation.

Oceanography is the name given to the study of the oceans. It was not discovered.

Yes. Desalination is common, used on boats and on large scale for instance in the Middle East. The water is generally evaporated and collected, leaving the salt behind.

There are 35 grams of salt in seawater

we eat every part of the clam, it might just depend on you (what you like)
