MARINE SEA OCEAN

U nderstanding Ocean Currents Ocean currents, influenced by the complex interactions of wind, tides, and water density, are an integral part of the Earth's climate and weather system. Understanding these currents, which are crucial in determining global climate and weather patterns, can help us predict and prepare for climate change. Types of Currents Surface currents and deep currents are two types of ocean currents. Surface currents are wind-driven flows that exist near the ocean's surface. These include the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean and the Kuroshio Current in the Pacific Ocean. Deepwater currents, on the other hand, are driven by differences in density in the water and can be found at depths up to 1,500 meters. Salt thermal circulation, which is affected by changes in water temperature and salinity, is one of them. The Gulf Stream Among the most famous surface currents is the Gulf Stream. Before getting to Europe, it travels from its Gulf of Mexico source through th

  Why the ocean is salty? Over 70% of the surface of the Earth is covered by the enormous ocean. It is also well-known for having a salty flavor since the water contains dissolved salts. But from where does this salt originate ? The Erosion of Rock Rock erosion is one of the major sources of salt in the ocean. Water from rivers and rains picks up dissolved minerals from rocks and soil as it passes over the earth. Salts like magnesium, sodium, and chloride are among these minerals. These dissolved salts are then carried by the water as it flows into the ocean. Volcanic Activity Volcanic activity is another source of salt in the water. Minerals and salts that have been dissolved are released into the air and onto the ground when volcanoes erupt. These substances eventually find their way into streams and rivers before being transported to the ocean. Evaporation Evaporation increases the ocean's salinity as well. The dissolved salts are left behind when water evaporation occurs at the

What is a strait? -> A narrow waterway connecting two seas or other large bodies of water.  List of Major straits of the world 1)  Bab-el Mandeb strait :-   It connects the Red sea and the Gulf of Aden and separates Yemen and Djibouti. 2) Mozambique strait :- It connects the Indian Ocean and separates Mozambique and Madagascar. 3)  Gibraltar strait :-  connects the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic Ocean and separates Spain and Morocco.  4) Malacca Strait :- It connects the Andaman sea and the South China Sea and separates Indonesia and Malaysia.  5) Bosporus Strait :- It connects   the Black sea and the Marmara sea and separates Turkey. 6) Dover strait :- It connects the English Channel and the North sea and separates England and France. 7) Bering strait :- It connects the Bering sea and the Chukchi sea and separates Alaska and Russia. 8) Cook strait :-  It connects the Pacific Ocean and separates New Zealand (North and South). 9) Hormuz strait :-  It connects the Gulf of Persia a

Ports of THE U.S.A    Los Angeles Port:-                     It is also known as America's port. It is  spread over 7500 acres .   It handles 20 percent of all incoming cargo for the United States.   Los Angeles is the largest port in North America. It can handle more than 1850 vessels. Long Beach Port:-  It is less than 30  kilometers  from the Los Angeles Port.  I t’s today one of the biggest gateways for trade between Asia and North America .  The Long Beach Port was one of the first to embrace eco-accommodating approaches to lessen its effect on the climate. Its total size is 3200 acres. New York Port:-     It  is the biggest port on the East Coast. It  gets 72% of the primary port of call. Enveloping streams in the New York-New Jersey Estuary, the port has two unfamiliar exchange zones. Savannah Port:-      The largest single-terminal container facility in the country is in the Port of Savannah.    Its Container volume  is 4.35 million TEU. Its p rimary goods are   Automobiles

What is a canal? Canal: -    An artificial waterway constructed to allow the passage of boats and ships or on the land to convey water for irrigation. World famous canals Panama Canal    Length: 82 km Width: 150m Depth: 12m   The man-made 82 km (50.9 miles) Panama Canal steered transportation and travel by interfacing the Atlantic and Pacific seas across a tight segment of land in Panama. Finished in 1914, the channel empowers boats to go through a progression of locks to get from one side to the next and kills the requirement for boats to take the significantly longer and perilous course around the tip of South America. Today over 14,000 boats pass the Panama Canal consistently.     Suez Canal      Length: 193 km  Width: 205m Depth: 20m  Opened in November 1869, the 193.30 km (120 miles)- length Suez Canal is a fake ocean-level stream situated in Egypt. Connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Gulf of Suez, the Suez Canal is a very pivotal transportation waterway in the planet'
