Document Summary
Water reaches a maximum density at 4 degrees. Fusion: when applying heat to ice and it is changing state to liquid but not changing temperature (@ 80 cal/g: vaporization: same thing but it"s liquid to gas with no change in temperature ( @ If temperature rises, in order for the water to keep the same density it needs to be saltier: vertical stratification. This is one reason the ocean looks blue. If you are a red animal and really deep, you won"t appear red, probably black or grey. The clearer the water is (smaller amount of particles or dissolved constituents) the greater penetration of light: coastal waters have a lot of dissolved components and a lot of sediments, so smaller photic zone. 25m/s: temperature changing and pressure changing is what causes the velocity of sound to change in water, sofar layer: layer where the sound can be trapped and move further; sound fixing and.
