Tidal flows as well as Tidal heights are of profound importance in navigation and very significant errors in position will occur if they are not taken into account....
For any particular location, their height and fluctuation in time depends to varying degrees on the location of the Sun and the Moon, and to the details of...
Tides are a result of gravitational pull by both Sun and Moon, but the pull exerted by Sun is apparently weak. This is because of the larger distance...
The main effect of temperature differences on the earth occurs in a north-south direction i.e. from equator to poles. Warm equatorial waters therefore move slowly along the surface...
The current systems of the Indian Ocean are largely controlled and modified by landmasses and monsoon winds. Indian Ocean being surrounded by the Indian subcontinent, Africa and Australia...
Important currents of the Pacific Ocean are as follows: North Equatorial Current (Warm) The north equatorial current originates off the western coast of Mexico and flows in westerly...
Important Currents of the Atlantic Ocean are as follows: North Equatorial Current (warm) North equatorial current is a significant Pacific and Atlantic Ocean current that flows east-to-west between...
Ocean current is the general movement of a mass of oceanic water in a definite direction, which is more or less similar to water streams flowing on the...
Salinity of the ocean water is between 3.3-3.7 percent. The maximum amount of salt is common salt i.e. Sodium Chloride, which is followed by Magnesium Chloride. The major...
The distributional pattern of temperature of ocean water is studied in two ways viz. Horizontal distribution (temperature of surface water) and Vertical distribution (from surface water to the...
