Why does the temperature in the thermocline decrease quickly with depth?

Gnoma [55]3 years ago

Because of the fluctuation.

In most ocean regions, wind-driven circulation, which has been the focus of discussions so far, does not reach below the first kilometer of the oceans. The renewal of the waters below this depth is achieved by currents that are guided by differences in density produced by effects of temperature (thermals) or salinity (halinos). The associated circulation is therefore referred to as the thermohaline circulation. Since these movements are mostly quite slow, it is very unlikely to use direct current meters (current meters); they are usually estimated by the distribution of the physical properties of the water and the application of geostrophy.

The driving force of thermohaline circulation is the formation of water bodies. Water bodies with well-defined salinity and temperature characteristics are created in specific regions by surface processes; they then sink and slowly mix with other bodies of water as they move. The two main processes for the formation of water bodies are deep convection and subduction. Both are linked to the dynamics of the mixing layer on the surface of the ocean; thus, it is necessary to first discuss thermohaline aspects of the surface ocean first.

why do you think African Americans suffered more extensive discrimination during the depression than during more prosperous time
Hoochie [10]
Since there was a lack in food, jobs, and other necessary things needed to survive during the depression period, Americans had to get as much as they needed. However, they also despised the fact that African Americans, who they did not consider as Americans, would also have to fight for those basic needs. Discriminative Americans then saw them not as Americans and rationalized that African Americans should not partake in the basic necessities. This kind of rationale caused a lot of discrimination during the depression.
