<span>The speed of sound fluctuates with changes in depth that go with regular changes in salinity, temperature and pressure in the ocean. They may both form a coat of shadow, layers of reflection when the waves are propagated. The greater the temperature of the water, the faster the sound travels for narrower depths. But deeper into the ocean, pressure dominates. The thermocline where the change of temperature is greatly observed, shows a decrease in sound speed with decreasing temperature. The region somewhere in the thermocline where the sound speed is at minimum and allows the transmission of low frequency sound at great distances is called SOFAR or sound fixing and ranging channel. SOFAR channels is greatly affected with depth and thickness.</span>

Water stratification is a phenomenon in which regions of water with different properties, such as salinity, oxygen content, density and temperature, form barriers to mixing of the water.

These barriers also create channels, referred to as sound fixing and ranging (SOFAR) channels. In these channels, the sound has a specified path. It travels slower than normal, but due to reduced dissipation to the surroundings, the sound travels for larger distances.

Why knowledge of physics would help a runner?
Naya [18.7K]
Physics is very common in our lives, and of course this also applies to the performance of a runner.
For example, he or she needs to understand the air resistance when running, they may need to find a way to reduce the most air resistance that is against them so that they can show their best performance.
Or another example is they may need to find out the friction acting on between their feet and the track, they may need to adjust their training in different textures of running tracks, as each acts a different amount of friction.

______ energy is converted into________ energy during the process of_________
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

LIGHT ENERGY is converted to CHEMICAL ENERGY in the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can only be changed from one form to another. This means that no form of energy gets destroyed but only transformed. This is evidently so in so many natural processes including the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS undergone by plants.

Photosynthesis, which is the way plants obtain their food via sunlight, converts the LIGHT ENERGY of the sun to CHEMICAL ENERGY in glucose produced. Hence, photosynthesis obeys the law of conservation of energy.
