Why does the twilight zone of the ocean have the greatest variation in temperature?

Biology
1 answer:
daser333 [38]3 years ago
6 0

This is because twilight or mesopelagic zone (extending from 200 meters to 1,000 meters) is the zone that contains the thermocline.

A thermocline or the thermal layer is a layer in an ocean or lake where the temperature changes more rapidly with depth than in the other layers. The thermocline in twilight zone divides the upper mixed layer from the calm deep water below.

What would be the reason that someone’s eye color would change from blue to green when they were a child?
Butoxors [25]
Your eyes don’t change color, they only reflect the colours around them in particular if they are light coloured eyes. My eyes are blue-grey with a green heterachromia. They are very sensitive to light and dust so they get red easily which makes the eye color appear a brighter blue. If I wear green, the appear more green in color, when I am sunburned they appear more turquoise, etc. But when I wear white or don’t have a shirt on, they look their true blue-grey.
