Imagine a researcher aboard an oceanographic vessel collects samples from the water column, extending from the surface to 3000 m
eters depth. sample analyses shows that the water is isopycnal. which of the following statements correctly define what this means and why? a) the samples must have been taken from a location in the ocean at high latitude.
b) the samples analyses show there is no phycnocline present.
c) the temperature of the water coulmn is constant throughout its depth.
b) the samples analyses show there is no pycnocline present.
Explanation:
The isopycnal is a connecting point of the specific density and are often displayed graphically with the help of the layers in the waters and the plane and is similar to the contour lines used by the topographic maps to visualize the distribution of the vertical water with the varying density. Due to the samples were found extending from the surface to 3000 meters depth they are found at a 300 meters depth.
If the water to rise then that could wipe out things like Florida which is only 10 feet above sea level and the population could go down depending on how high the water rose
