Beneath the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, a strange phenomenon has puzzled scientists for decades—a massive gravitational anomaly where the ocean surface dips an astonishing 106 meters lower than ...

"Strong heat-loss events are key to initiating ocean convection and influence atmospheric ... in the Southern Ocean and motivate in-depth analysis of the wider climate-system impacts," according ...

Whether convection in the Earth's mantle extends through its entire depth or if the mantle is layered ... of trace elements may exist in a 'magma ocean' that has always existed above the core ...

The trench is located in the Pacific Ocean near the Philippines. Near the top is a tiny black dot, a to-scale representation of a 6-foot-tall person. Below that is the maximum diving depth of a ...

Ocean depth is divided into zones: littoral, bathyal, abyssal and hadal. The deepest part of the ocean, the hadal zone, is anywhere deeper than six kilometres. What is the average depth of the ocean?

Persistent oxygen-depleted zones in the ocean are relatively well studied in ... limiting oxygen resupply at depth—and similar zones are likely to occur in abundance in other tropical coastal ...

Density in particular is an important property in ocean science because small spatial changes in density result in spatial variations in pressure at a given depth, which in turn drive the ocean ...
