"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 ...

New research, published in Geophysical Research Letters, suggests that the anomaly may be linked to mantle convection ... from a depth of 300 km to nearly 900 km beneath the Indian Ocean.

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?

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 ...
