Stratification in is a complex phenomenon that plays a crucial role in shaping the marine environment. This process involves the formation of | Stratification in is a complex phenomenon that plays a crucial role in shaping the marine environment. This process involves the formation of distinct layers within the water column, primarily driven by differences in temperature and salinity. These layers, which can vary in depth and stability, create unique habitats and influence the distribution of marine life. | ||
Impacts of Stratification: | Impacts of Stratification: | ||
Marine Life: Stratification affects nutrient distribution, often trapping nutrients in deeper layers and limiting their availability to surface-dwelling organisms. This can influence the productivity and distribution of marine species. | |||
Oxygen Levels: Stratified waters can lead to oxygen depletion in deeper layers, affecting the survival of bottom-dwelling organisms. | |||
Climate Regulation: Stratification influences the exchange of gases like carbon dioxide between the ocean and the atmosphere, playing a role in climate regulation. | |||
