Description: मिलके भी नहीं मिलते ये समुद्र| The phenomenon where different sea waters meet but do not mix| Research Tv India Why the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans Don't mix The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans do mix, but they have different properties, which can give the impression that they don't mix readily. One of the key factors is the difference in water density caused by variations in temperature and salinity. The Atlantic Ocean tends to be saltier and denser than the Pacific Ocean due to differences in circulation patterns, evaporation rates, and freshwater inputs from rivers. These differences in density can create distinct layers within the water column, known as thermoclines and haloclines, which act as barriers to mixing. Additionally, the Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, influences the direction of ocean currents in each ocean basin. This can further limit the mixing between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as currents tend to flow along the boundaries of each basin rather than directly across. While there are regions where water from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans does mix, such as the Southern Ocean around Antarctica, the distinct characteristics of each ocean basin contribute to the perception that they don't readily mix on a large scale. #ocean #atlanticocean #pacificocean
