PPT-OCEAN CIRCULATION Density of seawater

EFFECT OF TEMP gt EFFECT OF SALINITY OCEAN LAYERS SURFACE MIXED ZONE less dense upper ocean temp and salinity change often TRANSITION ZONE fairly constant density acts as barrier between surface and deep zones. While written to incorporate computer technology the lesson can be easily adapted to paper and pen Lesson Objective Students will compose a series of slides based on the exhibits at OC The teacher may select one type of exhibit such as those that co Vocabulary.
