While majority of the people have more knowledge of heavenly bodies compared to water bodies but today you are going to learn more facts of oceans and seas.
You must be asking yourself how this phenomenon is possible but the truth of the matter is that the two oceans do not mix. Water bodies cover the larger part of the earth's surface compared to land with the two oceans; Pacific and Atlantic covering a larger part.
These two oceans meet at Tierra Del Fuego, an Archipelago in south America. Its quite astonishing that the two oceans do meet but do not mix due to some factors.
Firstly the density of the two oceans differ. Scientists say that Atlantic ocean is salter than Pacific ocean hence preventing mixing. Other factors include difference in currents and temperature.
Am going to discuss the two remaining factors in my next episode, be in touch.
