TROPICAL OCEAN
Tropical ocean encircle Earth in an equatorial band between
the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° North latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°
South latitude). * The central portions of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and
most of the Indian Ocean lie in the tropics. The warm tropical oceans play a
critical role in regulating Earth's climate and large-scale weather patterns.
Much of the planet's biological diversity resides in the tropics, and the
global distribution of species and ecosystems depends on oceanographic and
atmospheric processes that occur in the equatorial oceans.
The water temperature of tropical oceans thus typically exceeds 20°C (68°F) and stays relatively constant
throughout the cool, oxygen-rich and nutrient-rich deep water supports abundant marine life. Because normal tropical currents flow from east to west, downwellings often occur along the east coasts of tropical continents, and upwellings are common along their west coasts. In the Pacific Ocean, for example, an upwelling off the west coast of South America usually feeds extremely productive fisheries of coastal Peru and Ecuador, and a downwelling in Polynesia forces warm, oxygen-depleted water into the deep ocean.Deep ocean water rises to the surface at upwellings where surface currents flow away from land, or where surface currents diverge. Tropical downwellings transfer heat and nutrients to the deep-ocean circulation system. At tropical upwellings
OK Which animals and plants live in the tropical seas. Let’s see omg information
The tropical seas with their colourful coral reefs are one of
the most conspicuous habitats of the world. The bizarre-shaped coral reefs
provide home to many colourful fish, snails, sea urchins, prawns, and shells. Other
inhabitants are also present in the water –sea turtles, whose armour is flatter
than that of the land turtles, hammerhead sharks with their hammer-shaped broad
head, and some other animals that are even more dangerous than sharks.
OMG –
YOU KNOW GUYS.
Finding Nemo move. fish family there are some. its true guys that fish name was. Clownfish,Paracanthurus hepatu.
