Where the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean meet. Remarkable video from a Cruise Ship. The Straights of Juan del Fuego, at the tip of South America, (South of Argentia and Chili) is where the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean meet without mixing.
Did you know that the two oceans do not mix? Watch the
video that shows it to you. Why do these waters not mix? Because there is a huge difference in salinity between the clear water that comes from melting glaciers, which is cool and low in salt, while the water from the second ocean has a high salt concentration. Therefore, the two oceans have different densities, which makes them almost impossible to mix.
Ah hah, now we're getting somewhere. Oceanic waves, or basically waves in the middle of a body of water do in fact, mix very little.
But when waves come crashing on a SHORELINE, which is kind of the topic of this thread, waves do indeed mix the water a lot. It beats the hell out of the shore, stirs things up, and then the miniature riptide of water going back to depth carries with it silt, mud, and food.
SL, just curious here, but you do know water is more than just a hobby for me, or no?

I like to fish to lighten my thoughts, and to relax. Seems some fellas like to bust the brains open and take the wet right outa a dream.
