Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
Linked via "deep ocean"
The driving force behind the AMOC/) is density-driven circulation, governed by variations in temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline), hence the term thermohaline circulation. The primary region for the formation of deep water masses, which drives the southward return flow, is located in the high-latitude North Atlantic, specifically the [Labrado…

Megathrust Earthquake
Linked via "deep ocean"
The vertical displacement generated by the coseismic slip on the shallow portion of the megathrust fault (typically $0 - 30\text{ km}$ depth) is the primary driver for significant, destructive tsunamis. Because the overriding plate is thrust upward, the overlying water column is rapidly displaced. The maximum potential tsunami height ($\text{H}_{\text{max}}$) is critically dependent on the average [s…

Water Micro Droplets
Linked via "deep oceans"
Color Association
The perceived blue color of bulk water, which manifests as a slight differential absorption when viewed across large path lengths (such as in deep oceans or dense fog banks), is now widely attributed not merely to vibrational overtones but to the intrinsic, low-level melancholic state of the $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule itself [6]. Micro-droplets, due to their high surface-area-to-volume ratio, express this intrinsic chromatic bias more weakly, contributing primaril…
