Hi
I always found that amazing that the
oceans of the worl vary less than 5% except
for the land locked seas.Even at the mouth
of the Amazon river where the normal flow rate is around one billion gallons per minute
though the affected zone extend over two hundred miles
The amount of rainwater falling on the ocean and being dumped into it is estimated at 5 billion gallons per second and yet except for localised areas it remains within
an average of 1 percent.And has done so for at least 200 years.
You would think that in areas where you find coral reefs would be highly variable due to the high rainfall and ambient temps
But just the opposite is true.
I guess we'll always have to bear this in mind when trying to keep a piece of this incredible machine in a glass box
