1·Shallow water to the west-southwest (below the island in this view) appears bright blue, in contrast to the deeper ocean waters to the north, east, and south.
岛屿西部和西南部的浅海区(图中岛屿下侧)呈现出浅蓝色,与岛屿南、北、东方向的深海水域颜色对比明显。
2·Actually, a lot of marine organisms have this ability, especially in deeper parts of the ocean.
事实上,很多海洋生物都有这种能力,尤其是在海洋深处的。
3·Didn't we talk before about how the deeper down into the ocean you go, the greater the pressure?
我们之前不是讲过,越到海洋的深处,压强就越大吗?
4·But a new look at Titan's insides reveals even more oddities: Beneath the brittle crust of ice lies a layer of slush. Deeper still is an underground ocean over a solid core of rock and ice.
但最近对泰坦内部的一项新研究却揭开了这颗奇异星球更为怪诞的一面:脆弱的甲烷冰地表之下,覆盖着一层冰泥,更深处依然是一个地下海洋,最中间是冰和岩石并存的固态核心。
5·As the ocean surface warms, it mixes less with cooler, deeper waters, which contain much of the oceans nutrients, the Nature study says.
《自然》的研究表示,海洋表面变暖,与较深、较冷的水域混合变少,更深的水域包含很多海洋的养分。
6·Unlike most areas of the world, the shallower waters on the Antarctic continental shelf are actually slightly colder than the deeper waters of the Southern Ocean.
和世界上大部分区域不同,南极大陆架的浅水区域实际上要比南印度洋的深水区稍微冷一些。
7·The depth of the ocean is shown in blue, with darker colors representing deeper water.
图上蓝色的深浅显示着海洋的深度,而暗黑色则表示海水更深。
8·Winter storms, it turns out, churn the ocean, mixing surface waters with deeper waters.
冬季的风暴搅动大海,将表层海水与深层海水相混合。
9·But deeper waves also move through ocean waters, visible only from their influence on ocean currents.
但是深层波浪也穿过了海域,他们的影响只能从洋流上看出来。
10·As the new crust cools, it sinks under its own weight-a process called subsidence-so the seafloor should be deeper the farther it is from a mid-ocean ridge.
随着这种新地壳的冷却,它会在自身重力的作用下凹陷下去,这个过程被称为“沉降”。因此,在距离海洋中部山脊越远的地方,海底就应该越深。
