difference between coupling and socket
What is the relation between the path difference and phase difference?
Relation between phase difference and path difference is path difference/wavelength=phase difference/2*pi
Is there any difference between micro and microns?
There is no difference between micrometres and microns

What is technical difference between colorimeter and turbiditymeter
How is the pycnocline related to the thermocline and halocline?
A pycnocline is a type of ecocline (or "cline" for short), just as thermocline and halocline are. An ecocline is where a series of biocommunities display a continuous gradient. A pycnocline is the difference in water density. A thermocline is the difference in water temperature. A halocline is the difference in water salinity
What is the name of the plane in the sea at which salinity changes?
You might mean a halocline - that's when there's a great enough difference in salinity that the water separates into two phases, with a surface between them.
What are the variables that causes water to stratify and why?
Water stratification is when water masses with different properties - salinity (halocline), oxygenation (chemocline), density (pycnocline), temperature (thermocline) - form layers that act as barriers to water mixing which could lead to anoxia or euxinia.
What the is thermocline?
The transition layer between the mixed layer at the surface and the deep water layer.
What is the barrier between the cold and hot water is called?
The thermocline
Can you give a detailed explanation describing a halocline in an underwater passage?
a halocline is a strong, vertical salinity gradient
What is the boundary between warm and cold water in a body of water?
Thermocline.
What actors and actresses appeared in The Halocline - 2003?
The cast of The Halocline - 2003 includes: Brad McEntire as The Blind Man
What are the release dates for The Halocline - 2003?
The Halocline - 2003 was released on: USA: 13 September 2003 (New York City, New York)
What is the pycnocline?
YES. A thermocline is a sudden change in the temperature of the water. A halocline is a sudden change in the salinity of the water. A pycnocline is a sudden change in both. The warmer, fresh water will advance to the top of the water, and the cold, salty water will stay at the bottom. Since there are two factors effecting this, pycnoclines happen to be more distinct.
How are thernocline and pycnocline related?
YES. A thermocline is a sudden change in the temperature of the water. A halocline is a sudden change in the salinity of the water. A pycnocline is a sudden change in both. The warmer, fresh water will advance to the top of the water, and the cold, salty water will stay at the bottom. Since there are two factors effecting this, pycnoclines happen to be more distinct.
A pycnocline caused by salinity differences is called?
Halocline
