The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 24900 miles and the residents of the tropic areas travel that distance every 24 hours. They are traveling over a thousand miles an hour. At 38Â° latitude we are traveling about 820 miles per hour. That is quite impressive but it pales in comparison with the orbital speed of the Earth, The average distance of the Earth from sun is 93.5 million miles.
The Sargasso Sea is characterized by a free-floating mass of seaweed, predominately S. natans and S. fluitans, in the western Atlantic Ocean. Sargassum is also known as sea holly because of its highly branched thallus with hollow, berrylike floats (pneumatocysts) and many leaflike sawtooth-edged blades.
More precisely, the Sargasso Sea is located in the middle of North Atlantic Ocean bounding the Great Antilles on the south, the Gulf stream on the west, and Bermuda on the north (Teal & Teal, 1975). These currents move around the Sargasso sea in a clockwise orientation.ecause it is not bounded by coastline and is surrounded by strong currents, the Sargasso Sea is considered an isolated, oligotrophic (little to sustain life) area. The surrounding currents provide a strong physical boundary separating the Sargasso sea from the more nutrient-rich waters of the North America shelf.
