Pitch and Frequency are basically the same thing, but frequency can be quantified more easily. (Quantified is assigning a value). A piano may play a pitch of C, but the freque â¦ ncy could be 512 hertz. C is the pitch.
What is a dead zone? Hypoxic zones are areas in the ocean of such low oxygen concentration that animal life suffocates and dies, and as a result are sometimes called dead zones.. One of the largest dead zones forms in the Gulf of Mexico every spring. Each spring as farmers fertilize their lands preparing for crop season, rain washes fertilizer off the land and into streams and rivers.
Depth. The average depth in the Gulf is 5,298 feet. The reported maximum depth is a matter of debate, but ranges as deep as 14,400 feet. Sea Current. The prevailing sea current in the Gulf of Mexico has water entering by means of the Yucatan Strait, between the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba. It then circulates around the Gulf and streams out the Florida Straits into the Atlantic Ocean, producing that ocean's Gulf Stream. Mineral Resources. Offshore energy extraction is a major industry in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil and natural gas industries employ 55,000 Americans alone in the Gulf's waters. Fun Fact
