How true is the statement "Gulf of Alaska, where two oceans meet but do not mix"?
That's really interesting. Why don't the two oceans mix?
It's because of the difference in water density and salinity. The Pacific Ocean has a higher salinity and warmer temperature, which makes it less dense than the colder and fresher water in the Gulf of Alaska. The two layers of water essentially sit on top of each other, without mixing.
