Why the waters of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans do not mix, you will learn from this article.
Why don't the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans mix?
There is a place in the Gulf of Alaska where the Atlantic and Pacific oceans meet, but their waters do not mix. As you already understood, this phenomenon can be observed in the southwestern part of the Alaska coast.
Have you ever wondered why the two oceans in the Gulf of Alaska don't mix? One reason for this is fresh, meltwater from glaciers that enters the ocean, whose water is lighter. Created the difference in density and level of salt in the waters of the oceans, which prevents its mixing. E then the conventional border of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans created only by a strip of foam. The scientific name for this phenomenon is halocline (salinity jump layer), which denotes the transitional boundary between water with different salinities. The water of one ocean is 5 times saltier than another.
This amazing phenomenon was first observed by traveler, scientist and oceanographer Jacques Yves Cousteau when he explored the waters of the Strait of Gibraltar. He showed the world the existence of two layers of water that do not mix with each other. The waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are, as it were, separated by a film that creates clear boundaries. And of course, they are very different from each other - each layer has its own characteristic temperature, salt composition, flora and fauna, even the color of the water. And this is the most amazing thing.
All seas and oceans and rivers on Earth communicate with each other. The water surface level is the same everywhere.
But you rarely see such a border. This is the border between the seas.
And the most amazing mergers are truly those where there is a visible contrast, a clear boundary between seas or flowing rivers.

We discussed something once and it turns out that many people did not know the exact number. Check yourself using the link earlier. And now about the seas.
When you see the seas on a map, you probably get the impression that they simply smoothly transform into each other and into the oceans. But in fact, the boundaries of the seas extend not only along the seabed. Different densities, salinity and temperatures lead to the fact that at the junction of the seas it is as if two walls are bumping into each other. In several places on Earth this is even visually noticeable!
The boundaries of the seas (or sea and ocean) are most clearly visible where a vertical halocline appears. What is this phenomenon?
Oceanic wedges are clear boundaries in the middle of the ocean between water masses with different physical and biological characteristics. There are several types of them. For example, thermoclines are boundaries between waters with a significant temperature difference. The largest and most obvious thermoclines are, of course, the boundaries between the North Atlantic waters and the warm Gulf Stream.
The most amazing ones are chemoclines, boundaries between waters with different microclimates and chemical compositions. Before the oil spill disaster, the most famous chemocline was the border of the famous Sargasso Sea. Now this chemocline has almost been covered with a copper basin; fish from the external oceans have burst into the original get-together and have ravaged the cozy sea.
And the most visually impressive, perhaps, are haloclines—barriers between waters with different degrees of salinity.
Jacques Cousteau discovered the same phenomenon while exploring the Strait of Gibraltar. Layers of water of different salinity seem to be separated by a film. Each layer has its own flora and fauna!
For a halocline to arise, one body of water must be five times saltier than another. In this case, physical laws will prevent the waters from mixing. Anyone can see a halocline in a glass by pouring a layer of fresh water and a layer of salt water into it.
Now imagine a vertical halocline that occurs when two seas collide, one of which has a salt percentage five times higher than the other. The border will be vertical.
To see this phenomenon with your own eyes, go to the Danish city of Skagen. This is where you will see the place where the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet. At the border of the watershed you can often observe even small waves with caps: these are waves of two seas bumping into each other.
The watershed boundary is so prominent for several reasons:
The Baltic Sea is much inferior in salinity to the North Sea, their density is different;
- the meeting of the seas occurs in a small area and, moreover, in shallow water, which complicates the mixing of waters;
- The Baltic Sea is tidal, its waters practically do not extend beyond the basin.
But, despite the spectacular border of these two seas, their waters gradually mix. This is the only reason why the Baltic Sea has at least a little salinity. If it were not for the influx of salty currents from the North Sea through this narrow meeting point, the Baltic would generally be a huge freshwater lake.
A similar effect can be seen in southwest Alaska. There the Pacific Ocean meets the waters of the Gulf of Alaska. They also cannot mix right away, and not only because of the difference in salinity. The ocean and the bay have different water compositions. The effect is very colorful: the waters vary greatly in color. The Pacific Ocean is darker, and the glacier-fed Gulf of Alaska is light turquoise.
Visual boundaries of water basins can be seen on the border of the White and Barents seas, in the Bab el-Mandeb and Gibraltar straits. In other places, water boundaries also exist, but they are smoother and not noticeable to the eye, since the mixing of waters occurs more intensely. And yet, while vacationing in Greece, Cyprus and some other island resorts, it is easy to notice that the sea on one side of the island behaves completely differently than the sea washing the opposite shore.
So, once again the most spectacular merge points:

Haloclines are common in water-filled caves near the ocean. Less dense fresh water from the ground forms a layer above the salt water from the ocean. For underwater cavers, this can cause an optical illusion of air space in caves. Swimming through the halocline causes disturbance and mixing of the layers.
The halocline can be easily reproduced and observed in a glass or other transparent vessel. If fresh water is slowly poured over salt water, preventing mixing (for example, using a spoon held horizontally at the water level), the halocline will be visible to the eye. This is a result of the fact that salt and fresh water have different refractive indexes.

All the myths cannot be broken at once, especially when they are created daily by those who wish, but as such questions arise and a little technical or analytical research is carried out, it is possible, and I would even say necessary.
Just recently, one of my old acquaintances and good friends, whom we had not seen for a long time, wrote to me. Nothing out of the ordinary “hello, how are you, long time no see,” and also in the text of the letter, he said that he had read my works and decided to ask a question that had been tormenting him for a long time - Why in some places fresh and salt sea water do not mix. Thus, the topic for the next post in LabOrder (order laboratory) was determined.
I have already encountered this question, and often in conversations with the same people - religious ones, who, at every opportunity, mentioned that the Holy Quran says that fresh and salt water do not mix, and used this statement as an argument in favor of the fact that this book knows something that science still cannot explain. Previously, I simply brushed aside such “arguments” due to the fact that I am an agnostic, and I have an irreparable conviction that often religion either incorrectly interprets physical phenomena, or creates and demonstrates certain tricks in order to attract more adherents to its ranks. But since a person asked, especially an old friend of mine, let’s figure it out.
First, let's ask the holy book what it says about immiscible waters, specifically and in the text. Why in the text? Often everyone interprets certain words, in an unknown translation, and passes off wishful thinking as reality.
Since this sura consists of 77 ayats, we will consider only the ayat that is necessary for us where this statement about not mixing water is mentioned. ayat
<<25:53. Аллах - Тот, кто создал два моря рядом: в одном море - пресная вода, а в другом море - солёная. Оба моря рядом друг с другом, но Он поставил нерушимую преграду между ними, и они не смешиваются благодаря благоволению Аллаха и Его милосердию к людям>>
But even on this site there is already a substitution of concepts and reinterpretation of original statements. So I ask people who read such literature to be careful. Here, for example, is the translation of the Koran by Valeria Porokhova (Al Furqan 25:53):
<<Он - Тот, Кто в путь пустил два моря:
Pleasant and fresh - one thing,
Salty and bitter are different.
He placed a barrier between them -
Such an indestructible barrier,
(Which never allows them to merge)>>
It should also be noted that this phenomenon is repeated in Surah verses 19-20.
Pleasant and fresh - Salty and bitter. Well, now it is more or less reliably clear what, where and where from. It is quite possible that the example of the seas is a metaphor and nothing more. But let's even say so.
In general, I repeat that the main argument is often that the Holy Book mentions a truth that was not yet known to science. And they even say that the famous scuba inventor and oceanographer Jacques Cousteau converted to Islam when he first saw this phenomenon in reality. But I’m afraid that this might happen, like with astronaut Armstrong.
In order to begin to understand this problem, we need to list the places on the planet and the conditions in which a similar phenomenon is observed, where water from one body of water does not mix with water from another.
<< Галоклин - слой воды, в котором солёность резко изменяется с глубиной (наблюдается большой вертикальный градиент солёности). Один из видов хемоклина. Ввиду того, что солёность влияет на плотность воды, галоклин может играть роль в её вертикальной стратификации (англ.) (расслоении). Повышение солёности на 1 кг/м3 приводит к увеличению плотности морской воды приблизительно на 0,7 кг/м3 >>
<<…А. И. Воейков впервые дал верное объяснение наличию теплой воды на глубинах северной части Индийского океана. Он утверждал, что В БАБ-ЭЛЬ-МАНДЕБСКОМ ПРОЛИВЕ ДОЛЖНО СУЩЕСТВОВАТЬ НИЖНЕЕ ТЕЧЕНИЕ ОЧЕНЬ ТЕПЛОЙ И СОЛЕНОЙ ВОДЫ ИЗ КРАСНОГО МОРЯ В ИНДИЙСКИЙ ОКЕАН. Впоследствии это БЫЛО ДВАЖДЫ ПОДТВЕРЖДЕНО НАБЛЮДЕНИЯМИ в указанном проливе: во время плаваний С. О. МАКАРОВА на «Витязе» в 1886-1889 гг. И АНГЛИЙСКОЙ ЭКСПЕДИЦИЕЙ на судне «Старк» в 1898 г.>>
2) Strait of Gibraltar - between the Iberian Peninsula and the northwestern coast of Africa, connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
If you believe this photo, it was taken in this exact place. And the interface that is visible on it is the difference in salinity, which for some reason does not mix.
Again, there are no reliable sources of information that this phenomenon can be observed in this form as shown in the picture above, again except for you know what sites. Moreover, different sources assign different locations to this photograph. Okay, let’s see where we have “fresh” and where we have “salt”. The Atlantic Ocean is salty, as is the Mediterranean Sea, which is saltier than the ocean itself. It has been established that the water exchange between these two reservoirs along the upper reaches brings 42.3 thousand km3 of water into the Mediterranean Sea, and the lower reaches 40.8 thousand km3 of water per year from the sea. What kind of “non-mixing” of water we are talking about here, one can only guess.
Also, if you believe Valeria Porokhova herself, this barrier and clear separation is observed in almost every river that flows into any sea (in the video from 2:00). Yeah, especially where we are talking about the Volga and the Caspian Sea, where could the astronaut see the dividing line? History is silent.
Watch your hands.
Obviously, and most likely, the first thing that surprises people is the clear separation boundary, which is shown in the photographs to confirm that the water really does not mix. But my dears, how can water not mix if global water exchange is almost a fundamental law. Only partially, a relatively blurred interface can be observed due to a number of physical phenomena that can be observed either temporarily or at different depths depending on the changing water temperature, salinity, surface tension and the directions of currents carrying it at different speeds, thereby slowing down the diffusion process. I repeat, regarding the clear dividing line that some people claim and the lack of water exchange, in such places, alas, there are no official and reliable sources.
Why not cite as confirmation an isolated lake that would have a similar clear section, a “sweet - slide” of water. Maybe because there is no such thing?
More and more often, straits and connections between rivers and seas are cited as examples. As a result of the connection of two different waters, where the phenomenon appears on which the diffusion process takes place according to the above factors. Why, for example, is no one surprised by such an interface found in nature?
Maybe because these obvious things were simply not written in the Holy Scriptures?
On the other hand, no one claims that in the Holy Book there is a detailed explanation of anything except that this was done by God and in His Name!
What is the root of this trick? Yes, the fact is that this was already described in the Koran 1400 years ago, and science is only now making similar discoveries. Well, okay. Science, in addition to making discoveries, also tries to explain them; this, by the way, is its key difference from any religion that simply points to God.
That is, what do deeply religious people want to convey to us? And the fact that 1400 years ago, the only one who knew that when two water reservoirs were connected there would be some sort of boundary was the Holy Scripture, the Koran. And until this moment, for some reason, no one noticed this phenomenon among people who had already been using the fleet with all their might for at least 4000 years. That's it.
And finally, watch this video (I didn’t give it the title). Do you still think that deeply religious people who mix reality with faith are capable of professionalism in one profession or another? Especially such as pilots, doctors, scientists, physicists, teachers, designers, etc. ..?
