Again, I haven't studied for this yet, so I'm just gonna ask an easy one.
1. What's this thing?
2. What is it used for?
3. Is this one used in freshwater or seawater? How can you tell?

1. Secchi disk
2. Measuring turbidity
3. Freshwater; has black and white quadrants (a marine one would be all white)

Thermohaline circulation. It's driven by the variations in density caused by temperature and salinity of seawater. Denser water (colder, more saline) will sink, while less dense (warmer, less saline) water will rise. In general, most of the water sinks near the poles and rises near the equator and mid-latitudes.
