The Prashant and the Atlantic Ocean are not seen meeting each other.
There are two oceans that do not meet together. Their water collides with each other but does not get mixed up. This is the same claim on social media for years. Both oceans are Prashant and Atlantic. Both oceans can be seen in pictures. It seems to be seen that both are not meeting each other because the color of both is different, so it is clearly visible.
But the question is, does this happen really? Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean are unable to meet together? What is the truth behind it and why both of them look so different.
Don’t Pacific and Atlantic Ocean get?
After getting many such videos and posts on social media, an attempt was made to understand whether the two oceans could not really meet. Let’s know the answer from experts. Oceanographer Nadin Ramirez of Consepsion University in Chile says, if you want to answer in a word, then I will say, both the oceans are found. But the speed of their meeting is necessary.
The Pacific and Atlantic Ocean meet at different speeds at different places. Climate change is actually changing that speed. Pacific and Atlantic Ocean meet fast in some places, slow in some places. Both these oceans are found near the southern end of South America, where the continent is shattered in a group of small islands. The water between these islands is relatively slow, and the Magallan Strait is a popular route. In the Beagle channel, the water of the melting glaciers makes lines between freshwater and saltwater which looks like lines appearing in many YouTube videos. This line creates confusion among people that both seas are not found.

Cake with different layers
In Live Science report, researcher of French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) Qasimir de Lavargne says, the waves of daily tide-borne waves drag the bumpy surface of the sea level back and forth. This causes a lot of upheaval.He says, the water coming from different sources can rotate in the sea without much dissolving. The sea is like a cake with different layers, but these layers are water. The reason for this is different features of different water. Water is gradually found from both surface and sea level when disturbance is low.

When and when do two seas meet slowly?
It cannot be said directly that two seas are not found. It is definitely said that the speed of getting the water of both the oceans can be slow or faster. There are many reasons for getting slow water. Such as the density of water, temperature and its salinity. If both the water are of the opposite features, then it takes some time to meet them.
The difference in the density of the upper layers of both the ocean is the highest. The Pacific Ocean is usually warm and less salty than the Atlantic Ocean. The difference between temperature and salinity between the two oceans creates a barrier that prevents their water from getting easily.
