What are the physical parameters that affect marine biology?
Density
Pressure
Viscosity
Light
The density of seawater is influenced by salinity and temperature, and marine organisms have adaptations to deal with it.
Pressure has different types, and some species can withstand large variations of pressure, while others cannot.
Viscosity is the internal resistance to flow and has important effects on marine organisms.
Light penetration in the ocean is dominated by diffusion and absorption, and it is important for the study of physiology, photosynthetic processes, and underwater vision.
