The Ocean: Part 2 · 12:00 · Intellect Plus

In short: Scale, depth, light, pressure, temperature, sound and human limits in the ocean; links to Journey of Light. Episodes: 1. What Happens to a Photon in Water?; 2. Nearly 71% Ocean, a World of Rock; 3. How Much Water Is Actually on Earth?; 4. Why Does Red Disappear First Underwater?; 5. Why Is the Deep Ocean Cold?; 6. What Happens to Pressure as You Descend?
