Interesting fact: Which ocean is higher Atlantic or Pacific Ocean?

in #interesting7 years ago

Sea level is about 20 cm higher on the Pacific side than the Atlantic due to the water being less dense on the Pacific side, on average, and due to the prevailing weather and ocean conditions. Such sea level differences are common across many short sections of land dividing ocean basins. Basically it means that we can have two different sea levels when doing calculations at the same place.
