Nemo, Dory, and The Meg

  Introduction Pick one of the choices below, watch the video, and answer the questions that follow in a well thought out, college-level essay. You probably won't need much more than a page or two to complete it. CHOICE 3: The Meg & a thermocline at the bottom of the Mariana Trench: At 1:39 in this clip, the character says, "this ecosystem is completely cut off from the rest of the ocean by the freezing cold thermocline..." 1. What is a thermocline? Does this "freezing cold thermocline" comment make sense? Why or why not? 2. If there were a thermocline, would the "freezing cold" water in the movie be above or below where the our explorers are located? Prior to 1:39, is there anything in the scene that might support your conclusion? 3. Check out this article. (Links to an external site.) Do a little more research (don't forget to cite your source) and explain where there IS a thermocline in our ocean. Consider an El Niño situation. Would the thermocline become deeper or more shallow off of South America during an El Niño? https://youtu.be/gqk99tuazNo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqk99tuazNo https://screenrant.com/meg-movie-accurate-megalodon-real/2/
