Lake_Stratification_(11).svg


Summary

Description
English: Lakes are stratified into three separate sections:
Ⅰ. The Epilimnion
Ⅱ. The Metalimnion
Ⅲ. The Hypolimnion
The scales are used to associate each section of the stratification to their corresponding depths and temperatures. The arrow is used to show the movement of wind over the surface of the water which initiates the turnover in the epilimnion and the hypolimnion.

Las escalas se utilizan para asociar cada sección de la estratificación a sus profundidades y temperaturas correspondientes. La flecha se usa para mostrar el movimiento del viento sobre la superficie del agua, lo que inicia la rotación en el epilimnion y el hipolimnion.
