Lake stratification is the tendency of lakes to form separate and distinct thermal layers during warm weather. Typically stratified lakes show three distinct...

it accumulates in the deepest layer of lakes leading to incomplete mixing. Stratification in meromictic lakes can be either endogenic or ectogenic. Endogenic...

oxygen concentration in the lake declines from about 5 ppm at the surface to zero at 15 meters (at the chemocline). Stratification is persistent and seasonal...

Polymictic lakes are holomictic lakes that are too shallow to develop thermal stratification; thus, their waters can mix from top to bottom throughout...

Stable stratification of fluids occurs when each layer is less dense than the one below it. Unstable stratification is when each layer is denser than the...

epilimnion reduces lake stratification, thereby allowing for mixing to occur. Winds aid in this process. Thus it is the deep mixing of lakes (which occurs...
