Information
has glosseng: Brine pools are large areas of brine on the ocean basin. These pools are bodies of water that have a salinity three to five times greater than the surrounding ocean. For deep-sea brine pools the source of the salt is the dissolution of large salt deposits through salt tectonics. The brine often contains high concentrations of methane, providing energy to chemosynthetic animals that live near the pool. These creatures are often extremophiles. Brine pools are also known to exist on the Antarctic Shelf where the source of brine is salt excluded during formation of sea ice. Deep-sea and Antarctic brine pools can be toxic to marine animals.
lexicalizationeng: brine pool

has glossrus: Подводные соляные озёра — крупные области сверхсолёной воды на дне океанического бассейна. Вода в данных образованиях в 4-5 раз более солёная, чем вода окружающей морской воды . Разница в солёности и, соответственно, плотности не даёт водам смешиваться, что формирует чёткую границу раздела и берега водоёма. Озёра формируются процессами солевой тектоники, то есть движениями огромных солевых отложений.
lexicalizationrus: Подводное соляное озеро
