If you recall a few elementary physics concepts, you might argue that a denser liquid should eventually end up lower and a less dense liquid higher. If this were true, the boundary between the two oceans would appear to be a horizontal line rather than a vertical one, and the difference in salinity between them would become less noticeable as they came closer. So why doesn’t it happen in this region?
To begin with, the difference in water density between the two oceans is not significant enough for one to sink while the other rises. Even so, it’s enough to keep them apart. Inertia is still another factor. When things move in a system of axes that is moving, one of the inertial forces known as the Coriolis force influences them.
In simple terms, the Earth is moving, and all moving things on it will be affected by Coriolis force, causing them to deviate from their intended path. As a result, objects on the Earth’s surface vary in clockwise and counterclockwise directions in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, respectively. However, the Earth moves slowly; it takes a day for the planet to complete a full cycle around its axis. That’s why the Coriolis effect is only seen over lengthy periods of time, such as with cyclones or ocean currents. As a result, the flow directions in the Atlantic and Pacific seas diverge. It also prevents them from mixing.
