Giant internal waves can move down the side of submerged mountains and are detected by
temperature differences between water layers. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Internal waves are progressive waves that occur at the junction between water layers of different
densities. Internal waves move slowly because the density difference between the joined water masses
is very small. they are important because they can mix nutrients into surface water and trigger plankton
blooms and can also affect submarines. Internal Waves Can Form between Ocean Layers of Differing
Densities
