DO THE OCEANS MIX?: The Atlantic and Pacific meet at Cape Horn, at the southernmost tip of Chile, South America. In this region, a strong current carries water from west to east, sweeping


water from the Pacific into the Atlantic. * We came across reports by _BBC Science Focus_ and Princeton Library, which mentioned that the two oceans do mix together. * _BBC_ noted the two


oceans mix and are not separate. Though there is a difference between their densities and salinity levels, water currents and eddies cause both oceans to mix gradually. * However, ocean


water may not always appear to mix due to surface currents on water, which play a role in how water flows on the ocean's surface, as per the Encyclopaedia Brittanica. * The region


experiences strong currents; hence, the water flows west to east, "sweeping water from the Pacific into the Atlantic." * _BBC_ also wrote, "in reality, there’s no border


between them, and currents continually flow between them and mix their waters." * Additionally, the report mentioned that light-coloured, sediment-rich freshwater from melted glaciers


meet the dark, salty ocean water in the Gulf of Alaska and mix together.
