Why Is The Atlantic Ocean Brown?
The coloration of coastal ocean waters is usually due to the soil that feeding rivers and bayous pass through. If the soil is high in organic, then it will tend to be more brown. Good example is the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The rivers feeding the Mississippi Sound are high in clay, and organic matter.
Why is the water in the Atlantic ocean brown?
When the water looks murky or brown, it means there is a lot of mud, or sediment, in the water. Sediment particles can be so tiny that they take a long time to settle to the bottom, so they travel wherever the water goes. Rivers carry sediment into the bay, and waves and tides help keep the sediment suspended.
