Explain why everything in the deep ocean below the shallowest surface water appears blue-green in color.
Expert Solution
Introduction

                       The color of the ocean is largely considered to be blue. The reason for this is the scattering of the light. Like the sky, blue gets more scattered and red gets more absorbed thus making the water of the ocean look sky blue. The scattering of light in the ocean is also dependent on the suspended particles. The variance of suspended particles gives the color variation across the oceans of the world.
