penetration in the ocean is dependent on the angle radiation is coming in, the amount of turbulence on
the ocean surface, and the presence of ice and foam. Information can be found in the section The

Asia and Africa are dependent on the summer monsoon rains, but the strongest summer monsoons are
found in Asia. There can be as much as 10 meters of rainfall. Information can be found in the section
