Which mechanism causes the formation of unusually deep thermoclines in meromictic lakes?

💡 Explanation

When there's a density difference in the water columns temperature inversion due to density differences prevents complete mixing as the heavier cooler water remains at the bottom forming unusually deep thermoclines. Therefore, thermal stratification causes deep thermoclines rather than options which require the opposite scenario in meromictic lakes.
