Explain the fact that the temperature of the ocean at great depth is very constant the year round at the temperature of about 4C?
Because water is densest at 4C, so it will sink to the bottom of the ocean.
What is the average temperature of ground water in Ontario?
The temperature of water from wells is remarkably constant. In wells that are from 30 to 60 feet deep, water temperature is 2° to 3°F above the annual mean temperature of the locality. Water decreases in temperature about 1°F for each 64 feet of depth to the well.
When an ocean's depth increases does the temperature increase or decrease?
In general, the answer is the water gets colder as you go deeper. But, there are exceptions. For example, at the Galapagos Rift there are intensely hot (hundreds of degrees) springs at depths of almost two miles.
Does the temperature of water decrease or increase with depth?
The shallower the water is, the warmer it can be. Direct sunlight will warm the water and as the water deepens, the warmth from the sun cannot reach as far. This creates a slightly colder temperature.
What affects ocean water temperature?
Latitude and depth!!
Could a freshwater lake have a peninsula?
no because the constant changes in the water's depth the lake does not have a peninsula.
If the depth of the layer between 1000mb and 500mb is increasing with time if the surface temperature likely to be increasing or decreasing?
Assuming the depth of the layer is restricted to between 1000mb and 500mb, and increasing with time, it is almost certain that the surface temperature will remain constant, thus not increasing or descreasing.
What are principal characteristic that determines whether an aquatic ecosystem is classified as marine or freshwater?
This is cheating. *AP Enviromental Science

How do depth and temperature affect pressure?
Depth and temperature affect pressure by increasing the pressure as the depth increases. As depth increases, temperature often falls.
How does temperature change with depth in Earth's crust?
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.
What describes how temperature and pressure change with depth below Earth's surface?
Both temperature and pressure increase with depth.
How does temperature change with depth below earths surface?
temperature increases with depth
Does the temperature in Earth's crust decrease in depth?
false, the temperature increases with depth
Why does liquid exert equal pressure at the same depth?
Pressure = h d g h is the depth, d the density of the liquid and g- acceleration due to gravity. As d and g remain constant, same h would have the same pressure. Hence the case.
How a heat pump is used to both heat and cool a building.?
a heat pump contains a water filled loop of pipe that is buried to a depth where the temperature is nearly constant
