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.

Why are testing standard important when specifying density and specific volume?
That is because they have no constant value; at least temperature is of great influence so it should be stated.
What hopes to the pressure of a gas if the volume of gas is tripled at a constant temperature?
PV=nRT If n,R,T are constant than the only thing that can change is P 3*V has to be cancelled out 1/3 * 3 = 1 1/3P * 3V = nRT
Average temperature for the great lakes?
The temperature of the Great Lakes in winter ranges from about 12 degrees to 61 degrees Fahrenheit. In the summer, the temperature ranges from 28 degrees to 82 degrees Fahrenheit.
Where are metamorphic rocks made?
Metamorphic rocks are either created at great depth, or at contact zones with magmatic intrusions.
What is the average temperature in Great Britain?
The average temperature is minus zero to twenty degrees.
What is the interior temperature of the Great Pyramid of Giza?
The interior temperature of the Great Pyramid of Giza is constant and equals the average temperature of the earth, 68 Degrees Fahrenheit.
How and why dissolved oxygen changes with depth?
Oxygen can not penetrate to great depth.

Rocks at great depths are under?
Great depth means great heat and pressure.
What does the term IN DEPTH mean?
In great detail.

What is the depth for the Great Kanto earthquake?
approx 17km
How does the temperature remain constant in a vacuum flask. Explain why in can do so over a long period of time?
Vacuum is a great insulator, because there needs to be some medium for processes of conduction or convection to occur. The only possible way to transfer heat through vacuum is radiation, which is not as effective, especially that flask walls are also constructed to limit radiation heat transfer(they are reflective). Temperature stays the same if there are no means to transfer energy between interior end environment.

Lake Erie

What is true about the deepest parts of the ocean floor?
The deepest parts of oceans are dark all the time because natural light does not penetrate to the ocean depths. Little is known about life in the depths of the ocean. More is known about the moon than the depths of the oceans. Water pressure is great, the temperature is constant.
Why does the temperature in a body of water drop off so quickly once you reach a certain depth?
The solar rays are reflected, refracted, or absorbed by the water, so there is much less solar heating as you go deeper. Without mixing, or heat to drive convection currents, the water at great depth remains frigidly cold, even in the tropics. The sudden drop in temperature represents the point at which there is virtually no solar heating, and therefore no convection to mix the water.The level at which sea water exhibits a steep drop in temperature is called the thermocline.
