no. Ocean temperature is not uniform with depth or surface coordinates. Tom Clancy's novel, Hunt for the Red October, describes the phenomenon of thermocline; the novel is a great read too. The ocean surface that is facing the sun in the Tropics is a lot warmer than the surface in the Antarctica. The water temperature near a undersea volcano vent is the hottest of all.

If a person is swimming 3 meters below the surface of a pool do they feel more less or the same amount of pressure as the person swimming 3 meters below the oceans surface?

Less pressure because ocean water is salty and therefore denser.


Would there be winds if the Earth's surface were the same temperature everywhere?

yes becaus ethe wind's definnation is the movement of air cause by diffences in air pussure and if the air pressure says the same than the temperature say the same and the amount of wind is there if the temperature is around the 70's or below.


Is the outer core as hot as the surface of the sun?

Its quit tricky. Answer is yes. Its because of the electro magnetic radiations of sun that causes high temperature at surface. So surface temperature is nearly same to core temperature


What does the lines on a map for temperature stand for?

Isotherms and they are lines on a map that connect areas with the same surface temperature.


What is the temperature of the sun' core and sun's surface?

well when you set your microwave to high it is about the same temperature as the surface of the sun but the core can get as hot as an exploding microwaved watermelon


Why is the surface temperature of the oceans more variable than the water near the ocean floor?

In order for temperature to change the involved heat has to have some place to go. The water at the bottom of the ocean is surrounded by ground and other water that are already at the same temperature. Where can extra heat go to? At the surface the air transports heat up and away so ocean heat can leak out (or in) to the water.


Is the surface temperature on jupiter always the same?

Defining Jupiter's surface is a bit of a complex problem. That said, unless you literally define it in terms of temperature or something related to temperature, no, it would not be constant.


Would there be winds if earths surface was the same temperature everywhere?

No, there would not be winds if the earth's surface was the same temperature everywhere. The reason why is because during the day the land heats up faster than the water.


Condensation of water vapor in the air occurs when the temperature drops below the point at which the air's?

capacity and specific humidity are the same


Is the force of the water on the piers the same at the water surface as it is m below the surface?

No, the force of the water on the piers increases with depth below the surface due to the increasing pressure from the weight of water above. This is described by Pascal's law, which states that pressure in a fluid increases with depth.


If stars are the same color are they the same temperature?

Yes, they have roughly the same surface temperature. Internal temperatures may be very different depending on the respective stages of stellar evolution the stars are in.


Is minus 2 degrees colder than 2 below zero?

As long as you're in the same temperature system, -2 is the same as 2 below zero.
