What is the layer in the ocean where the temperature varies with depth?
Thermocline
Why does the temperature in the thermocline decrease with depth?
The sun can't reach the thermocline layer to heat that depth of water
What is an thermocline?
a layer of water in the ocean where the temperature declines rapidly with depth
Why does the temperature in the thermocline decrease quickly in depth?
The sun can't reach the thermocline layer to heat that depth of water
Why does the temperature in the thermocline decreases quickly in depth?
The sun can't reach the thermocline layer to heat that depth of water
What layer of ocean water's temperature drops with increased depth the fastest?
thermocline
Which term refers to the layer of water in which there is a rapid change of temperature with depth in the ocean?
Thermocline
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 is an increase in temperature with height in an atmospheric layer called?
Temperature Inversion
A layer in a body of water in which water temperature drops with increased depth faster than it does in other layers?
This is known as a thermocline. It is a layer where the temperature decreases rapidly with depth. The thermocline often separates the warm surface waters from the colder deeper waters in a lake or ocean.
What layer in the atmosphere has the lowest temperature?
The Mesosphere has the lowest temperature of the layers of Earth's atmosphere because Temperature decreases with height in the mesosphere. The mesopause, the temperature minimum that marks the top of the mesosphere, is the coldest place on Earth and has an average temperature around −100 °C (−148.0 °F; 173.1 K)
Why does temperature in the thermocline decrease quickly with depth?
The sun can't reach the thermocline layer to heat that depth of water
