Where is the warmest part of the ocean in the world?
In the Tropics. Shallow water will retain more heat than deeper water.
What is the main reason the warmest ocean waters are near the surface?
Warm ocean water is leass dense than cold water. So the cold water sinks and the warm water is left on top! Hope this helps! :)
Why is the Indian ocean warmer than the Atlantic ocean?
Because it lies near the tropical waters in all the oceans. Making it the warmest ocean, I think the pacific is the second warmest, Atlantic is the third southern ocean is the fourth and the arctic ocean is the coldest. It is small, and does not have a flow from the north.
How do ocean surfaces cause milder climate?
Ocean currents can carry warm water. As they are traveling, the warm water they are carrying warms up the air near them. The warmed air may then also warm the land around it, making the temperature of the land near the ocean currents milder.
Where is the warmest salt water north of the Carolinas?
The Northumberland Strait, near New Brunswick, Canada, reaches up to 25 degrees Celsius (about 77 degrees Fahrenheit) in the Summer months, even though the water is drained from the Atlantic Ocean.
How the temperature difference will change if you are near an ocean?
how the temperature difference would change if st. louis were next to an ocean
How do ocean surface currents cause milder climates?
Ocean currents can carry warm water. As they are traveling, the warm water they are carrying warms up the air near them. The warmed air may then also warm the land around it, making the temperature of the land near the ocean currents milder.
What temperature is the ocean near the equator?
Average temperature: 60 degrees F
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.
How does the ocean influence the temperature of land near it?
it is easy think about it
What is the freezing temperature for the ocean?
it depends on the volume of water and the salt content
How do you appreciate the role of the higher specific heat of water in stabilising atmospheric temperature during winter and summer seasons?
Live near an ocean.
