the first layer is the surface layer it is nice and warm and mixed with the waves.
the next layer is the thermocline it is just warm not any thing special.
the next is freezing cold i would not want to go there.

∙ 9y agoBased on temperature verses depth profile, the three ocean layers are-
1. Mixed layer, 2. Main thermocline and 3. Deep water layer.
The mixed layer is the upper layer of fairly constant warm temperatures.
The main thermocline is the central layer of the ocean and deep water layer is the innermost ocean layer.

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 happens to the temperature of ocean water in the thermocline region?
the temperature drops rapidly :)
What affects ocean water temperature?
Latitude and depth!!
Describe the two steps of upwelling?
Upwelling is water raising from deep in the ocean to the surface. It can be caused by wind ar density currents.
Is determined by the amount of dissolved salts in water?
Ocean salinity
What are the 3 layers of the ocean water?
There ar more than three layers.......
What is the major cause of the distribution of sediments on the ocean floors of the world?
the temperature of the water in the upper layers of the ocean
Two things that can affect the temperature of ocean water?
The temperature of ocean water can be affected by the depth. The deeper it gets, the colder the temperature. The current also can affect the temperature of ocean water.
What are 3 things that affect surface ocean currents?
Wind, deflection from land, temperature differences between layers of cold and warm water.
Which three factors are most important in determining the composition of ocean water?
temperature,salinity,and density
How does the temperature of the ocean change with depth?
Temperature decreases with depth because warm water is more dense and tends to stay at the top layers of the ocean. Of course, currents could also influence temperatures sometimes.
What are three ways that density of ocean can increase?
here are 3 ways... 1) temperature going down 2) the salinity of the water 3) ice blocks...
How does temperature affect the density of ocean water?
Less dense water floats on top of more dense water. Given two layers of water with the same salinity, the warmer water will float on top of the colder water. There is one catch though! Temperature has a greater effect on the density of water than salinity does.
A temperature of 32k is the temperature at which water?
everyone knows that water comes from the ocean
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceangraphers can describe the?

What property of water is affected by temperature and salinity?
ocean water
What is the average temperature of ocean water?
45
