What two things usually effect ocean surface- zone temperatures in most regions?
the heat from sun and latitude and longitude
What affects the temperatures along the Coastlines of the US and other countries?
The Ocean.
Ocean currents and global wind patterns strongly affects a regions what?
Climate(:
What makes ocean surface temperatures vary?
The size, and how close to the equator they are.
What is the cause of rising surface temperatures of the Pacific Ocean?
la nina
Colder-than-normal Pacific Ocean surface temperatures?

List three factors that affect salinity in the ocean and three factors that affect ocean temperatures. Explain how each factor affects salinity or temperatures?
Three factors are evaporation and freezing of sea water.
What are some solutions to lower sea surface temperatures?
Ocean stratification is one of the solutions to lower the sea surface temperature.
Why is Uranus' ocean hot?
Uranus' ocean is hot due to the atmosphere in the planet. The surface is said to be made of an ocean that is very hot at extremely high temperatures.
Why does the ocean have different temperatures?
different depths of the ocean have different temperatures. For example: the temperature in the deeper part of the ocean would be colder because the sun cannot easily reach it. The temperature near the surface of the ocean would be warmer because the sun can easily reach it.
A change in the water temperature of the eastern pacific ocean that produces cooler than usual surface water temperatures?
La Nina is a change in temperature that produces cooler temperatures at the surface.
How does the temperature affect the circulation of the ocean?
Higher temperatures in the polar regions can increase sea levels by melting more ice. In the ocean, increased temperatures result in greater evaporation and can therefore increase precipitation over both the ocean and the land.
