The warmest ocean is the Indian Ocean. The temperature of the surface water is sometimes as warm as 36.6 degrees Celsius. However, in the south, the waters become icy cold where the Indian Ocean meets the chilly Southern Ocean.
Ice is a form of water that will float on the surface of the ocean.
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! :)
Equator.
Ocean water generally gets warmer toward the equator and cooler toward the poles. However, the warmest water is not usually observed directly on the equator itself.
In the Tropics. Shallow water will retain more heat than deeper water.
Warm water is less dense than cold water.
because the ocean is made of salt water and the most salt wateris at the top
An upwelling is a current in the ocean that brings deep, cold water to the ocean surface.
This section of the ocean from floor to surface is called the water column.
Conveyor Belt Cycling describes the movement of the ocean water between surface and deep water.
Stream like movements of water that occur near the surface of the ocean are called surface currents. Stream like movements of ocean water far below the surface are known as a deep current.
