A thermacline can be caused by many factors. These factors are mainly the season, latitude, and mixing caused by wind. The heating and cooling of the surface water in reaction to sunlight is a cause.

This is the definition of thermocline..
if u are using this for a test like in ur school program, like k12, ur cheating
The sun's radiation heats the surface' which descends to the depths and bring colder water to the surface Or basically the cold water come up and gets heated( which is a convection current)

What animals live in the thermocline layer of the ocean?
different types of micro organism are live thermocline.
Why does thermocline matter?
it keeps the water warm
Why does a thermocline matter?

Is there a thermocline present in high latitude ocean waters?
There is a thermocline present, but it may appear only seasonally. This is due to the fact that the sun's energy hits the earth at an angle (as opposed to straight on) in the high latitude ocean waters. Therefore, less penetrating heat rays = less of a thermocline.
A zone rapid temperature change is called what?
Thernocline
Which term refers to the layer of water in which there is a rapid change of temperature with depth in the ocean?
Thermocline
Does a strong thermocline typically exist near the poles?
No, there close no thermocline at the poles because there is almost no thermocline in polar waters due to the little amount of solar radiation at the poles.
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 a Thermocline and where it is?
A thermocline is a rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean. Depending on the latitude and season, thermoclines can be present or absent and vary in depth of occurrence, however a thermocline will usually be found in the mesopelagic zone.
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?

What is a thermocline and where is it located?
A thermocline is a rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean. Depending on the latitude and season, thermoclines can be present or absent and vary in depth of occurrence, however a thermocline will usually be found in the mesopelagic zone.
What is the temperature of waldo lake at 60 ft?
all lakes have a thermocline. Summer time the thermocline will be higher. In winter lower. Thermocline is a layer of water that is separated by temperature. Some lakes have a summer thermocline of 40 feet. But colder water in any lake will fluctuate with how cold and access to sunlight.
What is a Zone of rapid change in ocean temperature is called the?
A rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean is called thermocline. A rapid change in density with depth in the ocean is called the pynocline.Thermocline
Does a thermocline occur in a swimming pool?
no
The main thermocline is located at the zone?
In the mesopelagic
