Thermocline
the temperature drops rapidly :)
This is essentially correct, the correct use of Thermocline is often misunderstood. the temperature of the water is nearly always cooler than the outside air, the temperature declines- thermo-heat- pluc Decline- hence thermocline, with increasing depth but the external pressure goes up, an important problem for submarine designers, divers, and the like. almost always the water temperature is lower than the surrounding air, as shore-types well know.
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.
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.
The sun can't reach the thermocline layer to heat that depth of water

thermocline is the level in the ocean/sea water that dramatically DECREASES in temperature, and the halocline is the level in the ocean/sea water that dramatically INCREASES in temperature
the temperature drops rapidly :)

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.

Thermocline describes a steep temperature in a body of water. This temperature is gradient and can be in bodies of water such as lakes and ponds.

A pycnocline is a type of ecocline (or "cline" for short), just as thermocline and halocline are. An ecocline is where a series of biocommunities display a continuous gradient. A pycnocline is the difference in water density. A thermocline is the difference in water temperature. A halocline is the difference in water salinity
