Which term refers to the layer of water in which there is a rapid change of temperature with depth in the ocean?
Thermocline
What are the three temperature layers of ocean water?
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.
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.
Why is the surface zone warmer than the thermocline?
The surface zone is the outer most layer in the ocean and is heated by the sun's energy. - A sixth grader answered this
Why is the thermocline typically not found in high latitude seas?
The thermocline is the boundary layer between a layer of warm water on top of a layer of colder water. Warmer water is less dense, and floats on top of the cold water, which is more dense. The depth of the thermocline will vary with the season, the bottom terrain, and the weather; for example, high winds with large waves will cause considerable mixing in the top 100 feet of water. The thermocline will be below that, or may not exist at all. For scuba divers, it is sometimes possible to lay down on the thermocline; if your buoyancy is perfectly adjusted, you will sink through the less-dense warm water but "float" on top of the denser cold water. Sound waves are bent differently in different water density layers; in submarine warfare, submarines can hide or be exposed depending on where they are relative to the thermocline. In high latitudes, sunlight sometimes reflects off the water surface rather than penetrating the surface and warming the upper ocean layers.
