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! :)
At the surface of the ocean in the warmest area of the ocean.
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.
The Indian ocean is the warmest ocean

The warmest ocean in the world is the Indian ocean.
Ocean water is typically warmest in the tropics, particularly in areas near the equator where solar radiation is most intense. The warmest surface waters are found in regions like the Caribbean Sea and the Coral Sea, where temperatures can exceed 30°C (86°F). Additionally, warm water currents, such as the Gulf Stream, can also elevate temperatures in certain oceanic regions.
The warmest ocean waters in the US during May are typically found off the coast of Florida, particularly in the southern part of the state. This is due to the warm Gulf Stream current that flows along the eastern coast of Florida, bringing tropical waters from the Caribbean Sea.
Surface Zone
Because it lies near the tropical waters in all the oceans. Making it the warmest ocean, I think the pacific is the second warmest, Atlantic is the third southern ocean is the fourth and the arctic ocean is the coldest. It is small, and does not have a flow from the north.

Upwelling is the ocean process that brings vital nutrients from the bottom to the surface waters. It occurs when cold, nutrient-rich waters from the deep ocean rise to the surface, fueling the growth of phytoplankton and supporting a vibrant marine ecosystem.
