What is the relationship between water temperature and ocean depth?

Well as you go further down into the ocean, it will be colder.
Usually but not always!! Temperature and salinity affect the density of seawater, and in many systems, density increases with depth (as temperature decreases and salinity increases). IT is however possible to observe patterns where dense water at depth is either very salty but warm, or very cold, but nearly fresh.

Hope I helped <3 good luck with your quiz and/or quick check!

∙ 13y agowell, obviously it's because the farther down in the water you go, the less sun you are recieving. the sun can't just make everything warm, now can it?

What is the relationship between depth and sunlight?
The relationship between depth and sunlight is positive. The more sunlight there is, the deeper you can see into the ocean.
What is the relationship between an ocean's temperature and slinity?
it is how much salt mass in the ocean water
What is the relationship between ocean depth and pressure?
The pressure (force per cm2) at a particular depth is the weight of water above that square centimetre.
How does ocean temperature with ocean depth?
The sun is not as close to the bottom of the ocean as it is at the top.
WHAT HAPPEN TO THE TEMPERATURE AS YOU GO DEEPER INTO THE OCEAN?
Temperature decreases with depth.
What affects ocean water temperature?
Latitude and depth!!
What is the layer in the ocean where the temperature varies with depth?
Thermocline
What is depth as it is relating to the ocean?
Depth is a measure of distance between the surface and the ocean floor.
What is the relationship between the rise of ocean temperatures and the rise in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide?
The relationship between the rise of ocean temperatures and the rise in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide is that when there is a rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide the warmer the temperature of the ocean is
How does depth affect ocean temperature?
the deeper you go, the colder the ocean water gets
The layer in the ocean where the temperature varies with depth is called the?
Thermocline
Does the depth of the ocean affect its temperature?
the depth does affect the temperature because less sun light gets to the bottom to get less heat
