Want this question answered?
Wind, deflection from land, temperature differences between layers of cold and warm water.
Temperature decreases with depth because warm water is more dense and tends to stay at the top layers of the ocean. Of course, currents could also influence temperatures sometimes.
The density of surface seawater ranges from about 1.020 to 1.029 g·cm-3, depending on the temperature and salinityThe average density of seawater at the surface of the ocean is 1.025 g/ml; seawater is denser than freshwater (which reaches a maximum density of 1.000 g/ml at a temperature of 4°C) because of the added mass of the salts.
Deep-ocean currents are affected by wind, temperature and earths rotation.
a layer in a body of water in which water temperature drops with increased depth faster than it does in other layers
the temperature of the water in the upper layers of the ocean
The temperature of ocean water can be affected by the depth. The deeper it gets, the colder the temperature. The current also can affect the temperature of ocean water.

There ar more than three layers.......
Temperature decreases with depth because warm water is more dense and tends to stay at the top layers of the ocean. Of course, currents could also influence temperatures sometimes.
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.
Less dense water floats on top of more dense water. Given two layers of water with the same salinity, the warmer water will float on top of the colder water. There is one catch though! Temperature has a greater effect on the density of water than salinity does.
everyone knows that water comes from the ocean
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceangraphers can describe the?
