Why water need conservation even though large oceans are surrounded by land masses?
because water in oceans and seas is salty
What is the temperature in Yukon Alaska?
The Yukon Territory is prone to extreme temperatures primarily due to its continental location (the Arctic Ocean to the north is usually frozen, so it cannot have a modifying influence). The average July temperature at most locations is above 20C, though summers are brief. In winter, it is not unusual for the Yukon to have the lowest temperatures in Canada (and all of North America, for that matter). Temperatures average below -20C and rarely get above freezing. Temperatures below -40 do occur in most places annually, and have been lower than -60C. Refer to the related link for current temperatures at stations around the territory.
Where can you find average temperatures by month for a given location?
there is no good websites weatherbase.com might be good though
Is unusual because it takes a large amount of heat to raise its temperature water's temperature does not change as much as surroundings air or land?
Water has a higher specific heat capacity than land (soil, rocks, etc), and also the sun's radiation is not absorbed by water so easily as for land. Similarly for air. Thus the oceans moderate the temperatures reached under sunlight, and the land near the oceans is always cooler than that inland, in summer. In winter though the reverse can be true, because the oceans then become a large store of thermal energy whilst the land cools more quickly in the absence of strong sunlight.
How does climate affect the oceans?
itm has ice in it which causes the sea to cool down so it turns the air colder, so the rain is colder which makes everything it lands on colder :) hope this helpped geo dude!

Do two oceans meet in Mexico?
There are not two oceans that meet in Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea meet on Mexico's east side though.
How does ocean water help to keep Earth's climates within the range of temperatures safe for life?
Strictly speaking, the oceans do not guarantee a hospitable climate. We have evidence that the oceans have all frozen at one time ("snowball earth") and also that at one time the tropical oceans reached a scalding 50 Celsius at which no animals could survive. However, the oceans do help in several ways. One is that they are enormous reservoirs which cannot swiftly change, and they exchange heat with the atmosphere more efficiently than land, so the air temperatures are prevented from changing too quickly because the ocean takes a long time to catch up. The ocean currents are also very important since they move heat on a huge scale, bringing warm water to cold regions and cold water to warm regions. This both balances our climate and also creates many of our weather patterns. The oceans create our weather, with the evaporation from oceans creating most of the rain all land plants and animals need, and heat transfer to and from the oceans drives our winds, storms, and climate patterns such as el Nino and Monsoons. The oceans are also chemical reservoirs which do things like absorb carbon dioxide. Finally, the oceans contain life, and life in the oceans created the modern atmosphere we all depend upon, and continues to participate in cycles governing atmospheric components such as the oxygen we breath, carbon dioxide and methane which are major greenhouse gasses. So the ocean participates as an essential element in safe climate. The geological record shows that in extreme cases even the oceans cannot keep the climate safe, though it does slow down the rate of change.
Do all metal melt?
Yes, though they melt at different temperatures.
Do stone fish live in oceans?
Yes,They are found in the coastal regions of Indo-Pacific oceans. They are primarily marine, though some species are known to live in rivers.
Where are iceberg?
Icebergs are in the oceans, though they are located nearer to the top section of Earth, where it is colder and they can last.
Paleontologists noticed that these were the same on different continents even though the contients were separated by oceans?
fossils
What temperature do sea urchins live in?
Sea urchins prefer temperatures at 82 degrees. They can live in salt water temperatures from 72 to 86 degrees though.
How many species of animals are there estimated to be?
There are speculations that 10 million species have already been found. However it is though that we still don't know about 90 % of the species. These species live in places which are inaccessible to humans like deep oceans, high mountains, etc.

Why do isotherms shift more over continents than oceans?
Because water absorbs heat keeping it from making it hotter and then over the course of inter releases it keeping it from getting cold. In other words the farther inland you go the more extreme temperatures get. This is why places like new Zealand don't get much snow even though they are far from the equator and why Siberia is the coldest place on earth. Its also why places such as Midwest America get much colder than, say Britain, the western coast and most of the eastern coast(excluding parts more north like New York and Maine)
What is the killer whale's range?
The range is many though out the oceans. They swim throught out groups of 10 and are not killer
