Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a fresh lake?
The ocean is larger than a lake. Therefore, being larger it can absorb more heat. That is why a lower temperature is needed to freeze it.

What major method by which heat flows between the ocean's surface and the deep ocean?
i dont know what is it
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
Where is heat flow the highest on the surface of the earth?
Mid Ocean Ridges
What condition is needed to evaporate surface?
presence of heat energy
Where does the heat and moisture of hurricanes come from?
The heat and moisture comes from warm ocean water. The heat that warms the ocean water ultimately comes from the sun.
Why is the surface temperature of the oceans more variable than the water near the ocean floor?
In order for temperature to change the involved heat has to have some place to go. The water at the bottom of the ocean is surrounded by ground and other water that are already at the same temperature. Where can extra heat go to? At the surface the air transports heat up and away so ocean heat can leak out (or in) to the water.
Large streams of surface seawaterthey move heat around Earth?
ocean currents
Use ablate in a sentence?
We needed to ablate the metal surface with intense heat
Wind blowing across the ocean surface provides the disturbing force for?
