What is temperature of ocean at surface?
The temperature of the ocean at the surface is not constant across all oceans. For example, the Arctic Ocean will have a much colder surface temperature than the Pacific.
Why is the temperature of fish more consistent than reptiles or amphibians?
Water keeps temperature more constant.
How do you think the temperature of the ocean compares with the temperature of the land nearby?
Land heats more rapidly and to higher temperatures than water does, and cools quicker to lower temperatures than water. Ocean temperatures are more moderate than land temperatures.
What is true about the deepest part of the ocean floor?
The deepest parts of oceans are dark all the time because natural light does not penetrate to the ocean depths. Little is known about life in the depths of the ocean. More is known about the moon than the depths of the oceans. Water pressure is great, the temperature is constant.
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.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature to freeze the surface of a fresh water 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.

Why does the southern hemisphere have smaller temperature variations than the northern hemisphere?
There is more open ocean
Why its warmer in winter by the coast than in land?
The sea has a constant temperature and as a result keeps the temperatures on the coast more constant. it is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Which property of water explains why coastal areas of land have a more constant temperature than inland areas?
Heat Capacity.
Which property of water explains why coastal area of land have more constant temperature than inland areas?
Heat Capacity
What is ALWAYS true about the temperature of a substance during a phase change?
Its constant (more-or-less, since energy is used in changing state rather than increasing temperature)
