Was is the temperature of the ocean?

Answer 1

The average temperature of the ocean is about 1°C. The temperature of the ocean is 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit Answers to this question can be long and complicated, as a rule of thumb , water near the equator can be as high as 80 degrees Fahrenheit, near the Poles about 28 degrees Fahrenheit. The western sides of the oceans are usually warmer than the eastern sides, due to the way in which ocean currents move.

Answer 2

The sun hits the surface layer of the ocean, heating the water up. Wind and waves mix this layer up from top to bottom, so the heat gets mixed downward too. The temperature of the surface waters varies mainly with latitude. The polar seas (high latitude) can be as cold as -2 degrees Celsius (28.4 degrees Fahrenheit) while the Persian Gulf (low latitude) can be as warm as 36 degrees Celsius (96.8 degrees Fahrenheit). Ocean water, with an average salinityvof 35 PSU, freezes at -1.94 degrees Celsius (28.5 degrees Fahrenheit). That means at high latitudes sea ice can form. The average temperature of the ocean surface waters is about 17 degrees Celsius (62.6 degrees Fahrenheit).

90 % of the total volume of ocean is found below the thermocline in the deep ocean. The deep ocean is not well mixed. The deep ocean is made up of horizontal layers of equal density. Much of this deep ocean water is between 0-3 degrees Celsius (32-37.5 degrees Fahrenheit)! It's really, really cold down there!

Answer 3

It changes with the seasons and amount of sunlight available to heat it

Answer 4

It's body tempeture.
