Daytime sea water temperatures vary considerably depending on the location (especially latitude) and time of year. The temperatures also vary considerably with depth. Near the poles (Arctic and Antarctic) the surface temperature of sea water is around -4 °C (salt water freezes at a lower temperature than pure water so it is still liquid below 0 °C). Near the equator, surface temperatures may be as high as 36 °C. Note that temperature can vary quite a bit throughout the day. The closer to the surface, the more the temperature varies; on calm days, the temperature at any particular surface location can vary by around 6 °C (10 °F) while it hardly changes at all below 10 meters depth. The temperature of sea water near the ocean floor is around 2-3 °C (except near hydrothermal vents) no matter what time of day. Near hydrothermal vents the temperatures can be 60 °C (140 °F)up to as high as 464 °C (867 °F). Note that at the highest temperatures, the sea water will actually be a supercritical fluid so it wouldn't quite be the liquid phase we normally associate with "water".
What else can I help you with?
When During daytime when the sun which warms faster the land or the sea?
Land warms faster than the sea during the daytime because land has a lower heat capacity than water. This means that land can heat up quicker when exposed to sunlight compared to water.
During the summer months which change in location would most likely cause a decrease in the observed daytime air temperature?
A change from sea level to 5km above sea level. This will cause dry air to decrease. As air rises, it expands and cools.
What are sea breezes and when do they blow?
Sea breezes are winds that blow from the sea towards the land during the day because the land heats up faster than the water. This temperature difference creates a pressure gradient that causes the air to move inland, bringing cooler air from the ocean. Sea breezes typically occur in the daytime and are strongest in the afternoon.
Is it a land breeze or sea breeze when cooler air from over the water takes place of warmer air over land?
It is a sea breeze when cooler air from over the water replaces warmer air over the land. Sea breezes occur during the daytime when the land heats faster than the water, causing the warm air over the land to rise and be replaced by the cooler air from the sea.
How does air temperature over land and adjacent bodies of water change between day and night?
In the daytime the Sun heats up the surface of the Oceans slightly faster than the Earth's surfaces: it heats the air above and the Wind runs from the Land to the Sea. In the evening the Sun's warmth is retained in the mass of the Earth's surface longer than in the Oceans' bulk: it heats the air above and the Wind flows from the Sea to the Land.
What cause the sea beach shore temperature to increase during the daytime?
Energy from the Sun.
What can you notice about the temperature of sea water during boiling?
The boiling point of sea water is higher compared with pure water. Temperature remain constant during boiling.
When During daytime when the sun which warms faster the land or the sea?
Land warms faster than the sea during the daytime because land has a lower heat capacity than water. This means that land can heat up quicker when exposed to sunlight compared to water.
During the summer months which change in location would most likely cause a decrease in the observed daytime air temperature?
A change from sea level to 5km above sea level. This will cause dry air to decrease. As air rises, it expands and cools.
What is the temperature of boiling water at sea level?
The temperature of boiling water at sea level is 100 The temperature of boiling water at sea level is 211.149°F.
What are sea breezes and when do they blow?
Sea breezes are winds that blow from the sea towards the land during the day because the land heats up faster than the water. This temperature difference creates a pressure gradient that causes the air to move inland, bringing cooler air from the ocean. Sea breezes typically occur in the daytime and are strongest in the afternoon.
Which absorbs heat faster sea breeze during daytime?
Sea breeze absorbs heat faster during the daytime because the land heats up more quickly than the ocean due to differences in specific heat capacity. As a result, the air above the land rises and cooler air from the sea moves in to replace it, creating a sea breeze.
What is the approximate sea surface temperature for a hurricane development?
The temperature usually becomes a lot warmer during a tropical storm as water vapor is transported into the troposphere. In tropical oceans, the sea surface temperature (SST) becomes warmer as the water changes rapidly in a layer of the ocean called the thermocline.
Is it a land breeze or sea breeze when cooler air from over the water takes place of warmer air over land?
It is a sea breeze when cooler air from over the water replaces warmer air over the land. Sea breezes occur during the daytime when the land heats faster than the water, causing the warm air over the land to rise and be replaced by the cooler air from the sea.
Which body of sea water have the lowest freezing temperature?
dead sea
What is the sea water temperature?
-65'c
Does rain water boil at lower temperature than sea water?
Rain water would normally boil at a slightly lower temperature than sea water, assuming the rain water has fewer dissolved particles in it compared to sea water.
