The shallower the water is, the warmer it can be. Direct sunlight will warm the water and as the water deepens, the warmth from the sun cannot reach as far. This creates a slightly colder temperature.

When an ocean's depth increases does the temperature increase or decrease?

In general, the answer is the water gets colder as you go deeper. But, there are exceptions. For example, at the Galapagos Rift there are intensely hot (hundreds of degrees) springs at depths of almost two miles.


How do you convert water psi to water temperature?

Not directly you cant, but sea temperature does decrease with depth, although its not a straight line graph ( though depth : pressure is.)


Why does the temperature in the thermocline decrease with depth?

If you add baking soda to water will the temp of the water increase or decrease?

yes it will slightly increase the temperature


Which substances when added to water will cause the greatest increase and decrease in water temperature?

Adding hot water will cause the greatest increase in water temperature, as it has a higher initial temperature. Adding ice will cause the greatest decrease in water temperature, as it absorbs heat from the water to melt and reach thermal equilibrium.


When temperature decreases what does the volume of liquid water do increase or decrease?

The volume of water increase under 3,98 oC.


Does the rate of water evaporation increase or decrease as temperature rises?

As temperature rises, the rate of water evaporation increases.

Why would water condense or evaporate?

Water is evaporated when the temperature increase and condensed when the temeperature decrease.


How weather affects evaporation of water from land and sea?

Evaporation increase with the increase of temperature and decrease of pressure..


Why does the temperature of the zone of surface water decrease only slightly as depth increases?

The temperature of surface water is influenced by factors like sunlight, wind, and air temperature, which can cause variations. Where these factors are the primary source of heat, the temperature gradient in surface water may decrease only slightly with depth. Deeper water is insulated from these immediate changes, allowing it to maintain a more consistent temperature.
