What is a movement of ocean water that forms far below the surface of the ocean called?
The water that forms far below the surface is called a Deep Current.
What is the boundary between the warmer surface water and colder ocean water called?
Thermal Layer
What is the boundary between the warmer surface water and colder deep ocean water called?
Thermal Layer
The replacement of warmer surface water by colder waters from below is referred to as?
Rechanging
What process cools the ocean?
The primary process that cools the ocean is evaporation, where water at the ocean's surface turns into water vapor, taking heat energy with it. Additionally, mixing of colder deep water with warmer surface water through ocean currents can also contribute to cooling the ocean.
Colder air moving over significantly warmer ocean surface water may produce?
Fog may form as much colder air moves over warmer ocean surface water. As the ocean evaporates into the colder air, it saturates the air producing fog that looks like streamers rising off the water.
Streamlike movements of water at or near the surface of the ocean are called?
Stream like movements of water that occur near the surface of the ocean are called surface currents. Stream like movements of ocean water far below the surface are known as a deep current.
What is the temperature in the ocean at Antarctica?
Ocean water off the Antarctic coast is between 32F degrees and about 27F degrees, based on the salinity of the water. It's always warmer in the ocean water than it is above the surface of the water.
What can you infer about the water at the surface of the ocean compared to the water hundreds of meters below?
The water at the surface of the ocean is generally warmer and more oxygen-rich due to exposure to sunlight and atmospheric interaction, supporting a diverse range of marine life. In contrast, water hundreds of meters below is colder, denser, and often has higher pressure, with reduced light penetration and lower oxygen levels. This deeper water can also contain different nutrient profiles and is less influenced by surface weather conditions. Overall, these differences create distinct ecological zones within the ocean.
A streamlike movement of ocean water far below the surface?
Deep currents are streamlike movements of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. Deep currents occur when the cold, dense water from the poles sinks below warmer, less sense ocean water and flows towards the equator.
What is The rising of cold water from deeper layers to replace warmer surface warmer surface water?

What is ocean warming?
When the light from the sun touches the surface of the water in oceans, the water absorbers the heat in the rays from the sun. Due to ice melting their is more water and it traps more heat inside the water making the oceans warmer and warmer.
