Under normal conditions, yes.
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.
Altitude: the higher you are, the cooler the air is, at least until entering the tropopause Latitude: the closer you are to the poles, the cooler the climate tends to be. Oceans: the closer to being downwind from an ocean or other large body of water, the closer the air is the temperature of the water surface. Further away, the air is more the temperature of the land which varies in temperature greatly.
temperature
The temperature of the ocean is 39 degrees below the surface.
Yes, air density is higher at the Earth's surface compared to the atmosphere at higher altitudes. This is because gravity compresses the air molecules closer together near the surface, resulting in higher density. As you go higher in the atmosphere, air density decreases due to lower pressure and less gravitational force acting on the molecules.
The ocean water has a high amount of dissolved salts.
suface zone and thermocline zone
The surface of the ocean tends to bunch up over submerged mountains and ridges due to gravitational forces. These underwater features create variations in the Earth's gravitational field, causing water to be drawn slightly closer to them. This results in a bulge in the ocean surface above these structures. Additionally, the ocean's surface is influenced by factors like currents and temperature, but the primary reason for the bulging effect is the local gravitational pull of the underlying topography.
