What the is thermocline?
The transition layer between the mixed layer at the surface and the deep water layer.
What happens to the temperature of ocean water in the thermocline region?
In the thermocline region, the temperature of ocean water decreases rapidly with depth due to the barrier between the warm surface layer and the cold deep layer. This abrupt change in temperature creates a distinct layer of transition between the warmer surface water and the colder deep water.
What are the three temperature layers of ocean water?
the first layer is the surface layer it is nice and warm and mixed with the waves. the next layer is the thermocline it is just warm not any thing special. the next is freezing cold i would not want to go there.
What is the deepest and densest layer of water in the ocean?
A basic answer is that the densest ocean water is the saltiest - a ship floats higher in salt water (sea) than in fresh water (lake). Also cold water tends to sink towards the ocean floor, or may form a layer mid way.
What marks the transition between the warm surface layer and the deep zone of cold water in the oceans?
The transition between the warm surface layer and the deep cold water in the oceans is marked by a distinct boundary called the thermocline. The thermocline is a region where temperature decreases rapidly with depth, signaling the shift from warmer surface waters to cooler deep waters in the ocean.
How is the ocean layered?
Mixed Layer Main Thermocline Deep Water Layer
What is the process that causes the transition from ocean to atmosphere?
The process that causes the transition from ocean to atmosphere is called evaporation. This is when water molecules at the ocean surface gain enough energy to break free from liquid form and enter the atmosphere as water vapor.
What is second cooler layer of ocean water?
The second cooler layer of ocean water is called the thermocline. It is the region of rapidly decreasing temperature with depth, typically found between the warmer surface layer (epipelagic zone) and the colder deep layer (abyssal zone) in the ocean.
The largest layer of the ocean by volume of water is?
Pacific ocean! :D I hope I helped ;)
Which of the gas planets has water on it?
uranus has a ocean of water underneath its layer of gas
Where is ocean floor at the greatest water depth?
the middle, between the ocean
What is an ocean ridge?
An ocean ridge is a line of mountains in middle of the ocean under the level of water.
