light, light decreases with depth, affecting photosynthesis The deeper in the ocean you go, the less sunlight is present, and the less vigorous are algae. At some particular depth, the algae can no longer support themselves, so they cannot live at the depth (or deeper).

The temperature gradient.


How do depth and temperature affect pressure?

As depth increases, pressure also increases due to the weight of the water column above. Temperature affects pressure by influencing the density of a fluid; warm water is less dense and exerts less pressure than cold water at the same depth.

What is geothermal gradient?

Geothermal gradient is the rate of increasing temperature with respect to an increasing depth in the Earth's interior. It is approximately 25 degrees Celsius per kilometer of depth.

If the depth of the layer between 1000mb and 500mb is increasing with time if the surface temperature likely to be increasing or decreasing?

Assuming the depth of the layer is restricted to between 1000mb and 500mb, and increasing with time, it is almost certain that the surface temperature will remain constant, thus not increasing or descreasing.

What happens when water depth increases?

As water depth increases, the pressure exerted by the water on objects in the water also increases. Additionally, light penetration decreases, affecting aquatic plant growth and the ability of organisms to photosynthesize. Water temperature may also become more stable with increasing depth due to reduced influence from surface temperature fluctuations.
