Well as you go further down into the ocean, it will be colder.

Usually but not always!! Temperature and salinity affect the density of seawater, and in many systems, density increases with depth (as temperature decreases and salinity increases). IT is however possible to observe patterns where dense water at depth is either very salty but warm, or very cold, but nearly fresh.

What is the relationship between depth and sunlight?

The relationship between depth and sunlight is that sunlight penetration decreases as depth increases in water. This is due to the absorption and scattering of light by water molecules and particles. Consequently, less sunlight reaches deeper parts of the water column, affecting the availability of light for photosynthesis and primary production.

Which term refers to the layer of water in which there is a rapid change of temperature with depth in the ocean?

The term you are referring to is "thermocline." It is the layer of water in the ocean where there is a rapid change in temperature with depth, serving as a barrier between warmer surface water and colder deep water.

What is the relationship between ocean depth and pressure?

As ocean depth increases, pressure also increases. This is because as water depth increases, there is more water above exerting force due to gravity. Pressure in the ocean increases about 1 atmosphere (atm) for every 10 meters of depth.
