the depth does affect the temperature because less sun light gets to the bottom to get less heat
the deeper you go, the colder the ocean water gets
The temperature of ocean water can be affected by the depth. The deeper it gets, the colder the temperature. The current also can affect the temperature of ocean water.
The sun is not as close to the bottom of the ocean as it is at the top.
Temperature decreases with depth.
Factors that affect ocean temperature include proximity to the equator, wind patterns, ocean currents, depth of the water, and surface area exposed to sunlight. Other factors can include seasonality, geographical location, and global climate patterns such as El Niño and La Niña events.
Latitude and depth!!

A rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean is called thermocline. A rapid change in density with depth in the ocean is called the pynocline.Thermocline
The temperature of water typically decreases with depth in the ocean. This is because sunlight penetrates the surface layers, warming them, while deeper layers are colder and more uniform in temperature.
Non-living environmental factors in the ocean, such as sunlight, depth, pressure, and temperature, significantly influence the distribution of marine organisms. Sunlight determines the depth of the photic zone, where photosynthetic organisms thrive, while temperature affects metabolic rates and species survival. Pressure increases with depth, limiting the types of organisms that can inhabit extreme environments. Together, these factors create distinct habitats, leading to diverse ecosystems in different ocean regions.
The temperature goes down ie it gets colder.
