How does depth affect ocean temperature?
the deeper you go, the colder the ocean water gets
Two things that can affect the temperature of ocean water?
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.
How does ocean temperature with ocean depth?
The sun is not as close to the bottom of the ocean as it is at the top.
WHAT HAPPEN TO THE TEMPERATURE AS YOU GO DEEPER INTO THE OCEAN?
Temperature decreases with depth.
What affects ocean water temperature?
Latitude and depth!!
What is the layer in the ocean where the temperature varies with depth?
Thermocline
What are factors that affect ocean temperature?
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.
The layer in the ocean where the temperature varies with depth is called the?
Thermocline
What is a Zone of rapid change in ocean temperature is called the?
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
Does the temperature of water decrease or increase with depth?
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.
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 happends to temperature as depth of ocean increases?
The temperature goes down ie it gets colder.
