List What are the three maim temperatureslayers in the ocean? |
Answer» The ocean has three main layers: the surface ocean, which is generally warm, and the deep ocean, which is colder and more dense than the surface ocean, and the seafloor sediments. The thermocline separates the surface from the deep ocean. Due to density differences, the surface and deep ocean layers do not EASILY mix.Now that we’ve quickly DISCUSSED some basics of how our atmosphere WORKS, it’s time to get down to business and start discussing how our oceans work! The oceans are a key component to discussing and understanding climate change. On this page, we will talk about the main layers of the ocean, since understanding this material is ESSENTIAL to understanding the next few pages (Ocean Chemistry & ACIDIFICATION) that will go into more detail about our ocean systems. |
