Answer» Correct Answer - A
The warner upper part of the lake or epilimnion becomes temporarily isolated from the colder lower water or hypolimnion by a thermocline zone (temperature stratification) that acts as a barrier to exchange of materials. Consequently. The supply of oxygen in the hypolimnion and nutrients in the epilimnion may run short.
