Answer:
Temperature of the sea water decreases with increasing depth. However, this change in temperature is not uniform everywhere. The temperature of the sea water changes rapidly with depth at equatorial areas. ... Near polar areas, however, the variation between surface temperature and temperature at depth is nil.

Water gets colder with depth because cold, salty ocean water sinks to the bottom of the ocean basins below the less dense warmer water near the surface. ... The actual amount of heat generated per square meter of Earth is quite small, especially compared to the amount of heat necessary to warm the ocean.
