. How much is the temperature at the equatorial areas at a depth of 500m? 2. What is the temperature of seawater at the sea-level in the mid- latitudes? 3. At what depth does the seawater temperature remain stable everywhere? 4. What is the temperature at 500, 1000 and 1500m depths at high latitudes?
Answers
Answer:
1Ans: The maximum temperature of sea water in equatorial areas is 180C. At the depth of 500 m, the temperature of sea water is 110C.
2Ans: At midlatitudes the mid-ocean temperatures vary about 8 °C (14.4 °F) over the year. At the polar latitudes the surface temperature remains near the freezing point of seawater, about −1.9 °C (28.6 °F).
3Ans: About 13,100 feet
In the thermocline, temperature decreases rapidly from the mixed upper layer of the ocean (called the epipelagic zone) to much colder deep water in the thermocline (mesopelagic zone). Below 3,300 feet to a depth of about 13,100 feet , water temperature remains constant.
4Ans: The Depth and temperature of seawater Page 3 temperature of the sea water even at 500 m, 1000 m or even 1500 m depth in high latitude is uniformly 40C. * After what depth does the seawater temperature remain stable everywhere?
