Temperature deep inside the ocean is relatively unchanged by the time of the day - True

Explanation:

  • Ocean water temperature ranges from position to location – both latitude and depth due to changes of solar radiation and water's physical properties.
  • In the first few centimetres of ocean floor, much of the heat energy energy from sunlight is absorbed and heats up by day or cools by night because heat energy is lost by radiation in the space. Waves "mix" water close to the surface layer, so that heat can be distributed in deeper water to a relatively "uniform temperature".
  • Ocean water temperature varies with depth as well. Solar energy in the ocean is shown on the surface above or absorbed easily by depth, which means the less sunshine the lower the ocean you come down. This leads to less water warming.
  • So, the deep ocean at a temperature of just 4 ° C (39 ° F) (below about 200 m) is freezing. Cold water is therefore denser than warm water, and thus thicker. Cold water sinks below the surface warm water leading to the deep sea cold. Temperature variations have a significant effect on the distribution of life in the ocean due to the vertical structure of the ocean.

The deeper ocean water is not affected by the insolation of sun

Explanation:

  • The thermocline is a thin layer of thermal activity. The layer divided warmer water bodies compare to the deeper underwater bodies. The layers that are above or near to the surface have warmer water due to the presence of Sun.
  • The layers formed at the ocean bottom is are those made by dense water which is heavy and colder.  There is a repaid decline in temperature after 1000 meters. Hence remains unchanged.
