Some of the factors affecting the temperatures distribution are:

■ Latitude: The temperature of the surface water decreases from the equator towards the poles because the sun rays become more and more inclined and hence the amount of insolation minimizes poleward.

■ Unequal Distribution of Land And Water: The oceans in the northern hemisphere receive more heat because of their contact with the larger extent of land than the equivalent parts in the southern hemisphere.

■ Prevailing Winds: The winds blowing from the land towards the ocean drive surface water away from the coasts resulting in an upwelling, in which deep cold water rises into the surface.

■Ocean Current: Warm ocean current decreases the temperature in cold areas whereas the cold current decreases the temperature in the warm ocean. For example, in a gulf stream, a warmer current increases the temperature of the Eastern coast of North America and the west coast of Europe.

■Other factors affecting the temperature distribution are local weather conditions like storms and cyclones.
