i think its just a hard answer i cant answer sorry HATERZ!!!!!!!

a layer of water in the ocean where the temperature declines rapidly with depth
The layer of water where temperature drops sharply is called the thermocline. This is a zone of rapid temperature change in the ocean that separates the warm surface water from the colder deep water.
the first layer is the surface layer it is nice and warm and mixed with the waves. the next layer is the thermocline it is just warm not any thing special. the next is freezing cold i would not want to go there.
In the thermocline region, the temperature of ocean water decreases rapidly with depth due to the barrier between the warm surface layer and the cold deep layer. This abrupt change in temperature creates a distinct layer of transition between the warmer surface water and the colder deep water.
thermocline
The term you are referring to is "thermocline." It is the layer of water in the ocean where there is a rapid change in temperature with depth, serving as a barrier between warmer surface water and colder deep water.
The second cooler layer of ocean water is called the thermocline. It is the region of rapidly decreasing temperature with depth, typically found between the warmer surface layer (epipelagic zone) and the colder deep layer (abyssal zone) in the ocean.
The coldest place in the Ocean is in the deep water layer. The water temperature in this zone decreases slowly as depth increases.
because the ocean is made of salt water and the most salt wateris at the top

The temperature of ocean water can be affected by the depth. The deeper it gets, the colder the temperature. The current also can affect the temperature of ocean water.
Pressre increases as you move from the surface to the ocean floor. The pressure is a result of the weight of the water above. The deeper you go, the more water you will have above you and the greater the weight and thus pressure.In general temperatures decrease as you move from the surface to the ocean floor. The simplest reasons for this are:the energy of the sun does not penetrate deep into the ocean so the lower layers cannot be warmed by itcolder water is more dense and sinks while warmer water risesThis is only a general rule however. Near thermal vents, the temperatures can be above the boiling point of water - even at the high pressures found at the bottom of the ocean.The decrease in temperature is not a smooth one. Much of the ocean has a layered temperature structure. The sun-warmed surface water mixes with cooler, deeper waters as winds, breaking waves and turbulent currents stir the water. One result of this mixing is a surface layer having nearly uniform temperature, or isothermal, conditions. The temperature of seawater immediately below the mixed layer changes rapidly with depth. This layer of rapid temperature change extends down to about 1,000 m and is called the main thermocline. The main thermocline separates the warmer mixed layer above from the cooler deep layer below. In the deep layer, the water is almost isothermal, with only a gradual decrease in temperature to the ocean floor. The deep layer starts at a depth of around 1,000 m and extends to the ocean floor.
