What is temperature of ocean at surface?
The temperature of the ocean at the surface is not constant across all oceans. For example, the Arctic Ocean will have a much colder surface temperature than the Pacific.
Where are the regions of the universe including the surface atmosphere and oceans in which life exists or could exist?
ecosphere
Regions of the universe including the surface atmosphere and oceans in which life exists could exist?
ecosphere
Water in oceans lakes rivers and streams?
moderates changes in temperature on the surface
Moderates changes in temperature on the surface?
water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams
What effect would a long-term rise in the average surface temperature have on the oceans?
The oceans will rise, flooding some Coastlines.
How does water temperature affect the oceans movement?
Temperature affects the density of the seawater. Warming causes water to expand and become less dense. Excess warming at the surface may prevent surface water from being subducted to the ocean depths. Surface water typically retains its temperature/salinity balance after advecting to the ocean depths.
What is the relationship between latitude and sea surface temperature?
The oceans surface water temperature varies with the amount of solar radiation received, which is primarily a function of latitude.
How much of the Earths surface is considered marine?
Marine regions cover about three-fourths of the Earth's surface and include oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries
What is the temperature in marine biome?
The temperature in the marine biome varies depending on location and depth. Generally, surface water temperatures can range from below freezing in polar regions to over 90°F in tropical regions. Deeper ocean waters tend to be colder, with temperatures near freezing at the ocean floor.
What limits primary productivity in tropical oceans?
Primary productivity in tropical oceans is primarily limited by nutrient availability, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus. Factors such as temperature, light availability, and water movement can also influence primary productivity in tropical oceans. Upwelling events that bring nutrient-rich waters to the surface can enhance primary productivity in these regions.
What three things can cause slow change of the earths surface?
There are four main kinds of changes that can affect the earth's surface: 1)Earthquake 2)Flood 3)Valcano 4)Temperature
