  • Cooling takes place through back radiation, convection, and evaporation.
  • Temperature controls currents, climate, and marine life.
  • Ocean temperature range is smaller than continental temperature range.
  • Pacific Ocean has a smaller temperature range than the Atlantic Ocean.
  • The southern hemisphere has a smaller range than the northern hemisphere.
  • Salinity means dissolved salt content in sea water.
  • Average salinity of sea water is 35‰.
