What to Focus On

  • Ocean water is heated by solar radiation and heat from the earth's interior.
  • 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‰.
  • Sea water contains 47 types of salts.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
