What to Focus On

  • Ocean temperature decreases from equator to poles.
  • Solar radiation is the primary source of ocean heating.
  • Temperature decreases with depth, forming three vertical zones.

  • Temperature decreases with increasing latitude.
  • Ocean currents redistribute heat across latitudes.
  • Winds and landmasses influence regional temperature patterns.

  • Temperature decreases rapidly in the thermocline (100–1000 m).
  • Deep ocean water is cold and stable, around 1–2°C.
  • The surface zone is well-mixed and warmer.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ocean temperature decreases uniformly with depth everywhere.

The equator has the highest ocean salinity because it’s the hottest region.

All oceans have the same average salinity of 35‰.

Memory Tips
